I'm not one for radical rear spoilers . Especially on a vehicle that puts out less than 300 hp. Rather incongruous to the boxster if you ask me. I believe that the Cayman that's pictured in this thread has a turbo system installed.

I see your point but don't believe a spoiler indicates HP or anything other than a physical accoutrement. The bum on the Boxster sometimes looks barren to me and great at others. I'm seeking to view all possible options out there and most don't look so great unless mounted on the rear of a car. I too would never put a "wing" or other overly large tail on the back of the fine auto of which we speak. But even a peacock benefits at times from wonderful tail feathers.

AS OP said, PLEASE POST MAKE AND MODEL!

I think that the one that Danger posted is exactly what I am looking for. What does it look like deployed? I don't like the ones that I have seen that look like Danger's when down, but when deployed look like a wing on two long bolts...

I'm not familiar with Pedro's spoiler. However, as far as the one on my vehicle is concerned, like most aftermarket FRP products, it required some tweaking and reshaping in order to get a perfect fit .

Here's my aerokit 2 knockoff in carbon fiber. It is manufactured by Carbon Creations and goes for about 6-700 bucks I think. I got it from a fellow member on the cheap. Was very nerve racking drilling into the factory bonnet...

That's very similar to what I'm thinking of having done. Did you do it or was it on the car when you purchased it? If you did it, what handling changes, if any, did you notice. Also, what is the weight of that wing? Thanks.

Where did you get those humps over the soft top?

I'm updating the look on my bucket of bolts. 997 Turbo look wheels and the 'PORSCHE" decals along the doors.
I will probably do satin black wrap on the car after some bodywork/PDR.
My buddy is in to help. Voila new car.

Agreed, where's the best source for a spoiler like that?
