Now would one of you guys or gals with a broken/cracked aftermarket wing want to sell or donate this to me I would figure a way and document how to fasten it to the stock spoiler. Maybe I can even make a mold of the cappy and dupe it.
Or spend the 300 bucks for the bridge type spoiler and be done with it...decisions, decisions... Out of the box sure sounds appealing.
I did not realize you made this post. I have my cracked spoiler still if you are interested in cutting and reshapping it to fit the stock one some how. Send me a personal mesage and we can talk about shipping and cost.
I have a wing on my Boxster. I'm pretty sure it is for looks only and doesn't serve any practical purpose, but I'm glad it doesn't interfere with the stock spoiler ( and yes, it bolts to the trunk )
Okay, these are a little out of focus, but you can still see where the cracks started. I tried to fix them by filling them in and then resanding them back down smooth. After that, I just painted the lower bottom section flat black to cover up my work. About 2 months later it started to come through again in the same area on both sides. Before I re-installed it the second time, I even used 2 sets of rubber washers, 1 inside and 1 outside the wing between the contact of the metal shafts. That's 2 per side! They act like shock absorbers for the vibrations. But none of that still helped. It can still be fixed with some effort, but at this point, I just don't like any thing that bolts directly to fiber glass. This stuff is way to brittle. So buyer beware!

I wonder if someone made a spoiler wing kit like the on for the porsche cayman, if that would be equivalent to 1 Goodman worth of down force, maybe even 1 1/4 Goodmans.
See that worries me cause fiberglass can break to easily, probably not strong enough to with stand 1/8th John Goodman.
Exactly, I don't like buying anything made of fiberglass uless I absolutely have to. If you hit a bump at say, 75mph and the spoiler is raised it may break off completely like that other guys did. Down force equal to 1 John Goodman and 1 Rosane Bar.
