986 Spoiler
This is the first one out the mold. 
I will fit it to the car as soon as I can and take some better photos.
This next one is a bit foggy, think I had camera on wrong setting.
I am quite pleased. Its my first ever attempt at fibre glass moulds.

Sweet!! One quick question, is the body hollow anywhere? If I go that way I'll then need to round off the corner using a laser cutter or doing them by hand before painting. We have this thing here that requires a min. 25mm radius on every single parts the vehicle is equipped with. Called "pedestrian safe" or something like that, forgot.
Looks great, very subtle. In my case that spoiler is rarely going to see the "up" position. Max speed here/city is 80Km/hrs lolll. Just got to look good you know
Thx for posting up pics. I'd trade your summer any day btw. 38+ degree with clear blue sky daily here.... just can't touch the 20 y/old Boxster in these conditions :/

Thanks for your comments. It is hollow, very light. I am thinking of putting a radius in the mould.

Wow thats over a 100 in old money. How's the humidity?
I am going to put a radius on the same as the rear light corner.

In my opinion the rounded corner version looks much better. Nice work . Strange we've gone from 1997 to three months ago with no one making these. Then within the past two months we have two forum members making them. Good luck to both of you selling them .

If anything you may need to make the radius a little more pronounced. The Boxster has a beautiful round form and the spoiler in my opinion should continue that shape .

All these spoilers look great - but I do like the shape of the 2016 Spyders spoiler - the ends seem to blend into the body/lights really nice.

Like the radius. Like the overall design, but the sides Really need to follow the trunk line where it meets the tail light. Otherwise it doesn't look right from the rear or from above, especially when in the down position.
Correct this, and the allure may overwhelm my financial restraint.

I concur. In your photo that looks down the trunk gap towards the spoiler, your design would present a cleaner, more consistent look if the top rear corners of the spoiler aligned with the trunk line and just inside the gap between the trunk and rear quarter-panel; so, when looking from behind the car, the spoiler does not block the view of the trunk lines/gap and serves to augment the beauty of the original design rather than obscure it.
Based upon the photos, your product appears to match OEM quality.
Would be cool to see a YT video walk around that includes a profile shot of entire car as you raise and lower the spoiler.
Great job thus far!
If you get the design and price right, your spoiler may significantly raise your income.
~With Respect
