It will fit if I can cut it without breaking it.

JB, that rear is looking great. The spoiler add-on is going to look great. Be sure to author a DIY.

I think it would look great absent the adition of the acent stripe. Unless...

You could fashion a thin and narrow low-level LED strip accross the add-on, to align with the brake lights... maybe so the strip illuminates at the same level as the aftermarket tail lights. PW could help you with that...

I mean... it appears you're going big.

If there is enough interest you could fab a bunch of those and have Daniel Andrew sell them for $576.94 each.

the original pic looks like two black slats - can you paint behind/between the slats body colour?

I expected it to be several slats with gray tones in between with the Porsche logo over the slats. Doesn't match the pic or it does and I saw what I wanted to see.
I may look into the paint idea.

Its a gamble. The least expensive Porsche lettering on ebay at the time was $85. This was $116. If it works it will be cool looking but it may not. I've got to figure out the transition from molding to spoiler on the ends. 🤷

Looks good, but the back of the ducktail spoiler needs to be painted black.

Did you get this to work?

I had the same idea and was searching to see if anyone has done the 718 filler piece.
