Good luck in your search. Those spoilers live a hard life.

I looked and looked, and then ponied up the $400 and bought a new one. The one I threw away was nicer than some of the ones I found for sale on here.

I often got calls from people looking for that "three piece front spoiler" they were amazed to learn that it was just one BIG piece ! That is one part that you probably need to buy new. There is only one company making them they sell through many outlets including Porsche but the retail prices vary greatly plus shipping costs can be high due to the size.

I have a three piece chin spoiler you can have for shipping once my other arrives. I should be able to get it in a pretty normal sized box since it is now foldable.

This is a dandy. Roger shipped me one folded in half once. I unfolded it and it was fine.....

Tony, I was joking sort of. You really are welcome to the part if you want. It is not like new, so I was thinking that you might want to hold out for something better, but the offer is genuine. I have not forgotten you helping me with your old spider.
EDIT: Spoiler is broken in usual places at the vents. I am sure that they could be fixed to a degree with a drill and zip ties, but when I said foldable, I meant broken.

You can fold some of the spoilers some of the time.....but sooner or later even some of the new ones will split if pretzled into a small box.

Yes SOME do survive but when it does not that becomes the problem.....we know that the silly things manage to break far too easily on the car anyway.

I will take it if no one does the 85 I just got had the spoiler delete via curb option.
