Simply amazing. You are an artist. With that said, the only change I would make is round the outer edges in like a duck tail. Boxster is curved (like a 911) so a bit more curve might look better. Though not sure it would look as good as yours does in the up position. Just my 2 cents. Anyways, congrats again, I am jealous of your talent.

That looks great! but the color is distracting.
Can you roll the car outside for some better pics, and maybe take pics in black&white?

Looking good man! As I said before this the way to do a 986 spoiler!
It might be good to develop a bolted mounting arrangement in place of the rivets. I believe it should be straight forward to install captive nuts in the rivet hole locations. I am not sure what to do about fastening the rear edge.
Did you consider a slight blending or filleting of the side surfaces and to the trailing edge....this may not give a good overall appearance
More pictures!!

Agree with last two posters, you nailed the concept and front-to-back contour looks great, but the sides look unresolved. Could you round the side profile and pull it back into the trailing edge? If so, I might be up for one.
Nice work so far!

well, let me put this out for consideration - the flat sides on the ducktail allow for the mounting of uprights and install of a proper spoiler - it's how ruf did it - ducktail on the street, full spoiler at the track. the ruf unit is bigger however; uncertain if this would be robust enough for the application.
ps, excellent looking item - the 986 has been waiting for this for a long time.

Count me in too!! However, I agree with some of the other posters about if you could round out the sides to conform with the shape of the rear and taillights. That would look phenomenal but I understand it would require some more work.
Could you also post a full shot of the rear from a distance when done.

986 Spoiler
Hello everybody
I will try to make up a small section with the rounded over ends to see what you think. Before I do anything to my yellow pattern. On a personal note I like it as it is, I thought of rounding over the ends but thought it would not look right, as I wont be able to follow the thin edge round to the base. Anyway I will fix a small section on the car and see.

Why not put some end caps? Small, tasteful, and that would sit just above the paint?
