Show me your rear spoiler

I am debating to put a rear spoiler on my 997.1 S Cabriolet but I don't know which direction. If possible, can anyone with after market rear spoiler please chime in and post your photo here. Also, does anyone know where to buy this spoiler without purchase the entire bodykit. TIA.

While not aftermarket, another option is to consider finding a used spoiler and decklid from a Turbo. Judging from the sample you show this may be too conservative though.
Here are photos of my recent switch to a Turbo wing. The first three have the wing up, the last is wing down and after the addition of the 911S logo. Note that if you managed to find the wing from a cabriolet, the wing would raise somewhat higher than this one since each is tuned to match the aerodynamics of the car model (cab vs coupe). Also, FYI the hydraulics work just fine and use the same signal that the original "spoiler" uses. Note that my install also includes a complete deletion of the original high mounted brake light.

StormRune- I love the turbo spoiler but I don't think it fit for cab. Also, it always good to keep OEM part such as turbo wing. Your car look awesome
Evoq007 - Duck tail is my first pick but don't know if it look good on cab. It's so tempting. Where did you get your duck tail from?

Gemballa spoiler, that just sounds expensive. I have the Vorsteiner V-GT GT3RS Carbon Fiber spoiler that isn't sold anymore.

The TechArt Type III looks great on your car Dan. It was neck and neck between that and the factory Turbo wing for me. I ended up with the Turbo wing due to the rare opportunity to get one with all of the expensive parts included, plus knowing the fitment would be perfect and I'm nerdy enough to like the raising/lowering aspect of it. For overall looks, I think the Type III is the best looking product out there with great fitment and not too unreasonable cost. With some other wings I considered (those without too high a cost), I was most often to either find nothing about them or tales of poor fitment. I wasn't daring enough to pick one in the blind... as seems to be the thing that GotGolf52 (OP) is trying to do as well.

I do have to say that Scoper's spoiler looks awfully nice as well though. Very clean yet aggressive. The wheels are pretty sweet too! What are those?

Good luck for more posts OP... this weekend should be more fruitful.

Dan- did you have to replace the rear deck or just add on?
Simon - I saw your car transformation, that entire rear look awesome but too bad they won't sell me just the rear bumper.

Poke around on their site and you will find several other wings and spoilers.
