Oh boy! Many likes. Going to have to do this. Really dumb question - do all the OEM parts remain on the car or does the black guard (sorry, don't know name - lowermost piece of trim) - stay or is it replaced with the spoiler? Thanks.
Thanks @ldamelio As @Red991S said the small/thin lip needs to be removed, because the adapters leverage many of the same mounting slots.
Looks great. Any estimate of how much clearance is lost? I have SPASM and wondering how much more careful I need to be with this awesome yet simple addition. Thx!
Very clear install instructions, just follow them "to the t" and install takes less than 30 minutes. Well researched and developed product.
Great communication, fast shipping and customer service, doesn't get any better. Very happy with mine.

@elcaymancito Thank you very much for the kind feedback, and for sharing the pics. Looks great on your car
Looks very cool and aggressive but I have a question..... is this simply for looks? Most air dams are flatter to create a vacuum and not scoop like. This appears to be more scoop like directing air upwards into a dead space while also creating that splitter function.
Much like too much rear spoiler you can actually slow yourself down if it is not balanced in a wind tunnel....has it been on our 718's?

This is an OEM Porsche Spoiler from the 991.1 generation & not an aftermarket product.
Aesthetics of course plays a big part in the decision for many people, myself included.
Regarding aero - The spoiler uses a similar profile to the 991 Turbo and 992 Turbo spoilers.
Granted the 718 does not have the same profile as the 991, but the air management effects low to the ground are likely* similar. The lowering of the leading edge profile is aimed at creating lower pressure under the nose for more downforce.
*I say likely, because it has not been validated independently in a wind tunnel, but then again neither are most aftermarket spoilers simply due to the cost vs market size.
Thanks...then I suspect it would work in a similar manner for a 718 that had an open center intake like the upgraded models...directing airflow to the radiator there while performing as a splitter too.
I would suspect that on a base model/one blocked off it would have a not so positive effect given the indentation/dead space...but that too is supposition on my part.
Anyway, it does look great.

FYI the kits are now back in stock online after the initial first batch sold out quickly - thanks to all who've already installed and are in process of receiving their kits
Emc2design is great to deal with and their customer customer support is first rate.
My original order ended up in the dark recesses of USPS never to be seen again.
I've received many emails, (initiated by Emc2) keeping me in the loop with the situation.
They have shipped me another while USPS is sorting out the mess with the first one.
