I think your car looks great and clean absent the spoiler/wing.

I'm not a fan of all that hardware holding it to the trunk lid. To my eyes it looks rather clunky. If it was a solid, one-piece spoiler/wing it would look so clean. And red... definately paint that red if you're going to leave it on.

That said... I must say that your car, especially in red... looks very sophistcated. Clean. Polished.

Cheers!

Time to sell and get a GT4. It seems that's the look your going towards.

I'm with the the earlier thought that wings are for high speed, otherwise it's really just show. I'm also old and old school. I do think that front bumper is the bomb. I like that. The 986 needs something chin spoilerish.

Does your stock spoiler still work?
I can feel that one actually work at 75 mph. When I have a full tank of gas on the hwy, as soon as I hit 75, I can feel the car is a bit more planted.

Your car, your hard work, enjoy it any way you want

It's for looks. I've probably only gone fast enough to make the stock one go up maybe twice since I've owned it. 😉

In the end its mounted where it can be. Had to avoid curves and bulges in hatch. Had to find a flat area for both legs. Now to get it painted.
