986 Gen 2 rear spoiler (ducktail) and front splitter
Hi guys, a friend of mine wants to give me his '03 Boxster next week while he's on holidays. I'm seriously considering his offer to use the car to develop a rear spoiler and splitter for the second generation Boxster.
My question is..........Is there interest in these pieces?
They will look similar to the first generation versions with the only changes being how they follow the different body lines of the newer car.
Let me know your thoughts and feedback please.
Here's the current version.

Well, have a look at this. Joe is measuring up my '04 for his new spoiler design.

A couple more pictures of the ducktail. I had an epiphany today working out the mounting for this piece. Added a front which will cover the extruded aluminum bracket the spoiler attaches to. I have not been impressed by the look of that with the spoiler up. This looks more finished and all part of the spoiler. As an FYI this version is going to be much simpler to make than the gen 1 version. The bottom of the spoiler is much wider and I am able yo lay the part up in one solid part. Still have to attach a bottom mounting surface as I'm doing with the gen 1. My point, with the easier production process the selling price will be adjusted accordingly. It will end up being considerably less expensive than the gen 1 version.

Any updates on the Gen 2 Ducktail? I hope there is enough interest in this for you.

That looks spectacular! I like the thickness of it in the rear,even more so than my Cayman spoiler.

I really like this. I think it would look great painted to match the body color.
