1998 Boxster Spoiler


Recommended Posts

I am proud to be the first one to have a custom made GT3 type spoiler for BOXSTERS....After 2 years of trying to find a GT3 type spoiler, I finally found one that makes it. This type to fit my 1998 PORSCHE BOXSTER. Thought I'd share it with you guys. The price is half of the KOKLEN(not sure if I spelled it correctly) type racing spoiler. This one is lower and does not look like a grocery cart :lol: that you see out there. Just about the right height and it looks nice from any angle you look at it. The price is half of the KOKLEN spoiler. Some may like it some may not but it's really a matter of taste. But I really really like this one. PM me if you want to know who makes it and I'll give you his contact information. Not really sure if I can post his contact info here. CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS..

Is the rear decklid still made by Kokeln? It looks exactly the same to me. Is only the spoiler (actually it's a wing) different?

Kirk

This is made by www.precisionporsche.com not Kokeln. It looks the same but way cheaper. If you buy Kokeln, you'll end up paying $3,000.00. This one cost way less. The spoiler is attached to the centerpiece which they made as well. Ask for Tony when you call. His phone number is on his website.

Who made your GT2 bumper cover? Where did you get the lower lip portion?

Thanks!

The bumper cover I bought from www.precisionporsche.com. It came with the package deal including the side skirts. If you have any other questions, please PM me, I don't want the administrator to hink that I'm affiliated with them. I live in Reno and the company is in California.

Yeah, I see that now. I was just looking at the smaller pictures and not the bigger detail. With the pictures blown up I can see that the Precision Porsche rear deck part is just an add-on deal (glued on?). I think the Kokeln part replaces the entire rear deck lid, which may account for some of the price difference.

I haven't seen this particular part on a Boxster before. You're bold to try it. I guess maybe it's the same rear deck as this car, at least a picture of this car is featured on Precision Porsche's website, so I "assume" it's the same rear deck. I had always thought that guy used the Kokeln part. It's funny that this car is labeled a "GT3 RS" same as yours. What's up with that? Does Precision Porsche give out those decals as a part of the deal or something?

It's not glued to the deck lid that he made. I'll take a photo of it to show you what it looks like up close. Also, the GT3RS sticker I bought separately on ebay...

With Kokeln, it requires for you to remove the whole deck lid and your existing stock spoiler. I kind of like the stock spoiler especially when it automatically goes up when you reach 75 mph and retracts back down when reaching 55mph(that's what the manual says but I never really looked while driving coz it's hard to see). I'll send you new photos this weekend. I had to re-install because the body shop where I sent it to, did not align it with my deck lid. They also put longer screws so I had to replace those as well. And I painted the aluminum part of the spoiler black to match the risers. Came out really nice....

here is the updated photos after re-installing it and painting the aluminum part attached to the spoiler.
