aftermarket rear spoilers
As much as I enjoy my 997 (in capital letters) I am not a fan of the pop up spoiler and looking to change it out. Who has gone to either the factory Aero kit or an aftermarket replacement for the pop up and would you show pictures of you choice. Thanks

I have always thought of a 911 as a coupe with a spoiler. I guess it was all the early cars I fell in love with.
I installed a Getty wing on mine
All I had to do was disconnect the rear light, remove the rear tray and install the wing. Very easy maybe 1/2 hour. The pistons still go up at speed but they go up in the wing risers.

Why did you leave the pistons and motor from the OEM? Removing them would save some weight.
Is the rear light now in the spoiler?

No image here.
Your dealer can reset the computer so it will not show a code with the rear spoiler disconnected. Looks like a nice instal. I assume there are no cooling issues? It's a little warmer in Texas
I re read your first post and you said you disconnected the rear light, At firt I assumed it was the center tail light but I now think you were talking about a light in the engine area?

Yes. The oem retractable spoiler has a built in light that has to be disconnected. When the oe spoiler rises it blocks the view of the one in the back window.
