I like the OEM (non-spoiler) look.

Yeah, it's all personal taste. I added the TT rear spoiler as more of a hobby/project. I like it, but I kept the original deck lid just in case I want to go back or change the look. I think the turbo front bumper I installed has more impact on updating/changing the look.

Thx! Rear spoiler is on my wishlist, but I'm on the fence, like the OP.

What about this spoiler? It's probably the cheapest one to get. lol... All BS aside, getting a spoiler is all within personal taste. If you feel you need a spoiler to spruce up your 911 affair, then by all means get it. To me having a spoiler on a vehicle other than a Turbo, GT2 or GT3 is being too much of a poser. But on the other hand, we live in a free country.

That spoiler isn't really cutting it for me, going 145+ on the back straight of Road Atlanta. Things were pretty windy there in Sept and Dec last year, and I'm thinking that a bigger spoiler might add some stability. Still on the fence, though. Not concerned about the poser thing, though. I mod my car how I want it to be.

Maybe what you need isn't a spoiler... What you need is a race track where you can execute your 145+ safely without endangering others.

I am old school and love the classic 911 lines, so no spoiler for me. But, to each his own, and do what makes you happy. Just be sure you can easily convert back if you don't like it, or want to sell the car in the future.

I like the stock on my base.

I recently picked up a factory aero on a 4S and I also like that. However, there is something "classic" about no spoiler.

The current ducktails are a bit big for my taste but that's the thing about taste: Everyone's sucks besides your own.

Ummmm, last I checked Road Atlanta's a race track. Please holster your pitchfork for the next witch hunt.

Back on topic, if I went with a rear spoiler I'd probably opt for a ducktail but I like the stock lines of the car for now.

It is for sure! I've driven on it before!
