Default PASM Sport Spoiler R&R

I found out yesterday that if you back up just so from a perfectly sloping driveway to the street, it is possible to remove the front spoiler with one motion, hands free.

It also goes back into place easily, by gently pushing hard formed plastic shapes into holes in the front of the bumper cap, everything aligning perfectly due to the guide tabs at the ends that fit in retangular holes under in the bottom of the cap.

I am only half surprised that Porsche didnt make the rear cap similarly "quick release" given the need for R&R for easy access to service the engine. Would be the ultimate trick for the keyless entry option!

LOL, glad you didn't ruin the spoiler with your "involuntary" R&R procedure! Glad to hear it is that easy to reattach!

Get a set of curb ramps and you won't have to worry about it every time you go up/down your driveway.

Not my driveway! Actually, it was a surprise but a remarkably small deal, so just more careful to back out same a going in- angled rather than perpendicular.

The neat thing is that it is a snap off n on- no fasteners. Expect custom aftermarket spoilers given ease of installation.
