pw - check out the cayman wing from porsche mesh:

Rear wing for Porsche 987 Cayman & Boxster

something like this for the 986 would rock. or a ducktail - a ducktail would also rock.

Yep..these are the best looking out there. Looks like you would actually get down force out of it. tried to get these guys to give me a plan view pattern to see if they could be made to work on a 986...no luck. I was actual thinking of working off of the 986 spoiler metal frame or putting a 987 mechanism in to take the wing

I have always wondered about the loss of lift spoiling capability with removal of the stock blade.....also very reluctant to alter the stock lines unless the thing looks spot on

Currently they these are being produced

I have the same spoiler and people are always asking me where they can pick it up. I think the gaps and fit are fine. Here's a bunch of angles to check out.

Nice...that's what I'm talkin' about. I think these spoilers give a nice touch to a somewhat drab tail (IMHO). My car and my friends...both '02 BoxS...only 230~ serial numbers apart.

I likey, can't wait for mine to be delivered. Thanks guys. I couldn't agree more with both of you. Again I appreciate the photos. jmatta, the side by side really speaks volumes. I think the word "drab" is a good way of stating it.

dun no about you guys but I think it's a pretty cool advantage to have an inch (.5) gap in that area. Lots of heat built-up in the arse of that boxster car, no?

For some reason that Cayman spoiler looks like it should have been there since factory day 1
