Quite true! Tacky --and a stick on look. She should get a 911 with a whale tail: and that'll fix her need for some tail.

One simple rule in life: if the wife wants it, give it to her. All other rules, please refer to this rule first.

I agree with Chris and carsnob, peel-and-stick look and somehow it interrupts the "rear smoothness".

I know this observation is late in coming but I agree. It just does not flow at all.

I know this thread was recently resurrected from the dead, but I have to say... someone, at some point, put the trunk lip and rear window spoilers on the S600 I just bought. I really like the look, personally. I don't know where these came from, but each has a very subtle embossed "wings" logo. Took me a while to even notice that.

Yes on trunk spoiler. No on roof / rear window spoiler.
