Any spoiler added to a Boxster will someday be removed. This is because the car's shape doesn't invite additions. When you add something on top of a gracious curve it's like a wart begging to be seen. Good design never forgets the whole picture and controls what takes center stage and what takes a back seat. To the uneducated eye, shall we say, within the realm of the mundane, the latest addition always looks swell. Enduring beauty doesn't have 'additions', think Jaguar E-type, Porsche 904, 901/911, 928, Ferrari 599, Chrysler 1934 Airflow etc.. These cars were complete when they left the factory and were designed by real pro's. On the 986 notice how the body curves under all the way around the car. It's details like this that make a car what it is. So before glueing a piece of plastic or fiberglass on take a step back and imagine it's affect on the 'whole'.
Of course, you may now proceed doing what you were going to do...:ah:
