I love it! Like you say it’s subtle but that’s fine. The black badge below the spoiler looks perfect too. Congratulations on this update 👍

Looks cracking. Only you could get away with that scenic “duck” watching - creative!

Looks great dude!! Every time I'm researching something, you've just made a vid about it. You're the best 981 youtuber! Thanks!

Looks great. You have something special that is the truth.

Just bought my first Porsche and it’s 981 Boxster ! I’ve watched all your video and it gave me so many ideas !! Thank you so much

Was looking for 718 Spyder vids and saw this. Glad I came. Concur with the general consensus that this was a well conceived and substantive positive change.

Ducktail looks great, well worth the cost!! And the badge colour and position change is a good shout 👏👏👌👌

What seems a small change really adds a lot... both the spoiler and badge move. Nice one.

That looks killer - well done! I’ve thought about the ducktail for my 981S but never thought about moving the badge. I’d have to get brave to do that 😁

Looks great! This has been a helpful video too, my 981 Cayman S in Amaranth Red Metallic arrived on Thursday of last week and the spoiler is slightly out of line, and needs adjusting to sit level and lower, so I now know what I need to do!

Looks great, nice classy mod 👌🏼

The ducktail looks great.

well done Daz

Great mods. really impressive.

New subscriber, and really glad this has turned out so well; I love a ducktail spoiler and the badge position is spot on. Nailed it 👍

Very cool indeed Daz.. great job and instructions as ever. Definitely the right choice to move the badge too

Yoooo!!!! That’s sick mate!!! Love it!! 🤘🏼😛 Next project for me aswell maybe...hmmmm🤔😅

Good choice on moving the Porsche lettering and changing the colour. Wouldn't look nearly as good without this step. A nice custom touch. Won't be long before the Lairhillock opens again👍

Looks fantastic well done mate

Definitely a fan! Kudos!

Yep looks the dogs danglies Daz. 👍

Great video ,I just learn how to put my spoiler on.thank you

Someone crashed on the rear of my 981 and ran away and broke only my rear wing and the rear fog light . I did your mode with the oem parts as well. Came out really nice so thanks for that ✌️

I FAAAAAARKIN LOVE IT,,,can;t wait to get one for my car...thanks for supplying part numbers..nice work from Melbourne

Darryl, thanks for this. I think i will try it on my 2015 Boxster GTS. I guess i am going to have to buy a set of sockets! Enjoy your content as it shows how these cars are put together.

Looks great very tempting. I think I would have liked the Porsche Letters in the centre height on the flat section though.

That looks fantastic, good work 👍

Johnstone gardens , great little spot 👌

Brilliant Daz. Saw You'd mentioned it on the Boxanet forum so jumped straight on to have a look. It looks the dogs twitcher but you do realise that I'm now adding this to my list having just fitted the X73 anti-rollbars after watching one of your previous videos. Can you please just stop ...you're costing me a fortune 🤣

Bet you work in an operating theatre as I spotted a lap sponge. I love the darn things as they are lint free!

Top video again Daz , have an idea for a segment in your next video.... Zaga

After you take everything off. Lower the spoiler down and bolt down the brackets until they can barely move than set the spoiler on it in the lowered position ajust it than raise it and tighten it all done.

If it weren't for the 3.8 lump behind my seats in my new (to me) 981 Spyder I'd be kicking myself for not going with a 981S and doing this! Great attention to detail!

The latest video is superb! New DT looks awesome I think there will be a rush of enquires at OPCs for this part. Not sure if re positioning of PORSCHE logo would work without new spoiler - both together work really well. Look forward to next video and also getting out there and driving the things!

Nice job

Looks like a spyder. Big difference. Beautiful.

Great job!

I have this model, same color. Maybe I'll do the same mod!

I think you are really John Travolta, taking time out between movies to give us great advice!

