this is a good point. I wonder how many lives were lost due to people checking the aero kit box?

Well, I rolled the dice and changed to the carbon buckets...freeze/delivery date stayed the same and TYD reflects the change, and continues to show Aerokit. Whew!

Has anyone recently had success with Aerokit production build or to be able to add to their order for an upcoming build soon? I had a Carrera Allocation and Freeze Date of January 10th in which my original order in September accepted adding the aerokit but then had to be removed as was no longer available prior to my freeze date. I then swapped my allocation the day before my freeze date to now become Feb 28th freeze date but still no aerokit availability. My SA is indicating Porsche corporate has no updates and will not indicate if and when it will be available. I am really hoping it becomes available again prior to Feb. 28th. I did recently see someone post in the waiting for 992 thread a Jan. 14th prod build with pictures that had the aerokit. So I am confused to why it is not available for my build and Porsche is not able to identify and communicate a date. Does anyone have any recent insight?
Thank you.

I got one with the aero kit. My SA is actually perplexed that it got approved all the way through. I did have some hiccups with dates changing, but the build never got kicked back.

May- allocation awarded
Sept- order created
Oct 22- freeze date
Nov 9- production scheduled
Nov 19 - production started
Dec 14 - production complete

Now the car is on the Siem Cicero , offload port of Houston.
TYD says Jan 28th into Houston, but i think it will be delayed for weather.

cheers,

It’s allocation based. NAVS’ allocation was from May, so his snuck in. All allocations from 7/1/20-on are affected by the stop-sale. Your 2/28/21 allocation likely won’t get the AeroKit either as dealers are projecting availability right before summer, but whether or not Porsche’s rear wing provider can meet demand is anybody’s guess. Don’t continue to push out your build. You’re going to get stuck in the same cycle I’ve been in since last May. My car is finally set to be produced on Friday; my original allocation was from May 2020. I kept pushing it out hoping the AeroKit would become available and it never did.


P.S. Current GTS allocations with build dates later in the year have AeroKits for now. Whether or not all of them become/remain V200 come lock date remains to be seen.

Thank you, that's a bummer. I really was hoping to get the aerokit. I was expecting chip shortages to be the cause of any delay and not the wing.

Any production images??

My current May lock, June build, Aug delivery GTS has the Aerokit. I’ve made a few changes to the build and everything took and the dates did not change. Unfortunately, like previously stated, things can change if predicted availability changes. Here’s hoping they don’t!

NOPE!

i’m bummed, but I’ll get it soon enough. Here’s my Carmine Red, aero kit, CF roof.

You’re lucky. My car, which locks in April, build June, deliver August, is still not being accepted with aerokit. It all seems very up in the air still.

Ah, but mine is not a GTS.

M3Inline6

Yeah, Porsche is only allowing what limited supply they have for GTS buyers. Even with that considered, not all GTS’ are being accepted with the AeroKit. My dealer had a few that were declined.

TN_3

Were the ones that were rejected post 4/22 builds?

Please post pictures once you take delivery! I see you spec'd the painted side skirts...there was a lot of discussion about the front lip spoiler being painted or not. According to a Porsche rep the front lip on the GTS, even with Aerokit, will be matte black.

M3Inline6

I will find out for you.
