Getty....it replaces the whole deck. I believe the Mischa is a wing insert and therefore has a crease where it meets the stock deck. Color matching might be a challenge as well, but a good body shop will figure it out.

Getty has a great mold and fitment is pretty spot on, however others have had issues. Mine was spot on with just a little blocking on the bottom of the deck.

If you go with Getty, get the harness and primer options as it will save on painting/install time. The primer service makes the deck "ready for fitment", not painting but really cuts down on the finishing time. The harness will allow you to keep your old deck complete if that's what you want. I bought a new fan and the various rubber snubbers with attachment hardware so I literally can swap back to stock with only the four main bolts and plug in the harness.

Oh..sorry for the ramble, get the Getty!

Not a ramble and the same recommendations that I have pm'd to several forum members. Additionally, you can turn off OEM spoiler speed signal indicator in the system.

Can any shop with a ______(PCM? the machine/computer for Porsche only) turn off the speed signal indicator and OEM spoiler?

I have a new Misha ducktail I will be listing shortly. Contact me if you are interested. I am going to stay with stock wing. Both MFG's make a nice ducktail. Misha is a lower profile and allows you to keep visibility of the stock third brake light. You will just need to remove your stock wing and mount in position vs entire decklid with the Getty. Both require the program change as mentioned. There are a few posts with nice pictures of member installs as above.

i went with the mischa unit but the getty's are good too...above info is all correct, getty is integral unit, mischa goes on top of oem decklid (i liked that it allows me to keep my original decklid, lettering and chmsl)... if u compare the pics u can see the getty kicks up an inch or so higher, blocks the oem chmsl

...and turning off the motorized wing button is no biggie... dealer did it in 5 min no charge
