Anyone have this rear spoiler?

I have one, but it wasn't from those guys. I would swear it is from RUF. I got it from one of the big mail order places, like Tweeks or something. I know...the useful information I'm giving you sucks. My point is that there are decent versions out there. If you like the style, look for the same spoiler from a reputable company.

Ok back to topic now....

I have a artic silver one of those left over from my 986. If you need a silver one, i would sell it for $100 shipped to your door.

That's a steal!

Oh, thanks, Unkle!

I would buy a spoiler like that (maybe from P-DUB). They look good.
But I have stuck with the regular spoiler, because you can put a spoiler sticker on it. The spoiler stickers are just really cool looking.
Just my $0.02!

Looking for more input on this. Spent a good deal of time looking around this morning for someone else selling this style spoiler. TechArt, Tweeks, Ruf... tried them all and more. Not seeing much else in this style. Anyone else know of another manufacturer of this piece? Just looking at all my options.

I do not know about different manufactures, but I have seen different prices.
Try google products. There are multiple small internet stores, with better prices than the mainstream websites. I have seen that spoiler before for, I think it was selling for $160, but I do not remember where.
Good Luck with the Hunt!

Those spoilers have been a common item on eBay.

Here's the carbon fiber version for $329:

Here's the unpainted fiberglass version for $189:

I also have seen posts about the poor quality of these spoilers. One guy did report that his was cracked at the mounting points and then went missing (blew off) one day after a drive. Don't be fooled into thinking that the carbon fiber will be any stronger. The truth is that the manufacturers will cut corners to save costs on carbon fiber parts like this. It won't be 100% carbon fiber. It will be fiberglass, just like the regular product, with the very top layer done in carbon fiber. Just as with the fiberglass it will be fragile. I think the key is really mounting it properly. You'd have to be VERY careful not to overtighten the mounting bolts and use locktite to hold it there, like j.fro did. I'd check the bolts regularly too to make sure the don't vibrate off/loose. If you do that, then there shouldn't be a problem...

I'm strongly considering the carbon fiber version as I have a carbon fiber hood and also want to get Kokeln carbon fiber side vents (this is on an arctic silver car). Does anyone know if they make a carbon fiber spoiler in another style, besides the fat Porsche aero kit style? I prefer the style spoiler in this photo but have never seen it in carbon fiber:

I searched eBay and didn't find anything like this. My keywords were "boxster" "rear spoiler". Weird. Thanks for the link.
