Default Anyone Removed/Replaced Aerokit Wing

I'm looking at a 992GTS that has the aerokit. I'm not loving the wing but everything else about the car is a perfect spec for me. Most importantly, I could have it today rather than waiting for an allocation.

Has anyone removed the aerokit from their car? I assume you'd need the motor actuator and programming for the regular wing? Not sure about wiring harnesses etc etc.

There’s a lot of folks that want it, especially painted in a color that matches their car.

@zachr might have an old wing and components to sell you.

Someone will definitely want to swap!

What color is your new car?

Unfortunately it's not my car yet.

I need to get a feel for how much of a project I'm going to step into for the conversion before I buy. If it's going to throw codes, require extensive wiring or programming, I'm not interested. The hardware swap is relatively easy assuming parts are interchangeable which I think they are based on other RL threads.

I might consider a parts swap, or I might hang the wing in garage for some wall art so I can go back to stock when I sell it.

It’s not easy at all, and requires some complex re-wiring/splicing the harnesses, a different metal under carriage and motor base, the dual 3rd brake lamps and different grill slat plate, and of course a regular active spoiler to replace it with, which I don’t know where you’d find.

Its a gigantic and expensive undertaking; don’t even think about it

You're awesome! Thx for the info. I don't have much time to decide on the purchase so you're a lifesaver.

I'll either decide to live with the wing or run away and look at other cars.

Contrary to the GT3 police on here, pleaseee get the car and the wing. I retrofitted it on my car and it’s stunning. It gets too much attention but I don’t mind that (I know many don’t prefer that). Maybe you’ll come to feel the same over time lol.

I miss the days of walking into a dealership and having a few cars to choose from! It's slowly going to return to normal but it won't be this year.

I don't love the wing. Don't hate it either. Time for a beer followed by a sleep to make a decision.

i called a dealership today about an EV SUV for my wife. A dealer I have a relationship with. List is 150 names long. He said I'd be looking at Q1 or Q2 2025 to get a 2024 model. That's not normal.

Update for future people with this question. A dealership quoted over $20k for them to convert aero kit wing to OEM spoiler. 😱

Seriously - You can get it for vastly cheaper b/c there are more than few people on this forum who would gladly trade with you. Just have to coordinate and be within driving distance. Heck you can even charge $2K or $3K for the wing to help defray the cost of moving their adjustable wing over to your car and they would pay to move your aerokit wing to their car.
