No reason to argue - very personal choice. I like it but rest of family does not so I decided against adding it. Just like many other choices like color, sport bumper, seats, wheels…

It's true, 50% of people likely have a terrible sense of style. They can't be saved. Come to the other side and get the kit.

Its not the size of the brakes that matter, its the motion in the ocean..... May have confounded something there

Is your dealership offering you the wing at the original +/- $2k price or the newly inflated +/- $5k price? If it's the former, get it.......but if it's the latter, I would pass. I, too, ordered the Sport Design kit and planned to add the wing at a later time. At $2k it was priced perfectly, but with a more than double price increase, it just isn't worth it.

I totally feel the same. 5k is a bit too steep.

Got rolled into at 2023 with recent delays, con: lost my European delivery date and obvious delay. Pros: my2023 with no cost increase. Aerokit is now available for 2023 models. European delivery in spring. I am most excited about the aerokit being available and would have chosen a delay to get it. I love the classic look of the 911 without a wing but love it more with a wing. Not really sure why people call owners with a wing "GT3 wanna be's" or "GT3 posers". This is an option offered by Porsche, I am not ordering if off a Chinese website or slapping a GT3 logo on my car. I like an aggressive looking sports car. I guess I am also a "Turbo Poser" because my gts is available with turbo wheels and brakes and center locks. Get what you like and you will always be happy. I just did a track weekend and saw a lot of cars with the Porsche sticker on the bottom. They looked awesome but on this forum there are people that will say never put a sticker on your Porsche. It is like unusual paint colors, I am not sure I could do it but I LOVE when I see one in a non standard color like python green. Go for the wing and don't look back!!! (especially because of the obstructed view caused by the wing in your rear view mirror )

All sport cars have wings, and not because they are gt3 wannabees. The last thing i think about when i look at my 992 with wing is the gt3. Actually think it looks much better than the gt3 in person. Pictures dont do it justice. What i do find really dumb is that thing that pops up on non aero kit 992s.

I never understood the “poser” thing either. The wing looks NOTHING like the GT3 wing. If Someone wanted to “pose” as a GT3, wouldn’t they use the gt3 wing? Or a replica? In what world would you try to emulate something with parts that look completely different? When I think poser I picture a fiero with a Ferrari body kit…
