Sorry Chief, but it's not the "literal" definition at all. Yours is an inferred definition rather than the eponymous use of the term, spoiler.
As DR says, we're a broad church and I'm a fan of spoilers, splitters, and side skirts when done well.
I'm also a fan of the sleeper look, 911R or GT3 Touring as an example. Each to their own
Looking at the pics earlier on in the thread, I'd be surprised if it just pokes it's top edge onto view, much like the standard spoiler does when extended.
From my understanding, you swap the top out and leave the rest in place, then code out the spoiler deployment with a PIWIS
According to the attached functions list it can disable PASM and lots of other functions. BUT I have only confirmed that the spoiler lift can be disabled..and have not actually tested any other functions so buyer beware ;-). I'm a bit wary of trying out an unknown device for fear of disabling a major gateway or whatever.
Having said that I also have a function list prepared by someone else which appears to be based on some actual testing of the various other functions (on his car at least) and will also post that if you want.
Based on my admittedly limited comparison of the various other "low cost" tools out there (which accordingly does NOT include PIWIS and Durametric) this appears to be as good as it gets as far as I can tell.

Yes Frank your right ,it a 15min job at the OPC to turn off the pop up spoiler. Then the new ducktail or any other pop up section replacement spoiler just fits in.

Either way I would suggest fitting the ducktail first and then disabling the lift mechanism (either yourself via the Foxwell NT 520 or via PIWIS at the OPC)
Based on my experience using the Foxwell NT520 disabling the spoiler lift function also disables a manual lift via the console switch. Perhaps PIWIS does not but I doubt this.
