That is awesome, hats off to you for taking the time/investment to make this a reality. Nothing cooler than seeing you're own ideas come to fruition.

Great news!

Does the E-ram kit re-use the stock stainless steel spoiler attachment posts (not sure what they're called exactly) that the rams are housed inside of or is it a different post for the kit? It's hard to tell from the videos but looks to be a different narrower black post?

I,m a beta tester with a 3 inch lift and the posts are are stainless/silver in color. I think you can get them either in black or silver.

dumb question, but do they deploy and retract exactly as the stock config? up at 72 and again down under 37?

Up, yes. Dave is still working on the logic for down. Manual button for now, but I have a working spoiler that won't fail like the OE. (which mine did in a major way and blew out my engine trunk seal.)

thanks for the reply. i'd prefer it to work as originally intended, or else i would simply opt for a fixed wing. but i continue to applaud his efforts to date, and will hope he sorts out the auto down feature.

yes they do, up at 75 down at 37. but it turns out that fooling the ECU is tricky. I've been working diligently with a mini circuit board designer to get it right. I took my turbo to the track last weekend for some high speed testing. Worked like a charm.

it is a bit different, more like the newer Cayman, yes narrower cylinder.

Do you have a tentative date when you are hoping to get these on the market?

My spoiler is acting up again, so I'm excited to see this come to fruition!
