Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

And of the ones that do, I haven�t found any that generate significant downforce, probably because of the same issue I�m running into.
Leading evidence: 'Run into' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Run into' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

I�d like to keep the spoiler active, not fixed, and I�m looking for any advice or examples.
I�m designing a ducktail spoiler that integrates with the 996�s active aero system and extends at speed like stock, but shaped to generate real downforce. With a few exceptions like the Artnd spoiler and Rennsport, there aren�t many that work with the factory active aero. And of the ones that do, I haven�t found any that generate significant downforce, probably because of the same issue I�m running into. When I started this project, I read about the spoiler system having issues with heavier decklids and breaking for some people. I assumed since my part would be carbon, and likely lighter than stock, it wouldn�t be a problem. But CFD shows the spoiler produces ~200 lbs of downforce at 120 mph, and up to 300 lbs near 150. Even at the factory deploy speed (75 mph), it�s already seeing ~76 lbs of load � all far beyond what I imagine the stock system can handle. So my question is: does anyone have experience reinforcing the system? Swapping in something with more torque? I�d like to keep the spoiler active, not fixed, and I�m looking for any advice or examples. Thanks in advance!
@dyl
there is plenty of room in the market for what you are looking to build. I am very interested in your progress and final product. Wish I was an engineer to help you out. Good luck with the project!

Once I get the whole scanning and fabrication process down I'd definitely try my hand at making one of these in full carbon. It may take multiple parts but I think its doable!
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
