I can't decide. sometime I think spoiler up completes the look of the car, other times spoiler down looks cleaner.

Mr. Falb, I think I may plagiarize your look with removing the P O R S C H E logo on the back. It looks super-clean that way. At least I know I won't be competing with your appearance on the east coast or at Summit Point (thank goodness after all the work you and Switzer did on your car).

Here are a couple pix I did, the second being a Pshop without the panamera.

great minds think alike. Summit Point should be fun!

I didn't wait for permission - I already removed the PORSCHE logo this past weekend. Love the look. Great idea - thanks bud.

Revived an old thread with a pic of the upcoming Panamera. How many of you would drive with that wing up?

Down mostly. Though at 65, maybe i should reconsider - just to show everyone I still can.

No offense intended because I respect whatever anyone does to their ride, but since the OP asked... I never put the rear spoiler up manually on either the PGTS or the 991 TTS. They serve no purpose in the deployed position unless at speed. Remember what Porsche says about form following function? Moreover, IMO it looks like the owner is trying too hard to look cool or something and to me it is goofy and juvenile. Same goes for over sized wheels on Porsche's. They do not add to performance, indeed may impede it and the lower profile sidewalls invite wheel and tire damage. The car looks good enough at the valet stand without the boy racer add-ons.

In the case of a 991 TTS or my own Cayman S, sure. But personally, I'm unsatisfied with the look of the car. The main reason I don't leave my Panamera SeH wing up is that I don't think the basic wing improves the look. Maybe if I had the larger fold-out wing that comes with the Turbo I might feel differently.

I'm not a fan of the look of really large diameter wheels, either.

I actually like both ways, so I alternate. Sometimes keep it up for a week or two, then close it and back up.

Down position accentuates the clean body lines - but up makes it look like it's got an air brake on...both look cool just depends on your mood of the day!

Down and in auto mode on GTS. If it was meant to be up all the time they would have made it better looking. Up is like a guy walking around with his collar turned up.

Hey, James Dean made that work, and we're all as cool as James Dean. Right? Right?
