While we're doing semi-naked tail shots:
You can see the lip that I had to bend up to create airflow. I do put the rear aluminum bumper back on, just in case. I have no quantitative data, but I believe that my spoiler configuration creates a low pressure area that helps pull air/heat through the vents in the bumper cover. The back end of the car certainly gets dirty quickly!

I think you have created a parachute with a slow vent at top and a huge back draft- none of which you want. It won't take effect until around 60 mph though. Be careful cornering at the limit above that.

Boy that sure changes the back end. Can I ask again where can you get those LED taillights? Thanks for the pics.

I figure that Porsche must have considered the design of the rear bumper and found any alterations unnecessary - modern cars have to be designed with max mpg in mind so if there were any 'parachute' effects from the rear, they would have addressed them.
At speed I expect the air just flows by - kind of like an upside down pick up - where it is much better to leave the tailgate up!
