Can you deploy just the rear separate from the front? If so I would be inclined to leave the rear up most of the time personally. Not the front due to driveways etc.

Personally, I think it looks silly.

I don't think you can deploy them independently ;(

I haven't gone fast enough yet for the aero stuff to make a difference. So with the speed humps, speed bumps and steep driveway cuts, the spoiler and wing are retracted except when playing with sport plus

I extend it at times on the highway for fun, but usually not at lower speeds, too paranoid about rubbing.

I have a question, sometimes when I turn on the car the light on the button of the spoiler keeps blinking and only stops after I'm driving around 25 mph +. What does it mean?

Porsche knows a lot more about when the spoiler(s) should be activated than anyone here. Having them deployed all the time looks like your "trying too hard" for attention. Just owning the dang thing is attention enough. Just my .02

If it makes you feel good, do it. Looks silly? As if people you drive past will be thinking "that spoiler isn't supposed to appear for another 20mph ... Poser!"

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

I think 99.9 % of the people would not know that

If I had my way I would have the spoiler removed and just have the clean looks of the 4S.

Until you drive fast enough and you feel the chassis twitching below you...then you'll wish you had aero!
