When is your allocation month? I will get April allocation. I found someone is able to select the aero kit and he got the March allocation.


stops until 2021/01. Any recently order?

You're talking about after market rear fascia? Yeah, I might do that. I do love those side wings and the moved up license plate.

Put 10k deposit down at the end of Jan. Dealer said they were hoping for a C4S allocation this month ( Feb ) but I'm not holding my breath. 😛
They did say the next available allocation was mine.

You're talking about getting the rear fascia separately + painting? I might do that.
No, I'd say the front would be more problematic. I was thinking more along the lines of parking under a tree that happened to dump a bunch of leaves in there.

Oh true. Parking under a tree might trap a bunch of stuff. Hadn't thought about that! As for the rear bumper, I was thinking you could just order the sport design rear bumper.

It is all about what an individuals choices just like life....we love the Aero Kit and Lava Orange which are two of the most controversial options, but we get more positives comments than negative. Already won a Best of Show at our local car show.

Love that combination, gorgeous car! I started with Lava Orange + Aero, but was having rouble deciding what interior colors matched well besides black/gray because I wanted a little more color.

Would it be possible to retrofit the Turbo spoiler to a Carrera? Was that ever done on the 991?

I'm hoping the mini duck-lip from the GT3 will bolt on - although I'm not sure how the ducting/airflow works with the standard Carrera engine cover.

Love the Aero though originally didn't. Love the Exclusives w Satin Black accents. Really the only way to spec that wheel IMHO. But not a fan of the fact that the Aero forces you to get the Sport Design Rear Bumper. Not digging the plate moved up.

I wouldn't go Lava Orange but looks great. I went Gentian instead of Midnight Blue or Chalk, mainly because I wanted something with more pop than white or chalk would offer.

I think the 992 Aero kit looks perfectly fine on a base or S model. Heck I would get it on a GTS model if it was a choice. This idea that the big wings needs ONLY be on a GT3 or Turbo is just silly. There is nothing BASE about a 911 period. Beside prior to the 992, I personally thought the 991 turbo models where ugly. The 992 turbo with sport kit looks ugly to me too (normal 992 turbo no sport kit is best turbo Ive liked yet). Id rather have this aero kit on a turbo than the turbo sport kit. And Im not sure I like the new GT3 wing more than this either now that I think about it.
