I still, even with these, would like to see some mounted wings/spoilers. Many vendors have one photo of theirs but no photos from other angles. I like the new Cayman fixed wing but I know there are others out there. Okay, so, show me your 6 (tail).

How do you mean that's a stick on? Don't you have to remove the stock spoiler to install this with bolts?

I don't think so. If you look, it appears there is a seam at the bottom of the spoiler where it should meet the trunk lid, and to me this looks very much like the painted lip of the orignal spoiler, covered by the "stuck on" raised spoiler. I don't know that I'd trust whatever has bonded it on there to getting battered by potential triple digit mph air when the spoiler is raised...but it does look pretty clean lowered.

robinp, can you give us a picture of it raised? I'm curious to see how that looks.

Dang...that actually looks pretty good, doesn't look like it doesn't belong, and actually keeps your original spoiler with the plastic that's actually providing the downforce.

Where'd you pick this "stick-on" spoiler up? All I seem to find are the type meant to replace the spoiler instead of apply on top of the original.

I see. How is it held on? Just with something like 3M double-sided tape?

I guess I never finished this thread. I started it to help me decide what spoiler or tail to install. Here's what was decided in the end.

Do like the pros and go with a GT3 style bumper with a splitter and canards. Not the look good kind but the racing kind like this...

front bumper

I finally got around to installing my tail from my factory Aero II kit and figured that I'd jump into this thread. The biggest pain in the neck is routing the wires for the 3rd brake light.




I'm pretty much completed with the car except for the rims. (I still think that the car looks goofy with the stock 17's!) But good news... I just received an update that they've finished the machining process and are now in the finishing stage then onto assembly. Hopefully I'll have them as soon as next week!

That's why I opted for the non-lit version. I didn't want to tap into any wiring.

The nice thing about the factory kit is that there is no tapping or splicing. All cables have connectors and grommets for a nice factory finish. The hardest part was fishing the wire through the deck lid support ribbing. It was a pain but is well worth it.
