I just ran out and took a shot of something you don't see in the other photos here but I've noticed when washing under the wing (I think this is the main reason they give you a button to raise it BTW). You can actually see the radiator tank cap and the oil fill cap. I could reasonably reach the radiator one and turn it if I wanted, and maybe the oil one too... but it would be harder.
So on the extremely rare chance a hater wants to screw with you and just keying/denting your car won't do, they could take off/loosen your tank cap and let your coolant boil over on your next outing... maybe claiming a cap as a prize in the process. Will that really happen (at least if I hadn't planted it in some prankster's mind here)? Nah.

At least the caps are pretty so when people are admiring the raised wing they'll also be able to admire the superb quality of the typically mundane filler caps on the car.

This is a great observation. I wouldn't put it past folks out there to sabotage your oil and coolant caps. I don't like the spoiler up except on the highway, I prefer the fixed spoilers of my 88 911.

Showed my spoiler to a BMW that wanted to play in the twisties today --- maybe Porsche should put little checkered flags on the underside to rub it in a little

Has anyone purchased this Touring Rear Spoiler Lip and if so, what is your opinion? How does it look from the side?

I'd say to include an address as well but I shudder to think of what kind of pics you would get. I am waiting on custom decals for behind my spoiler as well...pics soon.

Have to be strategic about it.

Home address would probably yield some vintage material....not ideal.
Instagram handle seemed like a good idea....but then I fear Chris Hansen will ask me to take a seat. Coinflip in my mind.

We should coordinate stickers to make a nice phrase!

Slightly off topic but here are some cool spoilers, and several P-cars are on the list: https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-cul...paign=16775795
