Aero 1 front bumper and skirts for now. Can't make up my mind on the wing. I would like to find some parts and use the turbo top wing piece, but haven't figured out how to do it. I know the deck is too wide, but I really think just the top piece would look great if I could figure a way to mount it. I will wind up getting the Taco wing if I can't find a way.

I have several other mods I'm going to do as soon as the body shop is though with it. Silver gauge faces, alum rubber insert pedals, Bird Automotive console. I'm waffling on the silver lower console. It's here, but the more I look at it the less I want it. I have CF steering wheel, shift ****. I should probably just bite the bullet and put in CF upper and lower console instead

That's what I did.... Sold my Boxta and found the 996! Should have done it a year ago. As my friends say.... "Now you have a real Porsche"

Maybe someone can correct me but I think one of these companies ( nr auto, betterbodies, getty design, MA shaw etc) makes a lid with fix turbo blade. It's not retractable so it looks like its always rised.

Thats exactly what I want to do. I bought the top wing off a guy for nothing and thought i could come up with some mounting brackets to make it work. I can but nothing that doesn't look rigged

I don't about doing it yourself since you would need some kind of duck tail to mont it on.

Here's the one from nr auto.

Thanks, that is pretty much what I've been looking for. I wasn't going to do it myself anyway. I have a friend with a body shop that will do the work. I can probably buy this one cheaper than he could fabricate something.

Where did you get your Aerokit from? What did it run you? Am looking to add one to my 99 C2 996 but am not sure which maker to go with? I still have the original non-aero look and am looking for my next mod. Any thoughts/suggestions? How did yours turn out?
