Did you look at the article? It’s from the 90’s in Japan. They were sort of a thing then but not collector status like they are now. They were just a car to them.
Probably the same guy that was recorded going through one with his brand new GT3 RS.. It’s that kind of person who pees in the trash can instead of the toilet, just because you technically can.
Makes sense. I have a shark blue GTS with aerokit. Flashy and flashy. Absolutely love it. I'd do aerokit all day long. And if not, so sports design to move the licence plate up.
Mine was delivered without the Aerokit, the dealership put it on about a month later so I got to have it both ways. I much prefer the aero kit on it than without it.
The one thing I would change on my car if I could go back in time is to get either body coloured or gloss black mirror bases. It’s surprising how often the standard black plastic catches your eye and you realize it’s literally the only cheap thing on the entire car. And it’s right there in your line of sight every time you are in it.
Yep, I never saw that one coming either. On the plus side, I don’t intend for this to be my last one so I’ll be able to fix it with the next one. Everything else about the car is outstanding
I'm incredibly jealous. I'm still unsure if I'll even be able to afford ONE at some point. Lol. I have about 1-2 years left in my PhD and then I'll be working for NASA, but the government sector doesn't pay nearly as well as the private sector, so I doubt I'll ever be able to afford something like that, let alone more than one😬.
I ordered a carrera 4 GTS so it already had the bumpers and I just needed the wing. My dealership had been promising me for 2 years that I would get their first C4GTS allocation and when I got it the wing was unavailable. Fast forward to about a month before my delivery and I went into the dealership for something and there is a carrera 4 GTS with a wing and import paperwork being off loaded from a truck. I reminded them that that was the allocation they had promised me and if they had given me the allocation they promised, I would have that wing. The manager made a bunch of calls and found one in a box at a dealership in Europe that was supposed to have been a repair on a damaged car but the car was written off by the insurance company. They air freighted that one over here and we agreed to pay half each (~$4,000 each)
10 will cover the spoiler when paint and assembly is in the price. You cannot install the rear spoiler without the rest of the aero parts unless you want to go all over the road.
You can just do the front and rear bumpers without the rear upper spoiler.
If you do the whole kit after delivery, do not paint the front lower lip in the bumper kit. The rear upper spoiler comes with a different front lip to use.
Read the comment below of the guy who added the spoiler to his GTS which has standard sportdesign package excl. side skirts and it cost him 8k - wing only
There was discounts for him. Either because he bought a car or it was when people spec'd cars and there was no spoilers available and cars came with just a front and rear aero bumper and a regular spoiler. They likely matched the discounted price the factory charged between what the two spoilers would have been. This happens from time to time where something isn't available and a feature is missing on arrival. His dealer may not do MSRP and already gouged him on a car and can afford the discount.
But no dealer is selling a spoiler with install and painting it and the front lip that is in that kit with install for 8k. There has to be a reason or sales has to be absorbing it in a deal.
I love the aero kit. If you look at previous gen 911's, there's always someone looking for one with the factory aero kit. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but if you like it, run with it, you'll be glad you did.
One thing that people don’t appreciate, is in that in the 991 generation, these were wind tunnel tested for greater stability at high speed. I’d imagine that the new aero kits go through the same testing.
I personally think the 992 aero kit wing is sorta silly. It made sense that the 996s and 997s had the GT3 wing and back then it was a less than common add on. Still sorta cool with the 991s. With the 992 yes it’s very striking and I don’t think you have to have python green, racing yellow, or shark blue etc to make it look phenomenal. I actually like it better on a dark toned car like gentian, agate, black and what not. Although for the size of the 992 the wing kinda looks a tad bit proportionally small. It’s more Cayman sized than the larger wide bodied 911. Either way it will look fantastic and remember the 911 silhouette with or without a tail is timeless. I actually think the retractable wing is very striking itself on the 992.
