maybe if you drive at 130 mph or above?
I got it. It is easy to install and good looking mod for the price.

Does anybody know how that V-GT carbon fiber rear spoiler mounts? I heard it used double-stick tape, which took it straight off of my list. I was also curious how much additional downforce it might add. I would be more interested if it was functional (i.e. materially increased the downforce) versus purely aesthetic.

Porsche claims it reduces lift, and balances it with an extended rear spoiler position.

I talked directly with them about this a few months back. They make no claim about any of the parts providing any additional downforce, but they did state that none of the parts will create lift. I think we're talking purely in the realm of cosmetic window dressing here...his comments were that this is what they primarily designed for.

nod, that's what I understand also. At 100+ mph, there is no wobble or weird feel though. Car feels planted. I like to think it might help a bit.

I spoke to them, and they give some kind of adhesive product, which makes it easy to install, and easy to remove after without damage to the car. I wanna order it once ive seen it installed on a 4S, which is what I'm getting soon. So far there are no pictures of it installed on a 4S yet, but he was going to email me when they did make some.

Nicoli,

Is here ANY post purchase item, Porsche or aftermarket parts, that you DON'T have on your car?

I think it looks good if they Porsche spoiler doesn't lift up. When it does, I think that duck lip spoiler looks weird.... very weird.
