Rear Spoiler

[jdpef356]

Thinking of fitting a rear spoiler. I did not want the whacking big one and found this

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=360166996820&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Anyone purchased one from these people? Seems reasonable price. I'm interested to hear from anyone about the QUALITY of them.

I have not had experience of this company, but in my opinion it looks more like a grab handle for the boot lid than a spoiler and as for drilling the boot lid! Sorry for the negativity Alan

P.S. I'm wondering how it will affect the efficiency of the standard spoiler, for this price I can hardly believe they have done any wind tunnel testing. Alan

They are right you know, it does look like a towel rail and it will muck-up the airflow over the standard spoiler - just ask an early Audi TT owner if they think that is a good idea! IMHO don't do it.

hiya, i would avoid at all costs, sorry to be negative but i had bad experience of fitting a non factory spec spoiler on my old sti and would stick to what other forum users recommend, regards jason p

Just had a look at the Zeintec page. I can take or leave the spoiler, but the hardtop looks interesting. Ok, it is plastic and twice the price you'd pay for a factory ali one on ebay... but it does make the Boxster look like a Cayman! Not that I'll be investing. The concern for me (apart from general build quality and how the hatch-back syncs up with the boot lid (or is that removed?) would be the phrase "remove or replace in less than 45mins"... as opposed to about 2 mins for a normal hard top which you can do on your own (just).

Personally I quite like the spoiler - it's the most inderstated mod I've seen, as far as spoilers go. Has anyone got a side-on pictures of one fitted ?
