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.

To each his own, I suppose...

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 http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1467160434.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1467160450.jpg http://986forum.com/forums/uploads02...1467160484.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.
|
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. |
I think the duck is perfect. Where did you get that?
|
I am in the process of making the mold and producing them.
|
First, kudos for doing this! Great job.
I like them both. The duck tail is the right size IMHO. |
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 |
Looks great as it is!
|
Are you making front splitters and are they for sale?
|
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.

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

I like it! Let me know when the spoiler will be available

Spoiler.....you talking front or rear duck tail. The front spoiler/splitter is ready to go now.
|
Duck, put me down for one too when ready.
|
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? |
