Hello rfuerst911sc;

I am having to deal with illness but I should have photos on the forum in a week or so. I will put a few on so everyone can see it from different angles and the raised up position.

Hope you are feeling better soon.

I like that spoiler.

[koosh]

i could also be in for one! especially since you're in the UK!

Is that pic just for sizing / example? Will the actual piece take the place of the OEM painted part? If so I like it.

Hello alm001

The spoiler will take the place of the OEM capping piece. I should have some photos of it on the car by the weekend.

As promised a few photos of the spoiler on the car.

Is this an aerodynamic aide, or more of a cosmetic device intended to improve the looks of the car?

[Nine8Six]

Now that is brilliant and beautiful. Great workmanship skills... not easy to make but apparently doable. wow



ps... when are you going to express paint this? hurry, bet a lot of us here wants to see the final results

Hello Nine8Six;

Thanks for your positive comments. This is a pattern, I am going to make a mold from it so I can produce them.

Hello VGM911

I am not sure whether it will add to rear down force at speed, but from the comments I have had it is aesthetically pleasing to most.

Derfo nice pics it is exactly what i want. So now time for follow up questions. Aprox. When do you think parts will be available to purchase ? Will there be any import/export license issues ? Any idea what shipping might be to the u.s. ? How solid is the spoiler ? Any flex to it or is it solid ? You have done a great job with this congratulations.

Hello rfuerst911sc

The mold is the next step. I want to make it so there will be very little finishing to the spoiler before paint. I cant give a time as yet when it will be available. I have to make the mold then do the lay up for the spoiler and see how it comes out. The spoiler will be a fibre glass skin with foam centre.
I deal with couriers through my business so I will give details on shipping when I am ready to roll.

[rfuerst911sc]

Fiberglass with foam core shold be light and strong very nice. It looks like we have some customers on this side of the pond so hopefully you can have some fun and make some money. Just try to check in once in a while to update your progress. Thank you for taking this on .

[Dlirium]

I will add to the gushing love for this part :-)

Really came out nice. Probably time for you to start a "list" of those that want to get in line for one...

Tell us again about how you attached it? I see the 3 facing screws, but was there double sided tape on top of the stock spoiler as well?

Thanks for all your efforts!

Hello Dlirium;

Thanks for your positive comments. I will make a list at some point. The spoiler is attached with the original plastic rivets in the photos. Its important to retain an original fixing there so it doesn't look like an add on. In addition were the spoiler meets the top rail in the unseen area it could be bolted, fixed with compound or double taped as you mention. I did say in the early post that it would be bolted to the top rail.
The stock spoiler has lugs on one side of the rail, so it sort of hooks over and then the rivets are inserted. This would be very hard to replicate on a spoiler like this as there would have to be twist in it to get it on the rail. this spoiler will be too rigid to do that. I will put captive nuts in the spoiler for bolting, but in the end it would be up to each individual.

derfo I would like to suggest a group buy for 986 forum members. You would specify a group buy price and you would honor that price for a specific time frame. The price can be contingent on a minimum qty sold. We can pay you via credit card or paypal or payment of your choice. Just something to think about. If you were to venture on an educated guess when you will be ready would that be a month from now ? Or 3 months or 6 months ? Not trying to nail you down to a specific date just a ballpark guess. I am interested regardless of time frame.
