Default Is $200 for installing spoiler reasonable?

Do you think installing TA type III spoiler at dealer for $200 is reasonable?
$200 for replacing the original rear deck lid with TA spoiler and de-activate the auto pop-up stuff? What do you think? Good or bad?

For good piece of mind, I would say, "Yes". Plus, you get warranty for the work done, but not the parts that are not OEM.

Get a 10% discount with your PCA membership.

Woud love to see pictures when done.

All the best!

200 sounds solid for a job that has a high likelihood of coming out correctly..... sure could get a local speed shop for less but with the savings comes some risk. Go w/dealer IMO. Good luck and yes please post completed pics etc...

It takes about an hour or two as you pull out the stock wing/motor and drop-in the Type III spoiler. So I'd say it sounds right.

Are you sure the quote is to install the spoiler?

Might just be the quote to unpack it and assemble it on a table.

I agree anything installed on a Porsche for $200 is a steal.