Beautiful 🤩

Wow, superb video !! I have a 981 boxster GTS in white, and i use not to like the rear of this car (i love all the rest lol). I found it too flat or too round, just to "simple". This rear ducktail makes all the difference, and just wow, i love it now. This design is just perfect to my eyes, it really looks like a Spyder which i really love. With some of the angles, i sometimes see the sypder with its 2 bubles behind the driver and passenger's head lol This is gonna make my car just look perfect !! The price is quite high, 708€ here in France at Porsche (unpainted) + the brackets, but ill do it ! Im excited about doing it !! Thanks for the video

Sweet! Source, part numbers, cost??

Hey, that duck tail looks really good. That looks like the one I'm getting. But it's gonna be a boxer, s, but I'm going to do it. The carbon fiber hood side mirrors skirts diffuser, and that duck tail, but that looks very nice.... Then I will have the trifecta. The Cayenne Turbo s the panamera Turbo s and now the boxer. Yes.

Love it !!🥰

Great mod!

So great! Congratulations. So beautiful

Such a good mod, looks ace

Another great video. it does look good with this mod. Also, the repositioning and painting of the PORSCHE logo is a nice touch. Are you running your car on the road with no registration plate now? lol.

Wow you did an Amazing job!!! I live in the United States and own a 2016 Black Edition ⚫ this is an excellent idea I believe I will be doing the same to my Porsche. Thank you for the inspiration and idea. Honestly PORSCHE should have done this to their Boxster in the first place or included it on several packages as an option. The Porsche looks so much better, more sporty and stylish a classier overall appearance and improvement. We approve! Job well done sir 👏 Bravo!!!

Brother, you do amazing jobs keep up the awesome work! Have you done & replaced the exhaust heat carbon fiber trim?...

Great addition was this direct from Porsche? Can you divulge the cost?

Great job. Can you post a link to where you bought your ducktail? I bought one online too but when arrived it was terrible quality so I haven’t put it on. To be fair I got a refund too. Thanks

Def a fan of the duckbill look, personally would go badgeless

You doing great video. Thanks for experience

Great indeed what did it cost including painting pls ?

looks good mate reminds me of new aston martin a bit.

Great improvement, and all the better for being OEM 👍 Are those 718 rear lights?

Love it! Looks great! Would love to see you add the Spyder front bumper/spoiler/splitter to balance it out more. I actually think Porsche should have an option to add both spoilers to the regular S or GTS because as lovely as a Spyder is, that top is ghastly. This would create a nice car that's in between the two. I know that would probably make the Spyder seem less special but it would allow for a more aggressive look for those who would prefer that with a top that actually works everyday. For instance, I would love to have the new 718 GTS 4.0 with the Spyder front spoiler and ducktail rear spoiler and still basically have the same performance but with a top that works.

Finally, a video about fitting spyder spoiler on a 981 - thanks! BTW do you perhaps have any information if the 991.2 sport design spoiler can be fitted to the 991.1?

Very nice

Looks amazing - great video...could I please check in addition to the two brackets required are there any additional bolts / screws that need to be ordered for this project?

Did you notice any instability at high speeds? At 100mph, 120, 150? Whats the effect - do you feel more downforce than before ? I'm thinking about getting this but I want this to be functional and don't want to sacrifice stability.

Looks awesome.

Just started watching your vids there great, I just purchased a Porsche Boxster 2.7,Where can i order the duck tail and also the rear diffuser you have it looks great?

Looks lovely! I'm soon to be in the market for a 981 2.7 Cayman and this is one of the things I want to do first. Is your ducktail an aftermarket brand or OEM? Not sure which one to go for!

It’s about time! It looks like it was born with it, Perfect🤙 Thought about painting the roll bar body color?

Love this and plan on doing myself. Could you please share the measurements? I built a template based on a thread a found on rennlist but just want to verify vertical spacing!

Looks great. How much were the spoiler and brackets chap?

I dont suppose you still have the Measurements/spacings for dropping the PORSCHE badge do you ?

This looks really good! Most people say that installing the GT4 rear spoiler negatively affects the aerodynamics of the 981 Cayman/Boxster. Any idea what affect will this change have?

