Gorgeous color and nicely done! Added satisfaction especially with a DIY. The painted bumperettes would really tie it all together perfectly. Call Eric!

Yeah, the gurney lip and the bumperettes would be nice. My only hesitation on the bumperettes is that I kind of like the idea of keeping those things stock. By my prior boxsters had non-painted bumperettes, and both were "tapped" (once in a drive thru, and once in a left-turn lane), and both times they came out with no damage. I've already added the front spoiler lip since these pics were taken!

Calicoupe, the wing is adjustable. It also came with the wiring harness and the grill inserts (which I have yet to install).

It is adjustable, just differenty than the OEM....

I will say that MA Shaw's rear wing is very nice, and when painted/installed by a qualified body shop looks completely OEM.....

Scott.... welcome to the MKI Aero club... your car looks great.

Adjustibility is the same....... The "shims" that you will use are different than the OEM wing.

Would love to come to the OCR events... Are they still running them ? From what I can see there is not much of the runway left...

Send me a Pm on the OCR info....

Thanks

I know I need to lower it, but I'm already scraping around town a bit. I've been thinking about going to the mo30 setup...since my car is pushing 80k miles and I'm probably due for new shocks anyway.

I love the aerokit on the 996! I wouldn't have it any other way!
Now you need to finish her off with some OEM GT3 wheels! I have mine for sale (cheap) so PM me if interested!

regards,

Juha

Ps. Time to update your sig!
