Question Is there such a thing as an MK II aero non-GT3?

This may be a dumb question, but I have never seen one, was there an option?

And yes, I DAFS!

Ah man, if there is, I would hold out for one for sure!

Yes, I understand you can put them on an MK II, but did come as an option like the MK I aero's?

Let me clarify:

1. You could order a '99-'01 996's with the MK I GT3 aero package. (I had one)
2. Were there '02-'04 996's with the MK II GT3 aero packages from the factory as an option? I have never seen one.

I do not see any Aerokits offred in the 2002MY Guide, just the flared rockers. (That my car has)
However, I was pretty sure there was an Aerokit II offered???

I'm pretty sure the answer is no. When I was racing my stock class 996 I was allowed to use any wing available as a factory option. Like everyone else, I ran the taco assuming it was ok. One winter I went through all the 2002-forward order guides to see what else I might be able to do to the car. To my surprise neither the MKI or the MKII were ever an option after 2001 which meant my wing was illegal. I think they changed the rule to make it ok later.

I didn't think they made one. I guess it wasn't a dumb question afterall?

I wonder why they stopped for the MKII? They would of sold those like hotcakes IMO.

Here is what I had: 2002 C2. I was the first owner. The car was a PDE car and what you see is how it came from PCNA.


Quick Reply: Is there such a thing as an MK II aero non-GT3?
