You need to stop listening to that silly little voice in your head that spits out that racket all day sir. Life just isn't that serious.
God help those poor souls with fixed wings.

I definitely agree that Porsche knows when the extension should be activated more than anyone else ....but thinking like that there should not even be a button to activate manually . I guess I try hard most of the days and thankful that I have good streets here 
love the look with the front spoiler deployed
love the look with the front spoiler deployed(Probably, the biggest issue, as mentioned by others, is scraping the front spoiler when it's manually deployed.)

Coming from a slammed GT3 with a Cup lip spoiler, I'm VERY happy that the TT's front lip is retractable....
Scraping on nearly every bump removes a lot of pleasure from driving on public roads, no matter how "Bad-***" it may look... On track is another matter completely!
Function over form!
NorthvilleStig.... Nice looking combo!!

Look?
Sorry I only have a 2002 TT but I did ride in a new Turbo S. You 991 Turbo drivers sure have an awesome ride!

Assuming the 991 Wing is lifted by increasing the Hydraulic fluid pressure on the lifting struts, as were
previous 996 and 997 Turbos, by keeping the fluid continuously pressurized, even when not needed, you
are increasing the likelihood of the hydraulic fluid leakage around the seals which would require replenishment eventually. Previous Wing Hydraulic systems were not repairable nor could the dealer replenish lost fluid, and replacement costs were high, several thousand dollars. Also you are exposing the piston's surfaces to dirt and contamination needlessly which would further degrade the seals upon any wing movement. IMHO, NOT a good idea to keep the wing "Up" and continuously pressurized.

Let me hasten to add that keeping the front Lip rubberized fabric air dams continually pressurized with air is also a really bad idea. They can be more readily damaged by curbs, steep driveways, speed bumps,
parking front wheel chocks, etc. At least one of our members has already damaged his and replacement cost was close to $2,000.
