I see no practical use, do you? I noticed that the individual obviously figured that he/she felt it necessary to just keep adding Spoiler. Pic #1 had black top with down turn. Pic #2 didn't. Ioki, I'll bet if you take another picture in a week it'll have little blinking clearance lights on top for low overhangs.

It looks like he found two of the biggest spoilers and just stacked them. He obviously didn't do it for looks. I wonder if it's useful at high speeds?

I've seen true racing 911s with spoilers that large. That car is raced, by the way - these particular pics are from an NSX-Files story about a hill-climb event. Ugly or not is a matter of personal preference, but such items do have their place in the performance world. After all, that's the car that won the race. 3min 12sec to climb the hill. Second place was a Ferrari F40 at 3min 17sec. Five seconds isn't a small margin.

Notice the big wing here too?


Another 911 with a giant wing at the event:


And another:


I must be weird, to think something like this is perfectly normal and acceptable, and rather quite common. *shrug*

I guess I agree with everyone, because I think it's nasty as hell, and totally defendable. If the car's faster with it (and it is), it doesn't matter how it looks.
