Default Carrera T with Aerokit

[Yes this is ridiculous...]

I wish I could configure the $8k Aerokit on a Carrera T. Has anybody done this? The configurator doesn't offer the Aerokit on the Carrera T, so it seems the only way is to buy the $4,895 OEM part from Suncoast, have someone paint it and have someone else install it. So much work! Is there any workaround or better option I'm missing?

I know I could just spec an S with Aerokit for probably the same price
I know I could just spec a GTS with Aerokit for probably a little bit more
But I really just want a T with Aerokit!

Only 2023 T's had access to the aerokit, and even that was spotty, there were stop sales all the time. 2024's lost access to the aerokit but gained the carbon buckets. The only way to have a '24 with aero is to buy from a dealer, or aftermarket like Suncoast.

The wing on Suncoast: https://www.suncoastparts.com/produc...2aerowing.html
(I'd spec the Carrera T with Sport Design, which is the other half of the Aerokit)

Don’t do it. Fake GT3s aren’t well received.

Wing == Gt3 imposter now? Weird that I thought the wingless touring version of the GT3 was actually the most desirable one, dating back to the '06 911R.

Shrimpy such a hater. Maybe needs to get to the gym more often to work out that hate.

One bit of advice - you do you with your Porsche. Get the aero package if you like it. More smiles for more miles.

That's funny that there are people like you who think this when the factory aero kit was offered as early as the 993 which is before any GT3 model.

Looks like @shrimp money forgot to turn on the sarcasm font when posting again. I highly recommend some of the various aerokit threads.

The Aero kit was stopped on 1/26/2023. I know because my order was finalized on 1/24/2023. I was prepared to walk away if I didn't get the Aero kit. I'm fond of wings and tacos.

"Aero kits" have been an option on "normal" 911s since before they were called "Aero Kits". As early as the late 70's I believe, at least ROW. And most definitely an option everywhere from MY 1984 onwards. Early days I believe the added aero was more needed to reduce excessive lift. Perhaps far less needed today as the car's aerodynamics have evolved so much, but many like the look. It's not just a GT3 thing.

Peeps… these Ts with AeroKits are absolutely bonkers incredible!!!!! Just fantastic looking cars.

Thank you for the replies, photos and pointing out that Ts could have AeroKits not long ago. I’ll keep my eyes peeled for a ‘23 if I don’t go the DIY MY24 route.

Does anybody know if ‘23 was the only model year? Anybody know about ‘19-‘22?
