Default Question on Aerokit

If the Cayman has an integrated/hidden spoiler that automatically deploys at speed, if you configure a Cayman with the Aerokit option, does the spoiler in the Aerokit replace the integrated spoiler?

Is there any real benefit to the Aerokit option for someone planning spirited street driving, non track use? From the limited photos on the configurator, it is hard to tell what this is adding besides the rear spoiler and some front underside "chin" extensions....certainly not enough photos to visualize the "Substantially reduces entry angle to gradients" warning.

Anyone have this option on their Cayman and can reflect a bit?

Thanks.

Did some digging on this and wanted to post what I found in case anyone else was wondering. The Aerokit is made up of the longer splitters up front and a fixed rear wing in back. The auto-deploying stock spoiler is disabled with the addition of the Aerokit. On a non track car, the benefits of the kit are cosmetic.
