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.

I like my tail spoiler. Simple, understated; yet nice .

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...

You might like this one also. It's a Techart style stationary wing .

I'm not sure about this spoiler. I love the way it looks when it is down. I just wonder if the effectiveness of the spoiler is compromised because of the missing flat piece under the spoiler lip?

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 .

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.

Thue humps are the factory Speedster option. There are a couple places you can get them aftermarket, but you have to make sure you get all the hardware supplied with them or they will not secure properly.
I forget how much they were when I optioned them for the car from the factory, but I think the aftermarket ones selling on the net are around 600.

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