Rear spoiler 997.1

[rickprice]

Folks,

Question for the non-puritans amongst you.

I have a C4S manual with 102k on the clock, so not a concours car by any means. It’s my daily drive.

I happen to think it looks better with the rear wing up, but not as good as cars with rear spoilers.

I can see a number of rear spoilers for sale on the internet (eg EBay item 183196632973 but my question is, how do they attach? Do you have to drill through the boot lid or do I buy another part with the appropriate fittings?

Essentially, I want to know whether I could do this easily or not.

Many thanks,

Rich

First, I give you my opinion (fully knowing you didn't ask for it):
Don't! It will look stupid.

Now for your question:
The one from your ebay link certainly involves much work. I don't know how it is attached tough, why don't you ask the seller.
I'd be extremely cautious with a cheap big spoiler from ebay that most probably is only glued onto. There will be huge forces attacking this wing at 70 mph, let alone any autobahn speed. Bear in mind that Porsche spoilers are tested for and work at 180 mph.
Also I highly doubt this has TÜV approval!
In any case you'd have to deactivate your existing spoiler and paint it of course.
But bear in mind that this is a spoiler for only £85. You have to ask yourself whether you can really expect a properly designed, tested and manufactured spoiler for your 180mph Porsche at that price point.

If you want a big spoiler do it properly and buy a Tequipment Aerokit Cup spoiler. Or go the retro route and fit a ducktail!

Here is the page from PET with the oem aerokit spoiler, btw:
