I just traded my 996 aerokit car for a 991 S and I'm immediately wondering what aerokit options are available for the 991. If you install the ducktail, does that still allow the spoiler to raise and lower?

There are two factory Porsche Tequipment options: Aerokit (top image) which is just the ducktail. And Aerokit Cup which is the ducktail with a wing blade on top (bottom image).

Both are fixed wings so they dont move. The motor and actuator assembly that moves the stock wing is removed when installing these kits. You also replace the wing-button in the center console with a blank (not included) and replace the sunroof control module (if equipped) with one that allows less tilt as the duck/wing changes the aerodynamic properties of the car.

Great answer - thanks - that's just what I was looking for. I would not have predicted the sunroof comment, as that wasn't m modified in the 996.

Not really necessary, but you know the Germans...

Yeah, well, the entire fixed wing concept isn't really necessary on the street, but we still love it.

I'd be tempted to leave the sunroof alone if I install the aerokit on this car

I did the same.. Aerokit Cup, but dropped the module.

Has anyone gotten one of these lately? The one I ordered from Suncoast on Jan 13th is still backordered.

I have tracked mine without the module and I have yet to flip over or explode. It's really not necessary.

I figured. I had a big *** aerokit wing on my 996 and it made no difference with or without the sunroof open and I've got to admit that I hate to modify the operation of the roof. Nice to know it's safe to leave it alone.
