For sure but for anybody to compare it to false badging is ludicrous!

The TechArt one doesn't look bad. Kinda like it.
It is in fact wind tunnel tested, and that's why I'm buying it.

The Type II spoiler with its integrated brake light features and integrated trailing edge under the wing for a more aggressive look. At speeds of 85+mph the TechArt Type II rear wing generates and additional 17.5 kilograms of additional downforce. The aerodynamic advantage grows with speed and at the top speed of 189mph there is an additional 76 kilograms of downforce overall. It will also fit cabriolet models.

Porsche didn't mean for it to be only up or down that why there is a button on your console to have it either way. See then they have it covered either way if it's liked in the up or down position.

I've always assumed "cool" means nice, sweet, killer, awesome, great or a number of other positive adjectives.

Thanks. Make sure you're good on the front side too. You don't want to take off like a plane. Need proper front end downforce to balance it. I'm talking like 100mph + most likely.

I would be roidraging if I dropped 6 figures on a car that I though had an ugly spoiler for the world to see.

I'm a little surprised by some of the criticism buy folks who unless they put on another have the EXACT same spoiler. Doesn't matter if your doing 8 or 80 when it's up it's up and other people on the road see it. Maybe all who don't like it have changed theirs but the ones who haven't. Wow!

Car cover won't fit.

The original question of this thread was never addressed: "My question is could there be any problems occur by leaving the spoiler up all the time?"

I'm guessing the answer is no but I can't say for sure. Would be interested to learn otherwise and why if so.

As for the looks of leaving it up, I have the standard spoiler and prefer the looks of it down. But I certainly wouldn't care or mind if others did it.

Really? Obviously you don't know me and I assure I'm not upset. Surprised and upset are not the same.

Thanks. That's why I asked because I wanted to know if any problems perhaps mechanical or otherwise could arise. I sure wouldn't have asked if I knew all this would happen. Lol! I did learn a little because some of the stereotypes about Porsche owners are certainly true. I haven't encountered any in person but only been around a few.
