That's very similar to what I'm thinking of having done. Did you do it or was it on the car when you purchased it? If you did it, what handling changes, if any, did you notice. Also, what is the weight of that wing? Thanks.

How do you mean that's a stick on? Don't you have to remove the stock spoiler to install this with bolts?

I don't think so. If you look, it appears there is a seam at the bottom of the spoiler where it should meet the trunk lid, and to me this looks very much like the painted lip of the orignal spoiler, covered by the "stuck on" raised spoiler. I don't know that I'd trust whatever has bonded it on there to getting battered by potential triple digit mph air when the spoiler is raised...but it does look pretty clean lowered.
robinp, can you give us a picture of it raised? I'm curious to see how that looks.

Dang...that actually looks pretty good, doesn't look like it doesn't belong, and actually keeps your original spoiler with the plastic that's actually providing the downforce.
Where'd you pick this "stick-on" spoiler up? All I seem to find are the type meant to replace the spoiler instead of apply on top of the original.

I see. How is it held on? Just with something like 3M double-sided tape?

Where did you get those humps over the soft top?
I'm updating the look on my bucket of bolts. 997 Turbo look wheels and the 'PORSCHE" decals along the doors.
I will probably do satin black wrap on the car after some bodywork/PDR.
My buddy is in to help. Voila new car.

Thue humps are the factory Speedster option. There are a couple places you can get them aftermarket, but you have to make sure you get all the hardware supplied with them or they will not secure properly.
I forget how much they were when I optioned them for the car from the factory, but I think the aftermarket ones selling on the net are around 600.
