Nice car! You're the first person that I've seen run this lip spoiler. From the picture I've seen, it seems to be just a thick rubber material, is that the case? Is it heavy? Does it feel fairly secure on the car? From certain angles, it almost looks like it's painted.

That’s exactly what it is! Firm rubber…. Not bendy and not heavy at all and very secure (been up over 100 with it with no problems) It comes matte black and can be painted, but I’ve already done matte black in other areas on the car, contrasting with the Agate metallic so the default matte black worked great for me! Basically you heat it up and mold it to the curvature before mounting…. Super easy though.

You can look him up in the forum; BobZ is his handle. Heavy customization/color coordination on his .2 Targa GTS, which I believe he has traded in for a GT4 now. He probably has some ideas you'd like if you look up his pics.

well I suppose I’m not the purist that many of you are…. But I love my Porsches … on my third now after my OG 986 purchased in 97 and my 996 TT purchased in 02. The thing is, I like my car to be mine and not look like every other Porsche I see. (I live in the SF Bay Area and it feels like every 3rd car is a Porsche) To me the guards red really pops on the granite…. When I bought it and it was all just black and grey it just lacked something. Even though I loved it…. It didn’t feel mine till I MADE IT mine.

You do you; I am certainly not throwing stones. In all seriousness, Bob did some things you'd probably love so you should check his old pics. He is/was a big presence on this forum.

Default You know the pandemic has made you nuts when....

You rationalize a legitimate need for a custom key tray
