Question about rear spoiler
I have a 99 boxster with Aero kit 1, my car did not came with the "infamous" speed sensitive spoiler. Just wanted to know which year did this machanical raising spoiler came as stardard for all Boxsters? Have anyone installed one on their own? Is there a retro-fit kit for non-equipped cars?

As far as I know, it came on all years. Maybe because yours has the aerokit it was either removed or disabled...

When people risk their lives, shouldn't it be for something very important?
Well, it better be.
But what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?
Lots of people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well.
When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.

oh man that sucks!!! I rather have that then the aero kit spoiler..... If was to do this mod, I think I would need a different rear trunk lid, rear bumper plus the machanics of the spoiler to get what I am suppose to have. geez...

What about the third break light? I have seen most of them located on the hatch where the roof tucks in? Mine is located on the spoiler....

Yeah, this is how your rear should look...

For the price it would cost to convert it back, I would just live with it and be happy that it is unique.
