Actually, nobody asked for your opinion, you just assumed that. The thread title is "Rear spoiler ideas". You know, actual ideas? Not just the same old dudes posting the same lame-ass opinions and idiotic pictures.
I'm an old dude, maybe a couple years older than Timco. I wasn't personally offended when the OP said that the back of my Boxsters are ugly:

I was amused that he didn't like most of the modified ones either:

No offense if that car is anyone here, just not my taste at all.
Early on it was easy to see this would be a good thread to watch. A good mix of the absurd and practicality with a sprinkle of narcissistic outrage.

Clearly there is an opening for a well engineered, light weight, and good looking mod for the back end of the 986s. Maybe some day Nine8six will get that DIY thread going?

I won't lie, it came to mind. Some here had excellent ideas by pointing out the fact that someone should make use of the existing mechanism for a revolutionary spoiler system for both the Boxsters and Cayman. Something retractable that when deployed... it unfold itself a-la-panamera spoiler. Might be a bit "Transformer-age" dunno but digging the idea anyway. Carbon fiber, aluminum mechanism, TI gears/pivots....

Room for something cool indeed. I'll see if I can pull off a few sketches beg on 2015. Of course I'll check with you guys before and refine the idea using the forum community brains
