Installed the spoiler today after painting and buffing it out yesterday.

The rear spoiler is factory aero kit along with the side skirts and smaller, black rubber spoiler up front that I've replaced with the spoiler shown.

I so find it amusing to watch people park and run their cars all the way up to the curb stop so the tires hit, all the while scraping and dragging their front end over the curb stop.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

The urethane front spoiler sourced from Xtreme Motorcars (
www.xtrememotorcars.com
) just arrived this week. Jeff is an extremely responsive seller on eBay, which is where I transacted the purchase.
In a lifetime of messing with cars and aftermarket products, I have never had a product fit this well, with fantastic quality and enhance the look of a car like the spoiler I bought from Jeff. My old mentor at Automobile magazine, David E. Davis, Jr., would likely have used the word 'Gobsmacked'....it's just that darn good.
Attached is a photo of the car with the spoiler fitted. But let me tell you that it is not secured whatsoever! I just put it in place and it fit perfectly. It is very high-quality urethane that fits as well as an OEM product. I'm now debating whether to leave it as is, or have it painted Seal Grey to match.
I'm so pleased that I had to pass it along to the group. BTW, Jeff also offers one for the earlier Mk.1 996's that looks equally as good.
Cheers!

Be honest...do you really like it? Just kidding..looks awesome. Watch out for curb stops in the parking lot. I so find it amusing to watch people park and run their cars all the way up to the curb stop so the tires hit, all the while scraping and dragging their front end over the curb stop.
I have the same chin splitter on my arctic silver car and left it black
i like the color contrast, that and I know a soon as I paint it, I will muck it up on a wheel stop
Just checking xrtrememotorcar's offerings and didn't see any mk1 splitters...would you happen to have another link ? (Guess I could just contact them directly)
finding splitters for mk1 cars seem to be very hard to find unless you change out the whole front bumper
Thanks.. .Colin
I like it.
It would look even better painted...until the first parking stop scratches it.
Probably best to keep it unpainted if you even park where there is a stop, or curb in front.
Because you know that no matter how careful you are you'll hit it eventually.
My splitter got caught on one recently and got pulled off.
Its painted and the scratches are very visible.
It's off the car for now.
Mine's been on for over a year and almost 7000 miles. I'm always careful when pulling straight into a parking spot, the car is short so no need to be too close up front, and even though my driveway entrance is pretty steep, in fact our c7 corvette always rubs the rubber air dam going in or out of the driveway, the 911 doesn't scrape at all. This spoiler adds some length but very little to the height to the front end.
Installed the spoiler today after painting and buffing it out yesterday. Much prefer the painted finish over the black as it completes the factory aero kit on the car.
Here's the Mk.I version here on eBay:

But it's on sale here:

The Toth splitter only fits the MkI, not the MkII, C2. It is very nicely made and would be a great addition. I just sold mine because it won't fit my 2002. Joe doesn't have plans to make one for the MkII.
I'm going to ignore the spoiler because you mentioned being mentored by David E. Davis, Jr!!!!??? I grew up with about 5 constant subscriptions to car magazines and I was enthralled anytime I read something written by him. Even to a kid who knew nothing of the man, his personality came through in every piece and his opinions on cars were entertaining, informed, thoughtful, and completely unapologetic in a way one could respect even if you didn't agree. I spent a large part of my youth wanting to be an automotive journalist because of that man's writing. Anyhow, that must have been a hell of an experience
"x2. I've been looking for a 996.1 splitter but have been unsuccessful. This is exactly what I'm looking for."
I was specifically referring to ^^these^^ posts when I recommended the Joe Toth splitter...
I spent 9 years with David at Automobile, ascending to the Associate Publisher slot. When David published his book 'Thus Spake David E.', he signed my copy with "Bob: surely we're not done having adventures together? I'm not dead yet!...David E." That was in 1999. 5 years later, I fielded a call from David telling me that he was approached to take-over the reins of a digital automotive magazine, and he told the guy 1) "I have no idea what the hell a digital magazine is?, and 2) he wouldn't do it unless I was brought aboard as Publisher. David and I spent a weekend in Ann Arbor hashing it out and we decided to hold hands and jump into the abyss together as another adventure. The digital magazine was/is Winding Road and under our stewardship, we brought meaning to what a digital magazine SHOULD be. As with any business operated under the auspices of a private investor who (in his mind) knew more about publishing than a couple of guys with a collective 65 years of experience, he couldn't keep his fingers off the product. I recall sitting in a meeting when this guy rolled out a pie chart that dissected all of the road tests we conducted/published and their country of manufacture. He cited that our 'mix' did not align with production numbers and was slanted/skewed incorrectly. I pulled the guy aside and said "you do understand that you are telling the Van Gogh of automotive journalism what shade of red to use in his painting?? Are you serious?" It was fun while it lasted and DED and I did have one last adventure together. There will never be another one like him....sadly for us car guys.

I�m trying out the GT3 cup splitter. With X74 ride height, it may be interesting, but expect it to better balance the GT3 RS wing that came on the car. Too bad Joe Toth doesn�t offer anything for the 996.2, his work is amazing.
My car is lowered about 1 1/4" with Techart Suspension and cup car splitter.
You really need to stay aware of debris on the road and pulling in and out of driveways. Always approach them at a 45 degree angle if you can.
Thanks! The rear spoiler is factory aero kit along with the side skirts and smaller, black rubber spoiler up front that I've replaced with the spoiler shown.
Gcthree: I'm fairly new to the 996. Researched factory aerokits and came up with the "aerokit cup" and the "aerokit carrera". Looks like the aerokit cup comes with the wing referred to as the "taco wing", also know as the GT3. I couldn't find any photos or information on the aero kit carrera. Can you confirm which kit you have? Also, any other photos of your rear wing from the rear? Checked Suncoast and also came up empty on your wing. Thanks.
SoCal911t and NYoutftr, that looks like the one. Now I need to find one at a reasonable price. Looked at new prices and still trying to pick myself up off the floor. Thanks for your help!
Watch for one on ebay.
Don't buy after market, wait for a factory wing.
Last I saw they were like $3500 from Porsche. They sell for around $1200 - $1800 used.
Sorry to bump an old thread, but I see you're in Williamsburg too. Have you found the splitter finds things to catch on around here, or has it been smooth (and not scratched) sailing?
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
