Plate - cool. Spoiler up all the time - not so cool. Just my opinion, do what ever you like.
If you like something to make the rear look more sporty, maybe consider something like this:

That's cool, which body kit is that, and do they have one for a 2009?

Here is the link to the wing. From there, search the website or contact them about the rest of the body kit.

Spoiler up is definitely not classy. You can put it up when you park, but when you're driving... it doesn't even look that great!
As to the license plate... We drive Boxsters, not 911s. And as much as we love our cars, advertising "Hey I'm in a Porsche!" just seems a bit much to me.

No, no, no, - those side pieces, they're called skirts!
When I read that back and realized that it could be also taken that way I just about pissed myself laughing! You are indeed a breath of fresh air - my kind of dry sense of humor. I'm gonna have to watch what I say from now on.

Gotta go with the No-s on the plate. Clever vanity plates (IXLR8 and the like) are fine; plates that essentially say, "You may not realize it, but this fine car I have is a XXXXXX" tend to produce animus in the rest of the world, which already hates you for having a Porsche for the most part. Let the car do its talking. No need to splash advertising on it.
Cheers!

Plate
In the Uk the olate would have cost megabucks, someone is selling PORSCHE for $10 grand here. I changed the s to a 5 and $450 bucks so it was a win to me. I quite like it but everyone is entitled to their own opinion!, ps BOXSTER was gone!
