faster,

good call on the "wall". I checked ot out last night and is split all across the top paortion, 1 inch down from the top. I will order one to replace it....

Not sure what u mean by "if you did not know this already is that the spoiler frame is already masked off and is not to be removed until paint work is complete", and do u have any pics of the nylon bushings?

he kit I ordered, is it assembled already, or is it in seperate parts? if not, do I assemble it before or after painting?

 

Wouldn't happen to be SY, would it?

 

there is a portion of the spoiler frame that is the original black finish that they mask that off at the factory before they primer it, just tell your shop not to remove it until they are done painting it.

the bushing are a very thin nylon, if you look at your original spoiler where the 4 hex barrel screws attach you can see them, pop the out with a small straight screwdriver from the backside and just press them back in with your thumbs on the new frame. i waited until after paint to install mine so the friction surfaces didnt get any paint in them.

the kit will come in pieces, parts are already primed and ready for paint prep. which is the best so you can get good paint coverage everywhere.

the spoiler wall is a piece of cake to replace

 

just removed the old spoiler wall, thanks to faster's suggestion, and instruction s from "father of 3". Tomorrow I will order the new one. I hope the install is as easy as removing it....
I hope there is no problem driving around witout a spoiler wall for a few days. No long trips planned.

 

sam, send the new rear spoiler , two grills, center piece to a good paint shop.
let him see your car in the sun to match the paint (remember, grey is one of the tough to match)
should cost you 75 tops.
Wait a few days for the paint to cure.
Grab the workshop manual and follow the steps exactly, the proceedure is precisely explained.
I joined this thread to warn you NOT to drop anything in the engine. Cover the engine with
something (charchaf)
after, do a search to find how to calibrate the rear spoiler with the word "shims", I have written about it
several times

thanks for all the tips guys.....I should be getting my new spoiler over the w/e..I'll be back with more questions and updates....

"charchaf",

 

geo,
where do I find the "workshop manual" for the rear split spoiler?
"sorbek sam"

 

i dont have a scanner or i would scan and email you the pages. somebody here surely has it available.

if you ever have a chance to buy the set of manuals $$$ do so.. good info if you are going to keep your car for awhile.....

 

Here is your request :

Replacing rear spoiler porsche 993 workshop manual

 

yislemu geo.....

btw. for the painting of the new spoiler, doies the paint shop just need my paint code and oprder some paint, or do they have to do some blending?

 

well, I got the kit today......NO rail, and to my bigger surprise, no adhesive kit...is there another glue I can use, or should I order that glue kit fr the dealer?

 

i think the adhesive kit was 75 bucks, i sent it back and used my body shop buds, 2 part panel adhesive.

 

Good info! Another to do list...
I wonder if its really worth doing DIY or just have reputable body shop(specialize in P-car) do the whole thing... And pay little bit more?

 

call the dealer, print out the PET page of the kit, claim the missing parts, and call
Porsche canada, enough is enough,

kit is:

993.512.317.00 G2X spoiler prime coated
993.512.591.00 G2X grille prime coated
993.512.592.00 G2X grille prime coated
993.512.123.00 G2X center piece prime coated
993.512.777.00 reinforcement rail
999.591.390.00 clamping washers x 16
999.915.509.40 adhesive set

 

mine came with the adhesive kit, but not the rail, i whined a little, but only got it at cost, but i get everything at wholesale so not that big of savings, still had to buy the damn thing. now if you paid for the $300 + "kit" and was shorted the rail and the adhesive kit i would be a little pissy. like geolab said, enough is enough.
