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 .

You should check out this link. They have a variety of spoilers and wings for the 986. Their prices are reasonable, and the quality is decent . They also sell on eBay .

I got this exact same spoiler sitting in the garage if anyone is a taker. Make me an offer and I'll revert back with shipping cost... normally $30 to $40 International Priority Air Mail w/ tracking (less than 2 kilos).

Primed already and clean, ready to spray. If you are lazy you can pass on your porsche color code and I can get it sprayed and clearedx3 by a mate here.

All good fun only, no silly offer please!

edit: fiberglass

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?

If you've noticed, none of the aftermarket spoilers, especially the ones that are being offered by high end "tuners" incorporate the solid/flat section as the oem one does. I don't pretend to be an expert when it comes to aerodynamics, however, I suspect that there's a benefit to a spoiler that's designed to create downforce by allowing air to pass over, under and through it . Take for example the spoiler designs on Carrera GT, 997 GT 2 and 3 vehicles, not to mention most F1 cars . All of them follow a similar design principle .

I like that spoiler a lot is it the same as Pedro's in carbon? Is it a difficult install?

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...

DenverSteve · 09-18-2011, 04:35 PM

Thanks 968rgt, especially for the different angles.

Johnny Danger · 09-18-2011, 05:03 PM

Oooh, check it out ..... rear deck fins !!!

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.
