U were rite...way too quick!

On a diff note...does the manual spoiler switch function as a "one touch" button?

I need to hold my button down for about 6 or 7 sec for the spoiler to be fully extended/retracted...

OT yes, but disregard I could not. Very cool to have a family member competing at that level. Family and friends watching together must be fun.

I love the clean lines of the 911 silhouette and this mod keeps it that way all the time.

Question for you that have done this mod, do you ever raise the spoiler? I do some times when I'm on the highway but often forget to lower it afterwards.
I've raised it at speed trying to detect if I can tell any difference in stability but I must not be sensitive enough to tell. At speeds into triple digits I don't notice any difference. Never seen engine temps rise as a result of not raising it either. For the most part I leave it down.

Thanks Grapeape, glad you appreciated it! We are very excited about it within the family and it's nice to be able to share that!

Is there any other source for these DIY instructions? That link is unfortunately dead.

Take a look at this thread. P-daddy did an outstanding write up on modding the spoiler so it is manually operated.

Thanks Chuck. Exactly what I needed.

Saw your post and 10 minutes later I was all done!
