Never run with the spoiler up personally.

This came up in conversation today when I came back from a shoot with this 991. Seems to be hit or miss here at the shop, with everyone kind of split down the middle.

I personally really enjoy the look of it.

I obviously do as well but more so from a profile like that. I don't think it's over the top or trying to be flashy (peacock) style as a few here are obviously insinuating. In case you didn't know a lot of folks think your being flashy by just driving a car like this with spoiler up or down. For those that really don't like it up I completely understand and respect that but I think some don't for reasons like maybe some old school feller doesn't approve and some guys just fall right in in. These cars are works of art no matter how you slice it and I feel very fortunate to have one. Anyway, I'm gonna go hang in the turbo forum because those guys are crazy flashy l! JK

Yeah correct me if I'm wrong but I think most of us under-40 people tend to be on the pretty much like "whatever man" side about the spoiler up, I think it's mostly the older crowd that gets more pet peevy about it.

My preferences:

Spoiler deployed at all times - Nope; looks wonky
Ducktail - Love it
Aerokit - Too much

P.S. You clearly missed the watch/house thread.

I have a feeling that plays a big part.

Spoiler goes up at 75mph. If Porsche thought it was cool it would go up at 10mph. You want it up, put it up, it's your car, just don't try to convince everyone that your a trendsetter.
