ahh i love that!
i also love the "bye" one! (im mostly german)

Hey Mark, thanks for the offer! when/if i decide what to put ill be contacting you!

haha, here's one that would be fitting for me: "Late for work"

maybe the cops would be more lenient? lol

also because of my age, i get a lot of "ah is that your dad's?"...
so a "yes it's mine" sticker would be funny too!

I find the spoiler so ugly when raised that the last thing I want to do is call attention to it with a message.

i kind of agree - it's a weird looking spoiler...i mean...I guess the Porsche engineers know what they are doing, and it's functional - but it does kind of look like a bizarre protrusion sticking up, rather than a pretty spoiler.

not to take this thread off topic - but is there a way to bypass the spoiler function and just stop it from going up? does it REALLY help at freeway speeds? i mean, if i were to shut it off = would I really notice any difference i handling? i'm no engineer - but it just doens't look like it does a whle lot...does it..or is it more of a gimmick..

to get somewhat back on topic - while I do agree that the spoiler looks a bit weird - i think with the right logo/sticker/emblem on the back of it - done nicely...it adds to the look and would make the car look better.

A great big PORSCHE sticker would look cool. no ne has posted a pic of it, but I found a pic elsewhere like that..it looked nice...the lettering was almost as big as the "MACH SCHNELL" sticker linked above...

how about making the spoiler retractable ONLY if you want it up and then put something on their like "KISS MY A$$" and then when somenoe is tailgating you you could hit that button and stick it up so they coudl read your "message".

a slightly upscale way to flip the bird! okay - i wouldn't really do that...but it would be funny..

what about "NO SUBSTITUTE" on the spoiler?!?!

I think if I were going to put a sticker there - I would do that. get it done in porsche lettering if possible - large stickers to fill up the whole thing.

"NO SUBSTITUTE"

I think most people have seen enough Porsche advertising/commercials to get that one - and it's true!

you can manually raise/lower the spoiler if you wanted to.
kinda a hassle reaching by the floor though...

was thinking bout those Cadillac commercials that say "When you turn your car on does it return the favor?"... well the answer is yes lol

couldn't fit all that on there though...

"rice burner"

"PORSH-uh"

I feel the difference when the spoiler deploys. I drove to Florida in January and the first 300 miles were on ice. As soon as I hit 75, I feel the ass end just get planted on the highway. Helped on the Ohio ice and the Florida rain.

I am still thinking the "Porsche". The only ID right now is the Boxster on the back end and emblem on the nose.... an it will help people know what just passed them.
