I've had one on my '02 S for two summers. Quality appears good; no cracks, waves, etc. Came pre-finished very nicely. I like how it looks on the car and so must Porsche since they put a similar spoiler on the SE.

I bought the one off of e-bay and had mine on for several months before it cracked at the base. If you do an earlier search you will find my post about it. Taked to the guy who sold it to me and he said that they have been re-inforced at the base so it should no longer happen. I opted for a fixed spoiler from the same seller. He replaced my broken one for free and I sent him back the broken one. You can even see my rear he used to sell the fixed spoiler on e-bay. Eagle Day also sells the exact same spoiler. If I ever buy the Zeintop hardtop I will want this type of spoiler in combo with the hardtop because the hardtop requires you to remove the rear trunk lid which would in turn remove my fixed spoiler. So to answer your question, yes! It is a good manufacturer of that spoiler and should be fine to buy from them. Like I said Eagle Day also sells the same spoiler. http://eagleday.stores.yahoo.net/boae.html

I've been looking for a spoiler like this. Thanks guys for sharing your input. I do have a question, how do I find out my factory color code for my model?

This the best color code chart I have found:

It maybe different depending on where you buy it, so if the store has there own color chart use there's to be safe. Most places let you give them your VIN so they check and make sure the color is correct.

Thanks a lot Rick, it looks like Iris blue metallic, but I will let the shop run the VIN just to make sure.

Your color code should be on the inside of your front hood. It's on that list that is a sticker when you look up.

I hate to bring up an old thread but how are these spoilers at speed? Are they actually keeping your rear on the ground? I've been thinking about getting one.
Thanks
Chris
