Rear wing for Porsche 987 Cayman & Boxster

something like this for the 986 would rock. or a ducktail - a ducktail would also rock.

Yep..these are the best looking out there. Looks like you would actually get down force out of it. tried to get these guys to give me a plan view pattern to see if they could be made to work on a 986...no luck. I was actual thinking of working off of the 986 spoiler metal frame or putting a 987 mechanism in to take the wing

I have always wondered about the loss of lift spoiling capability with removal of the stock blade.....also very reluctant to alter the stock lines unless the thing looks spot on

Currently they these are being produced

Nice...that's what I'm talkin' about. I think these spoilers give a nice touch to a somewhat drab tail (IMHO). My car and my friends...both '02 BoxS...only 230~ serial numbers apart.

I likey, can't wait for mine to be delivered. Thanks guys. I couldn't agree more with both of you. Again I appreciate the photos. jmatta, the side by side really speaks volumes. I think the word "drab" is a good way of stating it.

I hear that PartWeave is working on a new wing design for that WWII fighter plane ;)

Oh the wing on your car looks good to me. Thanks for the pic:cheers:

Seriously, I assumed they designed it with the same idea as the 964 spoiler: keep the clean lines of the car until you absolutely need to change the aerodynamics. I personally like the rear of the 986 sans spoiler, even if it looks less-than-ideal once the 'wing' is deployed at speed. Like I said, I never see it.

The redesigned rear of the 987 flows much better with an exposed spoiler IMO, as evidenced by the Boxster Spyder.

-T

I also like the rear of the 987 the best of the three Boxster designs. But I like LeMans GT1 headlights on the 986 the best of all. It really just absolutely needs the GT3 bumper to shine. Which then means you have to add skirting to even out the overhang and that unfortunately means you need to upgrade to 18" wheels to fill in the now larger wheel well shape. I wish they would have continued evolving the fried eggs into something uniquely Porsche instead of just lifting the Ferrari headlights for the 981.
I also like the sides of the 986 better than the funny looking air intake on the 987 and I'm not a fan of the CGT'esque intake on the 981 which seems too obvious to me, reminds me of those CGT Boxster conversion kits. I would have liked something completely new and not a rehash of an old design.

This spoiler is nice. Gives it a little bit of the duck bill thing. If you're going to own a car for this long why not spice it up a bit. But those gaps really make it a dark car thing only.

Actually it`s a WWII Harvard trainer.The picture was taken at the airport where pilots were trained for the war. That one crashed into the lake on a training run. It was brought up by some veteran airmen and was restored and put on that monument. It is in front of the Air Force Club that is located at the airport.Ya it looks even better in person.

I wanted this spoiler to give it a little more panache in the closed position, but didn't try it because it looked like it might be a chore to incorporate it while keeping the "tombstone" for high speed stability. Now I'm glad.
No offense to those who have gone this route, but the photo showing the 2 side by side in the closed position actually flows better with the oem version to my eye. Would never have thought this until the side-by-side comparison. The 986 has a pretty classic rear end, with nice lines, reminding me of some of the classic automotive beauties of all time. (Think Jaguar). Anyway, I'm now not so sure that a$$ needs a bustle...

With PartWeave's wing redesign it could have been a high speed fighter instead of a trainer. lol

As a private pilot, I think I recognize that plane from the Kingston, ON (CYGK) airport.

OI think I watched a documentary on that way back......rescuing the Harvard that is
