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.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Suggestion

And wouldn't this contraption change the laminar airflow dynamics to the point that it may deflect or cause additional turbulence, whereby downforce of the standard wing might be compromised?

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

has anyone put on a roof spolier for their car? Eric has a pretty nice carbon fibre one now available. Any pics?

POST 4Original post

i never understood the 'roof spoiler' such as these for Porsches... but, indeed, to each his own.

POST 5Original post

Too much rice... And wouldn't this contraption change the laminar airflow dynamics to the point that it may deflect or cause additional turbulence, whereby downforce of the standard wing might be compromised?

POST 6Original post

I think they look great on the 993 body when its colour keyed to the car, I have thought about buying one, but I would 100% get it painted.

POST 7Original post

Agree with Paul, I think it works on a 993, but the AD characteristics of a 996/997 are way different, otherwise Ruf would be doing it. Def paint if you do it!

POST 8Original post

(shows signs of 'inside the box' thinking) I say get the CF spoiler and have the rest of the car redone in Cf to match! now wer'e a talk'n!!

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

one of the 911 writers from Toronto looks like his 993 has the roof spoiler. I agree, their window design seems more suited to the option. trying to see if there are other pic's - it is not that expensive but enought that it would be frustrating having it sitting in the garage after a month.

POST 10Original post

exactly what i have and yes, it's sitting in my garage collecting dust for a few months now. it's not cf it's just a regular painted silver.

POST 11Original post

I wasn't trying to bite I just see a lot of roof spoilers on Hondas, Mitsubishis, Acuras..etc, and IMO think the Porsche is in a different mod category

POST 12Original post

So have you tried it on the car, and if your not going to I am willing to try it on mine and be tester...........

POST 13Original post

I have it on my car here: http://www.sharkwerks.com/galleries/...lackmambagt850 It's one of Mishas and fits great. I always liked how the 993's were so I tried it and stuck to it

POST 14 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

sharkster - that is one very impressive gallery. i love the front end shot of the 3 super cars. BTW - can you drive that on normal roads given the almost zero clearance front end? regards

POST 15Original post

Thanks man!! I drove it 250 miles to the drag strip and back... had to go eat and drive up and down ramps etc.. then we just drove to Ventura 350 miles... Basically it's a hassle being that low since you have to go out sideways like crazy but the car's chasis is so stiff that it just lifts a wheel or two off of the groung...
