Here's my feedback on the wing. Looks great, breaks easily. I put mine on at Christmas time, and just last week I was going down the freeway and the wing flew right off my car. That was money poorly spent. I was doing about 60 getting off the freeway when I kit a bump. I looked in my mirror and saw the thing get airborne. Luckily it didn't hit any other car. That would have been a disaster.

Now I'm looking for the aerokit I rear wing.

Sorry to hear that. Gamballa has the right idea in their design. It completely covers and goes down on top of the metal rods before bolting on. Instead of just sitting on top of at the very top. Here is an image.

Now I really like Gemballa's spoiler. I don't like the way you can see the rubber around the lip of the trunk with the eBay wing.

Yes, I agree. But keep in mind, you will never see that stuff while driving IN the car and it goes up. Now if you are showing someone, like at a car show. Yes it may look ugly while it's up. I just replaced the stock one and put the fixed spoiler on the trunk. I'm happy with the way it looks. You can add an over-ride switch to keep the spoiler down if you like. Here is an image of my new spoiler. It's also on the new 07 boxster Porsche web site. Click on the Techquipment and they have one on a blue boxster.

I just got on Gembella's site and they don't have anywhere to order their stuff. Where can I get that Gembella spoiler?

Well, like I always say, if they don't post the price that usaully means "IT'S SO DAM EXPENSIVE, WE ARE NOT GOING TO POST IT" because people would never CALL us to find out. You have to call them for ordering anything.

Oh, ok. Well at least there's a way to order it.

Just out of curiousity, how much would you think that spoiler of theirs costs?
