I must admit I like the look. I just want to know that it has been tested and approved for my car before I start horsing around with my aerodynamics. I trust RUF to do it right. "Jimmy's Wings N Things ebay store"... not so much.

I guess I just don't want to be this guy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wn4hg5kD66g

One more pass in the wind tunnel might have been worthwhile don't you think?

Sorry Jim99' but my weakness for cheap things that look cool is getting the best of me!! I think I'll get this afterall, Hehe... I'll let ya'll know if it flies off next time I'm pushing 100. Probably next paycheck! :D

When you get it let us know what you think. Ultimately that is what this board is best for... put out an idea, let others weigh in, make your decision after washing it through here. Surely we won't always be in agreement. What is the point of discussion if we are just kissing each others hindsides? For now I'll save my paycheck for tires.

Who is Jim99??

Jim99' is MNBoxster's signature. Hehe...

Reply from the EBay guy...
 

This is what I asked him.

Have you had any issues about cracking or coming apart at the base where the wing mounts to the two arms? This was brought up in my porsche forum and I was warned not to buy this, but the price is right so I thought I'd ask. Also does it come with instructions? And do you have the color lapis blue that my 2001 boxster comes in?

Here's his reply. Sounds too good to be true eh? $275 for a painted/supposedly non-problematic spoiler. Hmmm...

No more problems, we had this issue corrected 3 Months ago, Install Kit comes with Easy instructions, and special allen Wrench.

I do have Lapis Blue Available.

I also just had the Same Wing done in real CARBON FIBER, see my other ads. Boxster Wing Carbon Fiber

If it's any consolation, I've dealt with Omar on some other parts. His parts are good and his paint work is excellent. If he says he solved the problem, he probably has.

I wouldn't worry about the aerodynamics.

If it's good enough for the Caymen S, it's good enough for me:

I'm doin it!
 

I'm ordering it right now!!! :cheers:

The Cayman has aaerodynamics going on with its roof line and rear end mini-ducktail as seen with the spoiler up.

Comparing a boxster to a Cayman aerodynamically is not an apples to apples comparison just because the platforms are similar and one is a hardtop and the other a convertible.

go for it, dude! you have our blessings...hehehehehehe!

are you at work, bro?

@kraken

ya i'm at work. Hey did you see my other post? Also, how do find out exactly what my color is so i can order the spoiler? Is it lapis, or midnight or ocean blue? its an 01' box.

dude, not sure where to look for but i think it's in the front trunk, underneath the carpet or trunk...there should be a paint code

Group Buy???

Well someone from my forum TOTALLY vouched for you about your product and service. So I'll be ordering this item in lapis blue for my 01' Boxster next week. Should I go back to eBay? Is there a group buy in case I convince my forum members to join?

I realize that. I'm just saying that for average street driving they can be considered similar (note, not the same, but similar) air flow wise. It's not going to throw off the balance of the entire car to the point where it's unsafe or hard to drive as it might swapping in a...oh, I don't know, STI wing. Granted, that's still far fetched, but you get what I'm saying.

Well aerodynamics - shmareodynamics... I think it looks cool as heck! Hehe... Thanks for the input though. I just hope it doesn't fall off! Ordered it today, I'll post pics after it's in and up and let ya'll know if it stays on! :D

Well I got the spolier- here it is installed.
 

2002 S, Ordered from Omar off of Ebay. Installed in 15 mins

awesome, looks great! Please keep us posted on how it holds up!

I just ordered mine too from Omar. How's everything with the wing? How long did it take you to recieve it? 15 minutes eh? Sounds great. Can't wait. HOPE IT DOESN'T FALL OFF! (mine AND yours) :cheers:

Which version did you buy,the fiberglass or carbon fiber?

@ jhandy,

sweet ride! Who painted your bumperettes?