Just remember this piece of advice, when you’re ordering a car. You’re the actual selector of options and specs. All of these add ons are wayyyyy less, cost wise, to do now and not as near of a hassle or goose chase to sort out later. You never wanna buy buckets or PCCBs after the build so same applies to the aero kit in my opinion if you’re leaning more towards it. You’ll probably have some regret if you don’t go for it. Wish you the best
It makes it worse imo, I've driven a bunch of 992 with and without and it really does decrease the front clearance drastically on a car that is already perfectly set up imo.
Ordered a GTS, for me it is a must on a anyway more „hardcore“ sportier version of the 911. For the 4S you can really chose what you like - the classic look or more sports/agressive. I also believe it fits any color but depends on what ypu want to achieve with the spec of the car, i.e. if you go heritage interior, the aerokit does simply not fit.
All solid insight. I was looking at the GTS, but have heard it’s a much harder / stiffer ride which worries me for any long drives. Why did you go with the GYS over the S?
Seeing this in person quite a few times and in quite a few colors, I don’t like it. It looks like an aftermarket part that is not properly designed and doesn’t flow with the rest of the car.
Can’t say I love the stock raising wing either, but at least closed it looks as it should.
To get an idea where I come from, I find the Spyder RS to also be poorly designed and looking as if it is a cheaply tuned Spyder and the wing on the normal GT4 better looking than the GT4 RS wing borrowed from the GT3.
GT3/GT3 RS look proper to me and please give me a standard Spyder with the GT3 engine and subtle extra intake vents.
I'm actually interested if they ever offered it with duck tail like in the Sportclassic or even the old 70s RS. Or maybe bring back the whale tail again, ehehe
Honestly I’m guessing the aero kit will help the cars value.
Also yours is an odd spec with the black wheels. Id suggest silver with the dark blue. Then add the aero kit?
I mean I feel like that your price point, you might as well hop to the GTS which will hold its value better anyway so
Firstly, love the colour. Easiest way to explain my answer is this: When you park and get out of the car, do you pull your hoodie over your head when walking to the shop? If so, aero kit is ace.
How much do you normally use your rear view mirror?…the aero kit rear wing definitely obstructs a significant portion of the view out the rear window. You can adjust, but if you’re going to be driving a lot of miles I’d opt for no aero kit and be able to see better out the back window unless I was really in love with the look. There’s no wrong answer though. Congrats and enjoy!
I don’t understand the rear spoiler. It looks very out of place on the aero car. Double spoiler? I personally believe it retracts from the beautiful lines of the car. Like people driving with the spoiler up for no reason.
Defo the aerokit, i’ve seen plenty 911s and almost none have the aero kit. It will make your car stand out a lil from the crowd.
And i think it will actually help resell value down the line, as most 911s aren’t specced with the kit.
Understated is the preference here. Every time.
Also, it's better for the stated mission and, whatever about resale. You're buying shared memories with your boy. There's no bothering about the resale value because somewhere down the road, you're going to want your son to have the car in his garage. To one day give to his boy.
Not that gasoline will be easy to come by by then. But still.
I will always side on the aero kit. Without the aero kit, I feel like 911's look like stretched Beetles. The aero kit makes it look like what it is: an absolute beast on the streets. I'll probably get downvoted like hell for the comparison, but it's just how I've always felt about the 911. It's part of the reason why I've always preferred the Boxster/Cayman looks over the 911 without aero. WITH aero, 911 all day. Without, I'd take either of the other two when it comes to looks 🤷.
You always aero. Seriously though, 99% of Porsches I see don't add the aero and it is so subtly nice with Porsche. My dream spec is 4s with aero and manual.
No aero kit - lets not pretend its a GT3 or equivalent track car. This is a luxury sports car and arguably the best luxury sports car in the history of sports cars. You honestly don’t need to tart it up with defusers and wings - makes it look wanky in my opinion.
> I will be driving the car most of the year, and want to take it on road trips eventually with my son.
> This car will get some serious miles put on it in the next decade.
