Count me in too!! However, I agree with some of the other posters about if you could round out the sides to conform with the shape of the rear and taillights. That would look phenomenal but I understand it would require some more work.

Could you also post a full shot of the rear from a distance when done.

Cool 986 Spoiler

Hello everybody

I will try to make up a small section with the rounded over ends to see what you think. Before I do anything to my yellow pattern. On a personal note I like it as it is, I thought of rounding over the ends but thought it would not look right, as I wont be able to follow the thin edge round to the base. Anyway I will fix a small section on the car and see.

Looks better. The only suggestion I would offer, and I'm not sure how easy it would be to execute or whether or not everyone here agrees with me, but I would like to see it blended into the taillight better. If you look at the 981 there is no height discrepancy between the spoiler and the taillight where they meet. Yours looks like it sticks up about an inch or so. Other than that I like it. Also, for the sake of continuity, maybe make it more closely follow the angle of the trunk seam when viewed from the top? (5th pic in your last post)
