My car came from the factory with this spoiler (I have the original window sticker) but at some point a PO removed it, then reinstalled it before selling the car but lost a lot of the correct hardware along the way.

Thanks in advance!

I forgot to mention, you 4 of part # 944.503.255.00 "spacer sleeve".
They look like this:




And they go on the plastic cover piece where the bolts go through.

Was yours a factory Carrera spoiler decklid or did you swap the Carrera spoiler onto your electric spoiler decklid? Trying to figure out which one is correct.

I bought mine on Craigslist and it was advertised as a 996.2 decklid and wing. I don't know if the decklid started out as an electric version. When I was researching all this stuff 2-3 years ago I found some random pics of other decklids using this wing and none of them have the extra openings shown in your pic. I'm wondering if someone maybe cut those extra openings in for whatever reason.

Interesting. Thanks for posting those pictures. I will look at the cutouts more closely to see if they look like they were cut in by hand. Just searching Google images I can't find any photos that look like mine with the extra cutouts. It would make sense that that area would be closed to direct as much air as possible into the stock air intake tube. When I got the car it had an aftermarket intake on it that would benefit from all that being open, I removed this intake and reinstalled the stock airbox.

ouch. i actually did install new motor mounts about a year ago! I like how your tips are closer to the bumper though. your car looks great and I've been thinking about abandoning my OEM wheels for your wheels (so much easier to keep clean).
