It would need to be further forward to protect the S spoiler but I'm not sure there's solid bodywork to support the bar much further forward than it currently is.

Not sure that would work; roughly speaking the lower curve of the front PU of the standard tt is in line with the ramp and the FPB is inline with the ramp as well. On the S the ramp is shallower and that's the problem. A FBP would need to be much further forward to be of real-world use; if it were only lowered it would need to lowered a lot (perhaps 1" or more) to bring it into the rough line of the ramp and then it would severely compromise ground clearance.

Phelix, I think that you are right that it may be impossible to make a fpb for the S spoiler. As you indicate, there is no solid place to mount the bar and it would have to be so far forward and low to the ground...I am going to be under my car later this week, so I will take another look to see if anything can be done.
What a great product from Porsche: one that looks fantastic, is expensive and needs to be replaced about as often as fan belts! LOL
