Since you're located in Texas, I would see if Mission Control in Houston might be interested in the wing ?

No doubt the wing is horrid. It doesn't belong on any car, race-car or not. With that said I find you comments extremely rude especially since you own a riced out Boxster as well. Forgive me if I've confused you with someone else but I remember seeing a not so pretty multi-vented yellow Boxster. :ah:

Misled Boxster
This is what happens when a nice Boxster ends up in the wrong hands...! just no taste and no clue on what to do.... what a waste to ruin such a nice thing !
oh well....

The glass is half full
Those wheels look nice, and the deck lids may well be lighter-than-stock carbon fiber, and in any event they can be repainted. Most of us like the sound of our engines, right up to the point of wake-the-neighbor's kids Harley Davidson anti-socialism. :troll:  The spoiler is a bit much visually, but hey, downforce is good, right. And since the heavier stock self-retracting spoiler is probably already gone, he is ready to install a classy replacement in his car before painting the lid. And meanwhile, he has a ********************in fun ride! More so than just about any other brand,Porsche owners seem to want to put their own personal mark on the cars, even when brand new. It is just that there is some unwritten code to try to stay within the spirit of the cars creation. So everyone, stop acting so jealous that this car has a head start on your efforts. Each of us secretly knows that own personal car's option mix is the best,anyway!

Pal, the only thing that's rice around here, is what's between your ears ! You obviously can't discern the difference between a well "tuned" boxster that represents a culmination of top German products and equipment from your Mormon Tabernacle special .

You would think older men would have a more refined taste. I bet you love when little kids come up to you and tell you how cool your yellow Cockster looks, Pal. "Danger, is this a trasnformers car?" Getting offended only showed us your insecurity with the only Boxster version of the Bubble-Bee.
You're personality is hideous. Thanks for calling me Asian and Mormon, you're one massive racist. There is no point in telling you I'm neither of those. :troll:
That's all.

Gee, does this mean that I've been crossed off your Christmas card list ? By the way, little kids almost never ask me about my boxster, or cockster as you put it (nice filth by the way). In fact, the types of people that typically approach me about my vehicle are enthusiasts who seem to have an eye for tastefully modified Porsches. As far as any insecurity is concerned, please take care in knowing that I'm very secure at all times. In fact, I never go anywhere without "packing heat". And, golly, I don't think that I'm the slightest bit hideous . In fact, I think that I look rather "randy" in my leather jumpsuit . As far as any racial or religious epithets are concerned, you've taken my quips way out of context . I have nothing against Mormons or Asians . Indeed, my 4th wife was Japanese and we often enjoyed listening to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir together .

You're too weird to argue with. I feel like I'm talking to Johnny Depp from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.
You win Danger, you WIN.

At least give me the status of Gene Wilder - would yah !
On a serious note, I merely made a sarcastic remark about the op's wing along with several others that was meant to be funny . Why you chose to single me out with an attack seems strange to say the least. Regardless, your poor behavior gives a bad impression of the site; especially to a new member who isn't privy to some of the personalities and candor that goes on here . Enough said .

Thanks guys for the input. I think. Some of it was a little harsh. The pics don't show the detail in the wing and the front and back lids. They are not "horrid". They are very nicely done carbon fiber vinyl design. Still, it's not the type of Porsche that I want to drive. I may very well keep the vinyl carbon fiber on the lids because it helps contrast the prominent purple that the car throws off in certain light. But, it will probably have to go anyway. I do think I will get rid of the white sticker on the front of the car. I had the exhaust fixed yesterday. They could not put the two factory side pipes (converters ??) back on because the angle of the new headers. So, I will have those to sell. They were able to reinstall the factory muffler. It sounds nice.
I would like to take the wing off and replace it with a smaller, less "Fast and Furious" spoiler and the Boxster emblem. The problem at this point is the drill holes that will be left behind. Not a big deal, I know. Just fix it. A few things at a time though. I bought the car on Friday. I have already repaired the radio, the drivers seat and the exhaust.
For reference - This is a '99. I live in East Texas between Dallas and Texarkana. I am in a small town where there is no Porsche parts, mechanics, experts, or really anyone who has an opinion on what a "real" Porsche should look or sound like. I could leave this thing alone and be invited to participate in every parade that we have. LOL
I am new to Porsche and new to the whole forum thing as well.
Thank you all for your patients and input.

I know exactly how you feel haha. Live in a small, small town where only 10 porsches exist in a population of 65,000. Perhaps if you ever come down near Arlington sometime we can chat.
