Thanks everyone for sharing your AERO pics..
That option is so much better looking than the stock..
You get that nice 991 Tail as used to appear on the GT3.. and all the sporty good looks...
I wish that was available on the initial 992 launch.. I had a MB 992 and the giant plastic front lower lip was awful and no tail available.. just the wide welping rear end..
The AERO package cleans all that up..
Combine that with Carrera S with RWS and FAL.. you've got the perfect FAST, sporty, drive all day or take to the track car!

Question for those of you with the aerokit... Does the rear wing obscure rear visibility? Or does it sit below the line of sight? Thanks!

My response to this Thread is negative. It is my opinion, that adding the AeroKit to the standard Porsche 992, makes the car look Hokey and Overdone . The 992, in it's standard itineration, is a subtle sleeper of a sports car. Not flashy, like the 2020 Corvette, not pretentious like the McLaren, not overworked, like the Audi R 8. The 992 is the sophisticated man's choice, who has arrived, but has nothing to prove . His vehicle is an extension of himself. His choice of a Porsche is an intelligent, all be it rather expensive, choice for his personal conveyance. Porsche's design clearly exemplifies it's understated nature compared to the so called, "competition" . Given that, what is gained by placing this gaudy and questionable performing shelf on the butt of this beauty ?
However, if the purchaser has the financial wherewithal to own the remarkable 2021 Porsche Turbo S, it's rear wing is compact and more aesthetic than the AeroKit, and, is powered to respond to,the lusty 3.8 liter engine. The performance side vents, the Ceramic Brakes and the considerable improvement in speed and operating behavior over the standard 3.0 liter engine, warrent the addition of this movable rear wing. . The designers result is remarkable in that it reflects the muscularity of the model, but reins in any pretentiousness of the result. The Turbo S is recognized as being special, by other Porsche aficionados, but is largely ignored by the general public who is easily awed by the severely flawed and uninspired 2020 Corvette. Precision, attention to detail, durable engineering, makes driving a Porsche an event that is not there to impress but to hone the skills of the privileged owner.
Therefore I say, pass on the AeroKit.
I await the expected scathing retort from my fellow
Wish I could afford this model even though I am happy with my C4S

Am I right. If you get the Aerokit the wing has a RED third light, even when you opt for the Clear Taillight option. Seems like a misstep there.
All the reason to not go clear taillight when going aerokit.

I'm sure this has already been stated on this thread (I'm just not seeing it). However, if you were able to get the Aero Kit on your 992, consider yourself one of the fortunate ones!
Apparently, it has been discontinued (although the site still shows it available). Multiple dealerships are reporting that Porsche was only doing a short run
of Aero Kit cars.
I barely got mine in (knock on wood that the order doesn't get canceled). I ordered mine in late December for a May delivery. Hopefully, I made it under the deadline
for the Aero Kit.
