Did a 200 mile mountain run before all the July 4th festivities, then used the Macan to get wine and some snacks. Got home, looked back and I’m still in love with both…
Here you go! Keep in mind this is my first "prototype". I plan to find the exact material (Polyurethane) for the upper portion on the spoiler and mold it around. This will replace the foam/rubber material on their right now so the spoiler looks like one piece (not two diff. materials). It still needs some touch up but not bad for my first round and it is rated/tested at 106 MPH . BTW: The reason why I made my own: I really couldn't find a spoiler on the market that I liked, they all seemed too obtrusive (in my opinion) and took away from the look/style of the car. After searching for months, found a "universal" spoiler on ebay for $65 bucks...yep laugh it up! It had the style I wanted and curve needed.... but it was NOT a bolt on. Had to cut the outers (wheel well area) to shorten them. Cut off about 4 inches in the middle, molded a center piece to cover up where the wo sides come together (you can see it in the #2 pic). Placed a foam/rubber strip to hide a small gap between the spoiler and the cars front bumper. Drilled wholes to mount the spoiler to the car. When I finalize this unit , I might end up building few of these for those who would like one. Not looking to make any money as its just a hobby and keep me busy.
Rxgs- I think part of the problem with the way the wheels look is the sidewalls on front and rear looked pinched. Makes the car look like it has high-water jeans on. More sidewall would better fill the wheel arch. The wheels alone look pretty sharp.

You fix that by lowering it, not by adding sidewall.
