And I'm sure at a cost that you could had custom uprights hand made and painted by someone local.. Got to love Porsche exclusive.

The way it should look when driven on the road. Very nice.

Also, no more hunchback since the air is coming from the sides!

I think it looks better than a ducktail.

I like it a lot! Would just build speed slowly on the road and see what happens. I'm guessing it should be fine up to about 250kph on the Autobahn.

Checked in with my dealer and he has no idea what colour my Rear wing upper plates are gonna be. Since I insisted on having them in Black. He got a response back from Porsche and they are asking for $5,300 to have them painted for me. I actually saw the email they sent to the dealer and told them that they are outta there minds LOL

That says they don't want to paint them. However, they'll make an exception for those with the 'more money than common sense' syndrome.

Same exception some of the biggest scumbag dealers are doing.
