I think that spoiler is too small and subtle...........
...just kidding!!!
More seriously, have you done it for looks, or is there a real downforce benefit during high speed cornering??

The rear spoiler is for both looks and downforce. Driving around the other day I put my foot into it on an open near empty highway I didn't realize how much you actually feel the downforce when your driving at higher speeds.

Can you give me (a relative newbie here) some info on that front splitter? Will it fit on my TT bumper? Do you need to replace the entire bumper? I'm thinking of having my front bumper resprayed, and this would be a great time to add those splitters. Where do you get them? How much?
Thanks,
Thanks,

I bought mine from <a href="http://www.design911.co.uk/" target="_blank">http://www.design911.co.uk/</a> for $5XX they are Porsche OEM splitters and fit very well not alot of prep work needed either. I buy alot of stuff from this place and most of it is reasonably priced.

Thanks for the help. I'm not sure I like those "S" extensions (are they the ones that looked like they're folded up?) as well as the RS splitters as pictured on GTR993's car. And, I must add, again as a newbie, Porsche prices are utterly outrageous. Admittedly, I'm coming from the low-bucks world of Mustangs, but yipe-o-rama... I'm having wallet shock.
In any event, I guess I'm out of luck with the RS splitters on my wide-body. Sigh.

Another place to check out I can't say how well their products are made but they are very cheap. <a href="http://www.betterbodiesmotorsport.com." target="_blank">www.betterbodiesmotorsport.com.</a> They may sell a front spoiler that you will like. Originally I didn't think I would like the RS splitters as much as the standard splitters but I am very happy with the way they look.
