Thanks!

It was either red or metallic silver, I am glad I went with the red. It turned out a lot better than I thought it would!

Never forget the cop whose pulling you over to possibly write you a speeding ticket will read whatever you put on the spoiler. It goes up at 70 but doesn't come down until you drop below 50.

Put something like "catch me if you can" on it and well, you're not getting a verbal warning from that cop, that's for sure!

I'm in the same boat with any cop who knows a little German... but I've yet to get stopped for speeding, thanks to my trusty V1.
Well, sometimes you get lucky. I got of with warning with this:

rick3000, that looks really good in red, better than I'd pictured.


As far as getting pulled over, nothing can be worse than when people put stickers about smoking pot on their car. I mean, why don't you just put "Hello, Officer, I'm stoned" on your bumper.

life is good!

my spoiler has a "life is good" sticker on it with the smiling man face. I figured at 70 or above, these cars really come to life and it is good indeed to be behind the wheel. My brother almost peed his pants when i lifted it in the parking lot to show him. a few minutes later he was driving it for the first time and could not stop giggling.
life is good in a boxster...

I need to get one that says, "My Other Car is a Boxer."

That should confuse some people.

'Warp Speed" would be a good sticker too.

I probably wouldn't do it, but I'm half tempted...

"PhD in Traffic Survival" or possibly,

"F.O.P. - Platinum Member"

I've often seen the window decals and wondered if law enforcement would cut you a break.

Mine has a "tatoo". Some of you might recognize the design.

Cheers, Gord.

I had one on my BRG Healey 3000 that was green background and white lettering that said: "ROAD RAGE-NEXT TEN MILES". I mounted the sticker on a sheet of that magnetic flexible material you can find in a craft store. It stuck well to the Healey's trunk and I could remove it and switch it out with another one of my choosing. I think I will try to find another road rage bumper sticker... Is the black panel plastic?

Being a newbe I hadn't even thought about a spoiler decal. I think I have found a place for my Iowa State University decal!
