1982 Porsche 911 SC, can you remove spoiler on the back and replace it with a regular flat panel?

Is there anything under there like a bigger fan or anything that would stop you from putting a regular flat engine cover from a base line 911? I really like the lines of the original 911 and don't really like wings on them.|||The engine lid should be the same as on a car without the rear spoiler, though the black grill is most likely not installed (and depending on the color of your paint, you may find a difference when the spoiler is removed where paint has not faded looking quite different to the area outside the spoiler which has been exposed all these years). On any 911 other than the 930s that came equipped with intercoolers, there is nothing in the spoiler.





The other practical consideration is how much the spoiler reduces lift... from the factory this setup is generally paired with a front spoiler lip, which keeps a nice balance when the car is at speed. If you remove the rear spoiler, it is probably advisable to also remove the front spoiler lip (unless you are looking to shift the balance towards oversteer at higher speeds).|||yeah you can. I agree, that spoiler is hideous and spoilers don't do diddley on a Porsche until well over 100 mph anyway.
