I wonder how well it actually works at speed with the other one up also? Porsche seems to make a big deal about matching front and back and the implication is everything was finely tuned so mess with one and it messes with the other, perhaps in a negative way. I wonder how this balances as well as the net performance.

Looks great though. And I really like the side window stickers. Where did you get them?

I had my TectArt rear spoiler installed, drove to Sebring and returned, then got the front spoiler installed. (Damaged in shipment) There was a noticeable improvement in handling at speed after installing the front.

Hi Stud G,
Thz for the compliments. Honestly I cannot tell the difference so far as I have not had a chance to put her on the track. I can't imagine it could possibly make any real difference street driving though.

Thx also re: window stickers. I got mine off ebay. There's quite a few guys selling stuff like this. Just search "carrera decal" or "porsche stickers" etc on ebay and you will have a lot of choices. There was another discussion thread on this or rennlist forum recently...

Thx again!

It looks way too much like a Dodge Stealth...

I want to like it,,,,,, but the spoiler deck is sooooo close to the rear window-can it be adjusted aft or is it static? It looks great from the rear not as much from side or 3/4 view.

I like it.

Appears it forces a lot more air on top of the motor which I would think be a good thing. ?

Cool. Nicely done.

No unfortunately I cannot be moved and yes it would probably look a bit better if back some more but room had to be left for the oem spoiler to function.

Thanks! I believe that was the idea to force more cold air into the intake. I think similar to the way the turbo and GT3 ' S are vented.
