CAJZ - Got any more pics?

My problems are that the spoiler doesn't extend fully and that I get an error message
The spoiler won't always go up or down when deployed manually

Is this because of the microswitch, or is it down to the fact that both my rams are leaking?

I love the *** of the car when the wing is in the down position and its great to know that at 75 or when running away from someone they get to watch my wing raise. Must be cool for those who don't expect it.
Are you saying all you had to do was switch out one of the micro switches to "fix" your spoiler trouble? Most aren't that simple as you know. I also really like the strosek look and yeah.. Having that sh*t work as it was designed is best. I agree also.. Its a great look seeing our spoilers deploy at speed. when I was a kid I used to leave my 993 wing "up". I called it "plumage".

you're in a world of hurt. good luck fixing it at this stage. you're better off with one of the "solutions". i'm gonna try that ebay "fixed" solution first, then work my way into aftermarket stuff if i don't like the look. thankfully my spoiler seems to be cooperating at the moment. with liberal spraying/wiping down of silicone. it's only a matter of time though....

I also looked for a used car with an aero kit because of the problems with the hydrolic wing. It's discrete.

Ok, Here's my full factory Aero adjacent to a couple of other choices (our friends at USP Motorsports). IMO, the Aero looks more subtle and integrated than the GT2, but a "sleeper", I don't thinks so.
