Removed spoiler hydraulics...

... and added some height to it with fixed (adjustable with some screws). What do you guys think?

Way to high would look better in lowest position.

Need better photos from the side, etc., but from the ones you posted already I'd have to agree it's too high. Also consider the forces on the longer stems and be sure they're sturdy enough if you keep it as is.

I agree that a little lower would be better. I didn't know your car was a sunroof delete! That rocks.

It looks good without one, but honestly I wouldn't mind a sunroof from time to time

Slightly, but still works fine. In slow speeds with less separation you see the behind car under the wing, with more separation they are above.

I would say it's about the same height as the 997 gt3 rs mk2 wing is.

Thanks for the feedback everyone, going to try some other settings. This was the highest one which I obviosly had to try

I'm just gonna stop sharing stuff then. No wonder this forum is only about changing the oil and strange noises nowadays..

To the rest, thanks for the feedback.

Really...you post a pic and ask what we think...you expect everyone to gush over your decision? If you don't want others opinions then don't post.

These guys are ruff but its part of being in a forum= gotta be able to take it on the chin and give it back in spades when needed. You car is nice and I love the no sunroof put you spoiler where you like and screw everyone else.