Thank you so much for the video, just got my Spoiler and had it painted! Would you mind sharing the measurements for the Porsche emblem? Will definitely have to do this too!

+1. The Ducktail spoiler looks great like it belongs there. . As a stock color,,, did the new ducktail spoiler come with color? .. My '98 993 Carrera S has F & R bumper fascia which can be purchased from Porsche AG with stock color; Arctic Silver metallic.

First of all, thank you for a great video - well presented, informative, and entertaining; you come across as very relatable - friendly and engaging, but also very professional in your approach. I've now subscribed to your channel, as I've watched a couple of your other videos, and have been equally impressed bu them as well. On a different note, I am interested in doing a similar mod to a 718 Boxster GTS 4.0, i.e. changing the OEM 718 spoiler for the ducktail spoiler from the 718 Spyder. Any ideas on how this is done? Are additional brackets required for this? What are the part numbers? How do you find an OEM spoiler from a reputable source (rather than some cheap, low quality, ill-fitting part, from ebay)?!?

It looks brilliant but for a piece of plastic, it's a bit costly. I'd love to have on my Boxster too, though.

Great video! Can you tell me where I can get the same spoiler for my ‘14 Cayman?

Great and informative video as always! May I ask what the cost of the parts is for this ducktail spoiler? Did you buy direct from Porsche UK?

Great work. Looks fantastic, including the re-positioned badge. (Now subscribed after finding a number of your very useful videos). I was inspired to investigate changing my 981 Cayman S spoiler for the GT4/Spyder ducktail as the standard spoiler appears to lift at either side after a period of time. This is something commented on a number of forums and OPCs have confirmed to me it's a known 'feature' ! I approached my local OPC to get some idea of costs and was informed the GT4 ducktail is a different part number than the Spyder ducktail although I'm fairly confident they are the same size and both are interchangeable and would fit a Cayman or Boxster. Any views / advice on this ? The 981 GT4 ducktail is nearly £100 more expensive than the 981 Spyder ducktail (probably as it's a GT product?) !!

Where to buy the screwdriver? To get out the top plastic

Hallo, looks great the duckteil in a boxter, i would like to know where did you order the parts and then i can do it as well on mein.. thanks

Where did you get the spoiler from? Did you buy it painted or have to get that done?

Where did you order these parts mate? I'm looking to get the ducktail to go with the GT4 Spoiler for my 981 Cayman. Do you think they use the same parts?

Hi, love the spoiler, mind me asking which OPC you got it from? Seems quite cheap from what I was priced

Where did you buy this? How much? Will this fit on a 718 Boxster? Great content. Thanks.

I’m doing the same with my 981 Boxster S too. What measurements did you use for moving the PORSCHE letters to the bumper cover? I have a stencil, but it is straight and clearly isn’t the way to position the letters. Please share! Thank you for the video too!!!

Any idea if this will fit on a 718 cayman S?

Could You tell me where you purchased the spoiler from. What colour did it come prior to spraying? Thanks. Great video.

I'm sold! Who sells the correct painted Ducktail in the USA? There are about 3-4 and not sure which is closest to OEM.

Does anyone know if this will fit a 2015 Cayman?

The spoiler looks great, but anything that's Plasti Dipped never lasts. The black factory lettering is not that expensive if you're going that far with the project, so just buy them

Just tried this install on my own Boxster S, but noticed a 1-2mm gap when fully down- any idea how to fix that?

assuming from the packaging this was a Ebay special not an OEM ? correct me if i am wrong please

What is the bolt for the front? The Porsche illustration only list the back bolt.

Would like a ducktail but just too expensive

Where did you buy this duct tail?

do you still remember where you bought this from?

I must be out of star cos I think it just looks wrong. Everybody to their own

Have you seen the sports tail pipes in real life? It's a silly thing for 600 bucks, right :) Anyway, there aren't very many things I could think of I might get from Tequipment.

Great job but that spoiler is not for me prefer the original.

so what did it cost in total and where did you source it from pls, about to hit unsubscribe here ...
