I am going to fast forward aprox. two weeks from now . We all have received our spoilers and moving to the next phase. We have " test fit " our spoilers and found out Joe did a great job and they fit great . So now we have to get them painted. Some ( like me ) will do this themselves. So we order online or from local FLAPS the adhesion promoter, primer , paint and clear coat. What sandpaper grits do we use ? I'm thinking maybe 220 to start to knock down the sheen of the gelcoat then move to 800 and finish with maybe 1200 ? Clean the spoiler then hit it with adhesion promoter. Do you sand the promoter ? Then hit with two to three light coats of primer ? Sand and then 3 - 4 coats of color and several coats of clear ? Wet sand the clear and we are done ?

Got back from my 2037 KM road trip last night, a day later than planned. The first 1645 was absolute blast. I did a similar drive last year in my 2010 Cayman S and have to say this car is much more fun to drive. Although it doesn't have the power of the Cayman tossing the Boxster around on the twisty roads is great fun and so easy. The last 392 KM was not expected and took me 24 hours on the back of a tow truck. The water pump came apart and got the car home on the back of a flat tow.

I did not tape the ducktail down for the trip to see what would happen. I can report it is still there solid as when I put it on. Did it make a difference? Haven't a clue. This was my first long drive with the car and have no reference point as I never drove it without the splitter and ducktail. It's a base Boxster with mediocre tires but stuck to the raod like you know what to a blanket. The car feels very neutral, rotates well through the corners and some mild throttle steer. I think at some point I will take the splitter and ducktail off to get a comparison.

I'm back to work on the ductail today. Have a great day everyone.

Picture of the water pump pulley.
