It's his choice for sure. But I wouldn't spend money to add weight and degrade the performance of my car, even if slightly.

I feel like the only way, if at all, to modify one of these cars from an aero perspective is to remove the whole moving spoiler assembly and put in a huge cup-car like wing (w dive planes and/or splitter upfront)- anything else I just don't see the point.

I’d say not my cup of tea but if he likes the way it looks then whatever; however he might be well advised to disable the spoiler raising function to keep the added spoiler from becoming a speed brake above 77 with the oem spoiler raised.

unfortunately your eyes must be off, it lines up perfectly with the retractable spoiler, the color is an exact match, and like you said it’s your opinion, and we all know what they say about opinions!

Yes that sounds like a good idea, but if you plan on doing something like that buy a GT2 or GT3 other than that I don’t see the point

Added factory Sports Exhaust to my 991 S. Not a difficult DIY, as the PSE wiring and vacuum lines are already there. $1375 in parts, plus one hour of programming by dealer. Nice throaty sound at the push of a button!

I think that may be a good suggestion. The spoiler looks good in my opinion, and if by removing the fuse you can stop the base spoiler from going up, that could be a good solution.

Had Musicar Dynaudio Tweeters installed . Now I really enjoy listening to the system, took car audio to level I never experience before.
i say a substantial improvement of the BOSE tweeter system.

Yes, the rear aligns to the rear edge, but, in the pictures, the sides of the spoiler do not appear to be aligned with the edge of the side of the factory spoiler.
