Default Spyder spoiler question

Can a Spyder or R owner tell me whether anyone has swapped out the fixed spoiler on the R with the little ducktail on the Spyder? I have an R and wouldn't mind playing around with the idea if it's doable and reversible.

I think the 982 GT4 and Spyder versus the 981 shows how much can be achieved by a concerted effort to address aero. Porsche did address aero on the 987 R and Spyder and did achieve increases in downforce, but who knows what were their goals versus S versions. Knowing the GT4 and 981 Spyder were set to begin manufacturing, probably not much. Aesthetics aside, you always risk making something worse when you let your eye dictate.