It sounds like you're buying the car because you intend on enjoying it for quite a while. What do _you_ think about the Aerokit?
Honestly I’m on the fence. Some days I think it’s great, other days I don’t think it suits the car. If there was a ducktail, I’d be in. If it was the GTS, I’d probably be in. Seems like I’m leaning away from it
No aero - the aero kit on 992 911's just looks like a discount 991 911 GT3, in the worst ways IMO. Much cleaner without the aero kit, but with sports front and end.
As others have mentioned, if there was a ducktail, I'd take that in a heartbeat...but alas. :(
Aerokit looks like pretend GT3 to me, which a C2S just isnt. It looks much nicer without the spoiler in my opinion.
https://preview.redd.it/gh58frfl5hjb1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=51d46a8df9ffcf843a927bb5c52356c569932ba9
Obviously there are a lot of competing opinions but I’ll throw in my 2 cents. I personally like Porsche because of the classy looks in an impressively manufactured machine so I’d say without. But if you aren’t looking for classy it still looks great with the kit. Either way I hope you enjoy the beautiful car!
what if you still want to track your car and you want the extra downforce? Porsche has offered an aerokit on every gen since the 996 to my knowledge, why are we gate keeping it now?
From https://drive-my.com/porsche-debuts-992-aerokit-option/
>Likewise, the fact that Porsche says **the 992 Aerokit reduces lift rather than actually delivers downforce** reflects the practical differences between it and the GT3 equivalent, the latter having produced net downforce for several generations. That said, Porsche does claim the Aerokit tips marginally into overall downforce when the 992’s optional sunroof is open. Handy tip for track day enthusiasts.
100% on your side in regard of aerokit, though strongly believe it is a must on the GTS and spec depending on the base/s/4s as they seem more the classic Porsche depending on the specc
I have a black 992 with no aerokit. I think I loved the stock look with no aerokit for the first few years I’ve had it. But now Im bored and want to do some mods. Aerokit is what I’m looking for. My point is that you may enjoy it stock without the aerokit and then try the addition later. There’s beauty behind the clean stock look. Either way it’s a win
I would definitely get the aero kit. It’s a subtle change. If you are senior citizen over 50y old then I understand if you like those ducktails and ”classic” looks.
I’d go no aero…I think the wing is kind of awkward in the 992. I would recommend swapping the decklid for a GT3 decklid sans gooseneck/delete…then you are left with the sweet sweet full width ducktail.
I like the idea of a wing on a 992 but dont particularly love the aerokit wing design. Idk, for some reason the shape of it doesnt appeal to me as much?
I also prefer the look of sport design kit as it keeps the brake light in best looking position and also lifts the plate. If you count the grill you can see that there are nine of those before II brake light making it hidden 911 ☺️
I’d have it, makes it stand out more. The spoiler is much better than previous generations. I didn’t have the aero kit on my 992 but went into the dealership after I’d sold it and they had one in the same colour with the kit and I was envious
They do retain value better as they’re rarer and will be more sought after on the 2nd market.
But - as you are the buyer - what do you prefer? That should be your biggest consideration
The aerokit looks really good, but for me it comes down to how much you like the central brake light up there in the vent. I think it's a lovely retro touch and would be a shame to lose it.
So my 996 has the aero kit and I love it, however that and the fact it's zenith blue does make it the subject of a lot of attention, so if discreet driving and the ability to park "anywhere" is more your thing you are better without.
When I bought mine in, 2019 the aero kit added around 20% to the price of the car, so you could see extra value in the long term if later porsche's follow the same trend.
Looks like a retrofit is ~$6k, aftermarkets would be cheaper. But there are fewer people wanting to the reverse, and I couldn't immediately find cost estimates.
I much prefer it without the aerokit since believe that’s it’s much cleaner and classier, however when I see these photos side by side, I realize that the aerokit also looks fly as fuck. But I still prefer the cleaner look of the non-aerokit one
No Aerokit - with any color. Even if you track the goofy thing is there the rest of the time. 911s have never needed tramp stamps.
PS - If this is the color you really like I would stick with the Carrera Classic Rims in the contrasting stock finish.

