Can't see the nameplate with spoiler up. Looks like a Porsche Thingo....

Truth. IMHO, the plate is kind of douchey...it just seems like its trying too hard.

You're not driving around with the spoiler up all the time are you?

Well it looks much better than the standard plate and I bought it for resell value. Yeah I keep the spoiler up, why?

Your asking me why? So assume we both know it serves no function below highway speeds. Do you think it looks cool to drive around town with the spoiler extended?

It's all about personal taste. You asked for opinions. I don't care for vanity plates unless they're really clever. I also think that form should follow function which is why it seems odd to drive around with the spoiler hanging out when it was clearly designed for function only. The car has beautiful lines, Porsche likely made the spoiler retractable for that reason.

What matters is that you like your vanity plate and your always erected spoiler. Have fun with it! Didn't mean to offend.

I actually thought this was going to be one of 'THOSE' forums. I see alot of people on here with the additional spoilers and they serve no purpose.
The plate sets it a bit different from the others although there is not that many about in oz to be fair.
