Spoiler on Top of a Spoiler

I'm kind of surprised that Porsche (and aftermarket vendors) went in this direction on the recent models. It just looks so odd to me to see spoilers on top of spoilers. Some of them look like ducktails with another GT style spoiler bolted on top. No disrespect to those who have them or like them. Just wondering what others think, because I'd have thought that the Porsche community would have rejected it, but it seems like most embrace it. Just curious, what are the general thoughts on these double spoilers?

My opinion is that I don't like it. In fact, I would love to see a turbo or GT(2)(3) offered with the regular rear spoiler that comes on the Carrera.

Any comments from the peanut gallery?

Personally I love rear spoilers, to me a sports car isn't one w/o it.

If your going for the race look then by all means this is for you. Personally I like it. Big wings are all the rage these days. lol

That's not the question, though. Rear spoilers are one thing... stacking two mismatched spoilers one-on-top-of-the-other is what I'm polling about.

Then again... I'm not a fan of the Aerokit spoilers either. Never minded the old whale tail style ridiculous rear spoilers, but somehow those seemed right.

BLKPPR is infamous around these parts
As my mother says "for the tastes were made the colors"
I don't like cab 911's of any generation, I also don't think 911s look right without a wing on the rear. Just personal preference.

That being said the double wings like on some cars seem a bit much but if the rest of the body has been customized to match an aggressive wing then I like it. I saw lots of 911s at Sema and some look really good with the aggressive double wing. The new 991 gt3 looks tasty with that odd rear wing