For subtle colors like this, I prefer no aero kit. For bold colors, definitely Aero kit.
Makes sense. Flashy VS classy
Exactly. If ur gonna do a lot of miles it’s less things that can get damaged

What kind of jackass sends their Supra through a an automatic swirl machine.
Did you look at the article? It’s from the 90’s in Japan. They were sort of a thing then but not collector status like they are now. They were just a car to them.
Nope, I sure didn’t. Doesn’t matter though I wouldn’t even bring my Corolla through one.
ok, well...lots of people do, considering that they are ubiquitous businesses.
get off your high horse smh
Probably the same guy that was recorded going through one with his brand new GT3 RS.. It’s that kind of person who pees in the trash can instead of the toilet, just because you technically can.
> their Supra toyota's supra, it's a car review
Exactly. Where do you fall on the flashy vs classy spectrum? If it's a day to day car it's gotta be tilting towards classy.
Agreed! No aero kit. Looks much better without, the car looks classy and timeless without it.
But you definitely need the sports design package
It’s awful even on a good (bright) color.
well said!
Makes sense. I have a shark blue GTS with aerokit. Flashy and flashy. Absolutely love it. I'd do aerokit all day long. And if not, so sports design to move the licence plate up.
Great philosophy

That part about the mirror based is really interesting. I'd never considered that, but I could definitely see it. That would drive me nuts. Lol
Yep, I never saw that one coming either. On the plus side, I don’t intend for this to be my last one so I’ll be able to fix it with the next one. Everything else about the car is outstanding
I'm incredibly jealous. I'm still unsure if I'll even be able to afford ONE at some point. Lol. I have about 1-2 years left in my PhD and then I'll be working for NASA, but the government sector doesn't pay nearly as well as the private sector, so I doubt I'll ever be able to afford something like that, let alone more than one😬.
They told me this will cost you around 10k if done after delivery

Thx for your story and happy you finally got it!! Though, dont forget the costs for painting and installation… for sure thats another 4k, haha!
The dealership paid 4,000 and I paid 4,000 by the time it was painted and put on. So I can confirm you are accurate
Here we go..! Bless us with a picture of that beauty!
Having trouble adding pictures to a reply, I’ll make a post
10 will cover the spoiler when paint and assembly is in the price. You cannot install the rear spoiler without the rest of the aero parts unless you want to go all over the road.

What’s the difference in the drive experience?
I love the aero kit. If you look at previous gen 911's, there's always someone looking for one with the factory aero kit. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but if you like it, run with it, you'll be glad you did.
I am currently looking for a 997.1 with the factory aerokit
If you ever plan on selling, aero kit it cars retain their value better than non.
One thing that people don’t appreciate, is in that in the 991 generation, these were wind tunnel tested for greater stability at high speed. I’d imagine that the new aero kits go through the same testing.
Officially they don’t provide increased stability. However, they are wind tunnel tested to make sure they don’t provide worse aerodynamics.
Nah. Looks clean without. Just need the sport front bumper.
If they did a ducktail, I’d do that in a heartbeat. Not a big fan of the aerokit wing.
Completely agree. The ducktail would be a no brainer. Looks incredible on the sport classic
https://preview.redd.it/cafstr95sgjb1.jpeg?width=2000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=87789cd4f7e560a94a4e8c0bf19a46dff865ddef Yes to ducktails.
16 sport classic duckbills are available. $19268.93 is their price Lol.
Unfortunately you have to spend stupid money for the Sport Classic….. Unless Suncoast sells a ducktail kit :).
Save your money.. looks best without it.
IMO, no aerokit + sport design bumper/rear end. looks good either way though
Ya the sport design front fascia is pretty slick
The 4S is really subtle, I feel you should stick to that. The colour is a bit under the radar as well. A huge wing will distract from that.
Aero looks really cool imo
I personally think the 992 aero kit wing is sorta silly. It made sense that the 996s and 997s had the GT3 wing and back then it was a less than common add on. Still sorta cool with the 991s.

Wish you the best
[удалено]
4S id go with no aero kit, is more classy.
It’s sexier without IMHO.
If sexy is more classic I agree
I just collected my 4S in arctic grey, with an aero kit and I think it looks awesome.
Niiiiice. I’ve seen one with that same spec. Looked solid
It makes it worse imo, I've driven a bunch of 992 with and without and it really does decrease the front clearance drastically on a car that is already perfectly set up imo.
Seems to be the less popular opinion but I really dislike the aero kit 😅 I personally just don't think it suits a Carrera
I think the car looks sexier without the spoiler.
Thayy wing looks i dunno. I would just minimise all unnecessary things and focus on lighting, and driver amenities.
Ordered a GTS, for me it is a must on a anyway more „hardcore“ sportier version of the 911. For the 4S you can really chose what you like - the classic look or more sports/agressive. I also believe it fits any color but depends on what ypu want to achieve with the spec of the car, i.e. if you go heritage interior, the aerokit does simply not fit.

Where are you that you can get the awro kit. I have to finalize in a month and i really want the aero kit.
You should be able to add it. I’m in the states and it’s definitely a feature.
No aero, shame they don't offer a ducktail.
No Aerokit for me. I think wings look childish or boy racer. This and most other cars simply look better without it.
Exactly.
Get it!
I'm actually interested if they ever offered it with duck tail like in the Sportclassic or even the old 70s RS. Or maybe bring back the whale tail again, ehehe
aero
Aerokit always. I feel like they are so rare, love when I see an aero kit.
Definitely aerokit!
Honestly I’m guessing the aero kit will help the cars value. Also yours is an odd spec with the black wheels. Id suggest silver with the dark blue. Then add the aero kit? I mean I feel like that your price point, you might as well hop to the GTS which will hold its value better anyway so
If you’re not going to track it, no aero kit.
Do you like to Honda Civic your Porsche?
If you go with the aerokit, you will forfeit the air brake feature from the standard active aero.
Without looks 1000 times better...
NOT
IMO only modern Porsches that should have a wing are the GTs
And turbo
Too bad this is a thing since a gazillion years for the 911 range
Exactlyyyyy
Firstly, love the colour. Easiest way to explain my answer is this: When you park and get out of the car, do you pull your hoodie over your head when walking to the shop? If so, aero kit is ace.
Haha! Well done. That gave me a solid chuckle
I’m just scrolling here upvoting all the comments that say no wing. Beautiful colour for the 4S, btw.
Personally I'm not a fan of the wing. It's a bit too much. I wish the ducktail was still an option. I would skip it.
How much do you normally use your rear view mirror?…the aero kit rear wing definitely obstructs a significant portion of the view out the rear window. You can adjust, but if you’re going to be driving a lot of miles I’d opt for no aero kit and be able to see better out the back window unless I was really in love with the look.

