Boxster Aero Kit....W.I.P.

[Thumper]

I'm fine with extending the group buy a few more days. :-)

[rfuerst911sc]

Joe I will just speak for myself your offer is very generous and I appreciate the additional savings. I have money in my Paypal account ready to go so when they are ready I'm good to go. I am hopeful the new lower priced group buy will get some guys or gals off their wallets !
So when the end user receives their ducktail to prepare it for paint do we only have to sand/clean then hit it with primer then paint/clear coat ? And for mounting use the OEM style rivets AND some two sided tape ? The OEM spoiler " cap " is removed and then this goes in its place correct ? My Boxster S GT3 wanna be is chomping at the bit for this ducktail to be added. Once again thank you for doing these !!!

HAHA you wish !!! Heading to Jakes in the August/September time frame for some dyno tuning to see what the beast can do. We are " guessing " she will be in the 300 hp at the rear wheels neighborhood . I need this ducktail to keep the rear planted at speed

[rfuerst911sc]

Joe are you thinking that two sided tape should be used in addition to the screws/rivets ? Or should a product like an adhesive caulk be used ? I can't see in my case having to take it off but I guess would like to be able to if need be. But obviously don't want it to come off on its own either .

Pretty sure Joe will tell you to use anything which is both water & heat resistant. Sealant, tapes, whatever. Should do well. Not that this thing see daily 500kg of pressure or anything, although in your case I could be wrong lolll

Like I said before, be careful of (some) of the 3M products. Some of their adhesive are chemically activated (true bonding) and often only applicable for industrial use. If not removed before 72hrs you can kiss it goodbye, it's permanent. Just keep this in mind!

Ducktail group buy list:
To sign up copy and paste the latest list and add your name at the bottom
for clarification these are for Boxster up to 2002, 03 and newer are different

1 - NJBoxster2000
2 - rfuerst911sc
3 - Turn3 Autosport
4 - Van914
5 - Edreamsz
6 - Thumper

Here's the updated list. Five more to sign up and the price drops to $306.

My plan for the install is the factory plastic pins and a strip of two sided tape along the back edge between the ducktail and the mountng bracket/plate. With the extra size of this piece there will be some buffeting and I'm not sure the three pins would hold it steady. Haven't been able to road test as my car is still in the shop.

The parts will be shiny black gel coat, ready to use as is or a light sanding to prepare for paint. Yes the OEM cap is removed and this piece installs in its place.

Price on the intake scoops yet?

[rfuerst911sc]

I'll ask now rather than later as I'm sure others might be wondering how do you remove the OEM spoiler top cap ? How do you pop out the rivets ? Is there foam or adhesive that you have to break the bond of ?

There are a lot of online tutorials on removing the spoiler lip (which is required when removing the rear bumper.) Basically you need to remove the three expanding trim plugs. This requires driving out the pin in the center of each plug till it falls into the center channel. Then the plugs can be pried out. To retrieve the plugs you will need to remove the spoiler by removing the two long bolts that are exposed when you remove the lip. Then squeeze the tabs on the black plastic cover on one side of the spoiler so that you can remove it and tilt the spoiler till the plugs fall out. Putting the lip back on is the opposite. Seat the trim fasteners (being careful to squeeze the three arms so they all go back in the hole, then push the plug back into the hole and tap it gently till it is flush with the plastic fastener.)

very easy to pop plastic rivets. you push the middle out with a pick then pry out.

[steved0x]

Very easy to remove the spoiler top cap and the the spoiler itself. I wish I would have removed it she I put on my Boxster S spoiler sticker. For some reason (I think the rivets) I thought it was going to be very difficult but it was not.

[morgal48]

Remember to align the spoiler cap correctly during re-install. There's not much clearance on either end. The whole process is much easier than it sounds.
