Installed the Toth ducktail/gen2 to my '02 Boxster. Perfect fit and very well made,,, the paint shop was impressed.

I'm getting thrown off by the 'Gen 2' reference. Would this fit a 2001 S?

The rear spoiler changed in '03. I have gen 1 for up to 2002 and gen 2 for 2003 and newer. Both look the same but the mounting is different.

Then mine is gen 1 since I have a 2002, but there is a newer design that has a larger painted section that covers the front of the flat black 'air dam' area. Either way, a great looking spoiler!

Have you done any windtunnel testing?
While you may prefer the look, you could be doing some serious damage to the aerodynamics and therefore the handling and safety of the car

A spoiler can create downforce. The famous Audi TT issue was too little downforce, actually negative downforce - lift - at high speed. The solution was a spoiler that increased the downforce and elimited the issue of losing the rear end in high speed corners.

Little stretch between parksville and qualicum beach there is a nice long straight stretch. Now that the speed limit is 120 most cops don't bother setting up radar there, so when there is no traffic it's nice to open her up.
