How did your installer put film on the spoiler?

Do they remove gurney flap and install film and attach gurney flap back on? (Or is that even possible? Is it one-piece design?)

Or, do they just wrap the whole thing in xpel.

991 owners manual recommends against applying any protective film covering the rear lid and bumper due to radiant heat and its effect on adhesive

Plenty of people do it anyways, myself included...never really had an issue. As far as how they would do that decklid, I'm guessing it would just be a custom piece.

I'm afraid there may be wrinkling or bubble underneath the concave area where spoiler and gurney flap meets.

The guy told me they will take off porsche logo on the back and I'll prolly have to buy a new set to go over film.

1- why not? If you're doing the rest of the car, might as well
2- some go with matte finish film. It would look stupid to cover the rest of the car but leave the deck lid without it.

I'm paying for the whole thing anyways. It's not like I'm gonna get a discount for leaving spoiler not wrapped.

If that is the case, then you have to. But for a clear bra, then maybe not needed. In my case I just have it on Full Front. But there is no stopping on somebody to do it on all surfaces.

If you are going clear i would just not do the flap.

I did my whole touring, will take a look at the spoiler when i get home. Installer did a great job taking the lettering off the back and putting it back on, cant tell at all.

The Xpel cutouts for the touring I saw have the gurney flap cut out. Also had the rear Porsche lettering also cut out.

mind sharing where/which page? I'm curious to read this. Never heard this before.

I am planning to do the rear bumper because my GT car will be driven to places like supermarket etc where I am worried someone lets a shopping cart fly into the back of the car or parks and gives me a love tap. Same reason I am doing the doors for door dings... as much as I am praying/hoping this never happens to me in reality. But will search around & hope to learn more about PAG saying not to PPF rear bumper/lid due to heat

i am sorry but your installer is not very good
1. taking the badge off correctly, replace the 3m double sided tape and stick it back on. all my car are like that, never an issue
2. that deck and gurney is not hard. if installer even had to think about it, he's amateur at best. u can do one piece with relief cut or two pieces.

hope comment didnt come out wrong way but i have seen many PRO's fk things up royally

My installer guy is supposedly one of best guys in MA. I guess I'll have to discuss this with him.

Have you heard about windshield film? Supposed to protect from rock chips and etc?
