Post 996 C2 with Aerokit pics?

Was hoping someone could post a pic of a 996 C2 with the factory Aerokit. I know this is fairly rare option and costly (about $7,900) but was hoping someone who had one and could be kind enough to post a pic.

Also, do you think it is worth this extra money to get the aerokit on a 996 C2?

TIA.

I have the factory aerokit on my Cab..or at least what was sold as the aerokit when I bought the 02 C4 Cab. Mine was a 9/01 build so the front was stock and theaerokit consisted of flared roackers and the rear wing. I've since put a different front and rear bumper on but the wing and rockers are OEM. I think it was around $5K, but I wanted Factory OEM.

I found a couple of original pics..

Thanks, the pics look great!

Looks a little like the GT3 side rockers. Love the rear spoiler as well.

Not sure if it's worth almosy $8k but at least it makes the car more rare.

Cheers!

99 996 Ocean Blue was aftermarket using Porsche parts. 01 C4 Wimbledon Green was factory order.

Thanks all for the pics. Very nice look to the car IMO.

I think it's worth the extra money as it gives the standard Carrera a more determined look.

OK these pics definitely have me sold on the factory aerokit.

Perhaps the resale on factory aerokit 996's will be better than without it justifying the extra cost

In any case, I love the look!

I agree on the resale value. I bought mine used and checked on a few without the aero kit and they were all a few bucks cheaper that the aero models.

Here is my 99 model with the GT3 spats behind the rear wheels. Aftermarket install with factory parts... still would do better to get it done at the factory
