Hi,

My first impression of your post is Why? Porsche spent a lot of wind tunnel time determining the proper shape and deployment height of the spoiler.

You might think more is more, but I suspect that if you raise it higher, you diminish it's effect. And, the back end of the Boxster will get very squirrely at speed without it. Aerodynamics is a very complex thing, you can't just arbitrarily do this or that, the results, more often than not, will be negative.

If it's the look you're after, you'd be trading off looks for function. In this case, not a good trade IMHO.

Happy Motoring!...Jim'99
