Boxster Aero Kit....W.I.P.
 
I've had the 986 for three weeks and the splitter for my aero package is complete. Next up is a redesign and tooling of my 987 side skirts. Then start on the back end with a diffuser. At some point I'm going to hang some parachutes off the side of the car and call them intake scoops. I'm also thinking about doing something for the rear spoiler, it seems like it needs to grow a bit more than what is there currently. "Go big or go home"....LOL.

Here is a picture of my 987 side skirts I have to retool to fit properly.

To each his own, I suppose...

Joe toth 06-28-2016 04:35 PM

Decided to forgo the side skirts for a while and work on the back of the car as the next piece....sort of a front to rear balance.
Working on a duck tail for the Boxster. Here are a few pictures of what I have come up with thus far. Input as to size and shape would be welcome.
Thankshttp://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1467160415.jpg

In my opinion the ducktail should be half the height you have in the pics. I will speak for myself I have wanted a ducktail to mount onto the OEM spoiler but I want something smaller so it looks good in the down or up position.

Joe toth 06-28-2016 04:52 PM

Vertically it is 3-1/4" and horizontal is 6". Are you thinking shorten both dimensions? It is/will mount as per the factory part.
Thank you for the input.

DWBOX2000 06-28-2016 07:07 PM

I think the duck is perfect. Where did you get that?

Joe toth 06-28-2016 07:20 PM

I am in the process of making the mold and producing them.

thstone 06-28-2016 07:29 PM

First, kudos for doing this! Great job.

I like them both. The duck tail is the right size IMHO.

Nine8Six 06-28-2016 11:57 PM

Its actually quite nice what you did. When you look at it from the side those are certainly the best flow curves I've seen for a Boxster spoiler. Nice work/skills man

Wish I'd be at least half-able to do these sort of things, not all that easy to do

Van914 06-29-2016 02:12 AM

Looks great as it is!

Deadeye 06-29-2016 08:56 AM

Are you making front splitters and are they for sale?

Joe toth 06-29-2016 09:32 AM

deadeye, yes sir i am making the splitters and are for sale. First pictures in the thread is my splitter I did white on my car but they are produced in black gel coat/fiberglass. Take a look at my facebook page "Joe Toth Composites" for more pictures and some of the other stuff I do.

Thank you for the input.

Can you snap a few different angle pics with the spoiler raised ? To my eye you did very good with the shape but it looks too tall to me..........maybe I'm wrong .

Joe toth 06-29-2016 04:47 PM

I will take some pictures tomorrow and post. There are a couple of people who like it as is but I am leaning towards cutting it down. It didn't look as big on the bench while I was forming it. More than likely I will end up with two different sizes and two molds.

Joe toth 06-30-2016 10:19 AM

Here are a few more pictures of the duck tail raised....hope this helps.http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1467310683.jpg

+1 Count me in for one.

Joe toth 06-30-2016 11:17 AM

Spoiler.....you talking front or rear duck tail. The front spoiler/splitter is ready to go now.

DWBOX2000 06-30-2016 12:14 PM

Duck, put me down for one too when ready.

Yellow986S 06-30-2016 12:23 PM

I love the rear ducktail. However, I would appreciate it if you could make a second mold that is about half the size of the current ducktail in height and have the sides blend with it.

Should look perfect and then you can count me in to buy one.

Could you also do it in carbon fiber or carbon fiber overlay?