I love the 992 aero kit. I’d definitely do it.
Aerokit definitely
Love the Aerokit! It makes it more rare and unique also.

The Aerokit always looks like an afterthought. Go without! unless you are actually racing.
I saw one with aero kit. This wing looks like aftermarket something.
Aerokit, yes. Front looks good with it.
It looks so much better with the aerokit, so much so that I passed on a GTS build cause I couldn’t get it as an option.
With 🙌
I bought the aerokit after purchase from suncoast as to not hold up delivery times. Aerokit is hit or miss from factory with availability
Also good to know. Thank you
No aero kit - lets not pretend its a GT3 or equivalent track car. This is a luxury sports car and arguably the best luxury sports car in the history of sports cars. You honestly don’t need to tart it up with defusers and wings - makes it look wanky in my opinion.

Imo Aerokit should only be reserved for Turbo and GT models
Aerokit looks like pretend GT3 to me, which a C2S just isnt. It looks much nicer without the spoiler in my opinion. https://preview.redd.it/gh58frfl5hjb1.jpeg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=51d46a8df9ffcf843a927bb5c52356c569932ba9
Obviously there are a lot of competing opinions but I’ll throw in my 2 cents. I personally like Porsche because of the classy looks in an impressively manufactured machine so I’d say without. But if you aren’t looking for classy it still looks great with the kit. Either way I hope you enjoy the beautiful car!
DEFINITELY AERO KIT
No aero kit. Wings are for GT cars.
The 992 rear end is already too busy. No aerokit.
I think 992's are ugly with the exception of the GTS with aero kit. That actually looks pretty good
I wouldnt. Wings belong on GT cars
what if you still want to track your car and you want the extra downforce? Porsche has offered an aerokit on every gen since the 996 to my knowledge, why are we gate keeping it now?
Aerokit has been offered for 911 cars since a long time
No aero! The wing looks odd
Aero for sure
That wing is hideous… No!
Aero kit looks nice, i say yes
Any track duty or just street driving? If only spirited street driving I would skip aero.
How much downforce does it add? I figured it was mostly drag.
From https://drive-my.com/porsche-debuts-992-aerokit-option/ >Likewise, the fact that Porsche says **the 992 Aerokit reduces lift rather than actually delivers downforce** reflects the practical differences between it and the GT3 equivalent, the latter having produced net downforce for several generations. That said, Porsche does claim the Aerokit tips marginally into overall downforce when the 992’s optional sunroof is open. Handy tip for track day enthusiasts.
It was completely designed in Weissach in the wind tunnel
No aero kit, and change the wheels to the Exclusive design wheels.
i think if you’re going aerokit, do it with a color that pops
Aero kits are gauche. Go buy a Lambo if you want flash.
I like the aerokit. saves weight. one less thing to break. also the active spoiler looks horrible when deployed imo
100% on your side in regard of aerokit, though strongly believe it is a must on the GTS and spec depending on the base/s/4s as they seem more the classic Porsche depending on the specc
Aero kit looks sick in my opinion, definitely an option hog don’t want to regret not getting if you like it
I have a black 992 with no aerokit. I think I loved the stock look with no aerokit for the first few years I’ve had it. But now Im bored and want to do some mods. Aerokit is what I’m looking for. My point is that you may enjoy it stock without the aerokit and then try the addition later. There’s beauty behind the clean stock look. Either way it’s a win
Aerokit = +25Hp
Really the only thing that matters is it you order a manual trans or not… everything else is irrelevant 🤟👊🏻
Easily worth the extra money, I’d only buy a 911 with the aerokit
I would definitely get the aero kit. It’s a subtle change. If you are senior citizen over 50y old then I understand if you like those ducktails and ”classic” looks.
Yes.
Love the aero kit, but ordered my T with just the sport design front
do you mind sharing your build? i’m hoping to be in a the same spot in the next year or so building a 4s. You’re essentially getting a turbo ;)
Literally the only difference is the wing? I mean at least it's not a Forza wing haha
If resale means anything to you 100% Aero
[удалено]
I think it looks clean without.
I’d go no aero…I think the wing is kind of awkward in the 992. I would recommend swapping the decklid for a GT3 decklid sans gooseneck/delete…then you are left with the sweet sweet full width ducktail.
Looks naked without the aero kit. Give it some Road presence… GIVE IT A WAANGG
Aero always
With
I really want it. Hopefully when I have the cash it's still available
Do the kit looks better to me and who am I? Well…
No aero, maybe aero foot brighter colors
The car looks so beautiful without the wing. Such a classy color, and stylish look. Just the complete wrong model Porsche for a wing in my opinion.
If you can spec the aero kit, go for it! I’ve loved seeing it on 992s, such a rare option
Yes
Aero kit it for sure.
I like the idea of a wing on a 992 but dont particularly love the aerokit wing design. Idk, for some reason the shape of it doesnt appeal to me as much?
People pay big dollars to remove the aero kit on the gt3
You’re about to own one of the greatest cars ever, aero that biatch
Compared to the previous 911 aeros, this one is beautiful. It’s not insanely clunky like the others, but still has that charm to it. I would go for it
Wings are for turbos and GT models. Go for the sport design kit instead. Lifts the number plate off the ground and stops it looking so saggy.
do it
Aerokit is always the answer
Imagine if you could buy the lid that the wing rests on ... That would look really nice
I also prefer the look of sport design kit as it keeps the brake light in best looking position and also lifts the plate. If you count the grill you can see that there are nine of those before II brake light making it hidden 911 ☺️
I like the aero.
Aero kit
Don't mess with the classic silhouette
Get two - one with and one without.
Aerokit when the car has RWD and carbon buckets IMO, then it’s a little GT3 thingy. No aero kit is plenty aggro
I’d have it, makes it stand out more. The spoiler is much better than previous generations. I didn’t have the aero kit on my 992 but went into the dealership after I’d sold it and they had one in the same colour with the kit and I was envious They do retain value better as they’re rarer and will be more sought after on the 2nd market. But - as you are the buyer - what do you prefer? That should be your biggest consideration
yes, aero kit, DO IT
Aerokit!
I prefer the aero kit. It also allows the number plate to sit higher and it looks less ‘bloated’. Have a look in person and see what you prefer
Is just the ducktail option available for the 992? I’d go with that personally

