Definitely a fair price from Rose Passion. I also waited almost a year but sourced all OEM aero parts for my 996.1. Only (1) part I had to source from Porsche directly (brand new) was the drivers side, side skirt. Couldn’t seem to find a used one in good condition anywhere! It was well worth the wait sourcing everything oem in my opinion, fitment and finish were excellent and an easy retrofit.
Ended up going with an OEM aerokit1 front bumper from Rose Passion in France - still the cheapest option despite shipping. Thanks Ninewonwon for the tip! Off to body shop for paint.
Sleepy what was time from order placement to receipt in CA? My car's going into shop in a few weeks and current plan is to rehab the cracked and pitted bumper: I am tempted to buy new. Thanks for sharing this, always have been curious about Rose Passion.
Can someone in this thread who has done the swap tell me if all these parts listed are required for smoothest installation?
Thanks!
This is the list for a 996.1 aero front, correct? Don’t know why the list has so many sheet metal screws. All the important pieces from GT3 PET are there. Most everything other than expansion rivets and bumper cover/spoiler lip, transfer from your regular cover. You also need some 3M tape for the lip.
@hatchetf15 Yes, this came from the 996 "Installing Cup Aerokit" pdf. And I think I am going to hold off on the front lip initially.
Thanks for the heads up!
I’d skip the expanding rivets and use bolts/nuts. That’s how I damaged one of my 996.2 aerokit lips.
I now run the Cup car lip.
It’s more flexible.
Porsche has discontinued them, but Demon Speed is making them now.

Hi, do you know if they actually shipped any final product? I was just over on that thread and looks like it's been about a month since an update was shared. I want one. Thanks!
I just bought the GT3 front splitter about a month ago. I do know that they had quite a bit of demand for both the GT3 and Cup splitter. They were very accessible by phone and email to answer questions.

FYI - ordered the air inlet noted above and test fit - it does not fit the aerokit front bumper. No tabs for the clips to lock on to. And there is minimal to no space between the bumper cover and the rubber ducts to the radiators anyway.
