You guys are right, the more I look at the rear spoilers - I can't decide. Will keep it stock, very pretty !! May be just add a front lip only.
Thanks

No spoiler to spoil her. Stock is clean looking but for a devoted track cat go with the Gt-3 or 2 type.

Techart did a nice job designing that wing but I gotta say I like the car better without it.

FWIW, I absolutely agree with Ken. The OEM lines of the cab are just about perfect as they come from the factory.

I agree with Keninirvine and northvan, the car doesn't need a spoiler. Leave perfection alone. Keeping a car stock is best for resale, and if the installer doesn't do it correctly, you may run into issues later on.

Leave the car as is. If it really needed a rear Spoiler, Porsche would have put one on there. Oh yeah they did, it automatically comes up a 75 MPH.

The wind deflector is a significant imrovement vs open back. Easy up to 100... but I don't have any experience above that It seems pretty stiff, but it does restrict the rear rake of the seats by just a smidge. Worth the $ and easy to take on and off.

Don't like that wing. Make me feel the car got beaten and the back is swollen.