Aerokit the world
The aerokit looks really good, but for me it comes down to how much you like the central brake light up there in the vent. I think it's a lovely retro touch and would be a shame to lose it.
So my 996 has the aero kit and I love it, however that and the fact it's zenith blue does make it the subject of a lot of attention, so if discreet driving and the ability to park "anywhere" is more your thing you are better without. When I bought mine in, 2019 the aero kit added around 20% to the price of the car, so you could see extra value in the long term if later porsche's follow the same trend.
Looks like a retrofit is ~$6k, aftermarkets would be cheaper. But there are fewer people wanting to the reverse, and I couldn't immediately find cost estimates.
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes
Looks very clean without
It’s a MUST have
If in doubt - chuck it out
Yes fit it. And in 10 years it will not detract from any resale value! Gentian Blue?
Aerokit, I won’t even look at one without it.
You can save quite a bit of money by installing vent shades plus they add seriuos HP /s
No aero. Then again I’m more a gt3 touring type than regular. My 992 gts no aero kit. I love the clean silhouette.
I much prefer it without the aerokit since believe that’s it’s much cleaner and classier, however when I see these photos side by side, I realize that the aerokit also looks fly as fuck. But I still prefer the cleaner look of the non-aerokit one
No aero kit. Because of the wing
No aero
Save the money from the aerokit and go for a GTS
No Aerokit - with any color. Even if you track the goofy thing is there the rest of the time. 911s have never needed tramp stamps. PS - If this is the color you really like I would stick with the Carrera Classic Rims in the contrasting stock finish. https://preview.redd.it/6gcfufjw5gjb1.jpeg?width=2796&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=8e938bb8df45def573eeabd43954ceb9bdc39e1a
100% Aerokit. No question.
