Arrow Any good rear spoiler option?

I'm wanting to add a "small" rear spoiler, like a lid spoiler on top of the OEM one which does not deactivate it. As you can see, I have a white and black theme going, so I think I would paint the spoiler black (maybe with a red line on the edge?)... I'm thinking the TechArt Type I... any other good alternative. I perfer non-screw on, so I can take it off if I change my mind in the future. TIA.

I like the Techart I, but I was told it takes screws to install.

I have this one listed on 6speed
Not a 'lip' but still light and compact. You need to drill 2 small wholes on each side of the spoiler, but when I removed it from my car I had a bodyshop taking care of this for less than $200 and there was no way to tell the wing had ever been installed.


SpeedArt wing for Porsche 991. Bought new for $1,600 (+shipping), asking price of $600 + shipping costs. Painted Carrara White. Installed on the car for only a few month. Only one 3mm dent in the paint.
Improves downforce, simple bolt on on the stock spoiler (that remains functional).

Vorsteiner has a good looking carbon fiber one. It is expensive. I like it only when OEM spoiler stays down. I think any extra spoiler will look weird when the OEM spoiler lifts up.

It's about a grand..not too bad imo, as you save on shop time install with it just being 3M double sided tape. After about 6 months, no issues whatsoever..still on like the day it was fitted.

Yeah, I was thinking about that but it just waste of $$ and defeat the whole CF thing if I plan to paint it black...

Not a bad looking spoiler... but I just hate the fact that I have to screw 2 holes... good price though!
If I must screw a spoiler on, I would pick TechArt Type I since I really like the look.
But, I will keep yours in mind, thanks.

I guess the price is not too bad compare to other spoilers. I think it is the best looking spoiler for the 991 (when it is not lifted). I like classy, simple design.

I bet if you wait a little longer, you can get a replica for 1/4 the price.
