Default Thoughts on roof spoiler?
Installed roof spoiler this weekend and have mixed feelings on it. Thought I'd love it, but not there yet.

Soliciting thoughts?

I also like it. The subtlety of it is classy.

Looks good. Who makes it, how does it attach and how much?

Since you asked... I think it takes away the lines IMO and would remove it.

Plus it violates Porsche's first rule of design.
Does this change improve performance? Yes=Keep it No=Loose it

It doesn't work with the rear wiper?! It was next on my list in CF.

I think it looks fine... it's very subtle. Based on some of the ones I've seen on other types of cars I was expecting much worse... lol
