Default Possible Spoiler Install

I am thinking of adding this spoiler on my 997s along with side skirts and a front spoiler. I spoke with the local dealer and they can do the paint and install for me. Has anyone done one like this before. also has anyone done any aftermarket aero parts made by nrauto they are in california. Thanks

i personally dont like that wing, it was originally made for the 996 cab, so i dont know why people started putting it on the 996 coupe then the 997.
but wings are personal preference, after having mine on for a year I am starting to admire the cars that are wingless.
mine is installed in a similar way, replaces just the moving spoiler, i think that is the best way since the decklid has no fitment issues since it is not touched.

I had that wing on my 996 and like it. It was a factory install. Saw it on another car at the dealership, so I ordered one also.

Thinking about getting one for the 997 also, from these same people! Let me know what it costs you. Who, dealerwise, is doing the work?? Reeves??

The 997 Aerokit wing looks better and was designed for the coupe as well. Tested by Porsche!

Just drink Red Bull "it gives you wings", plus it's cheaper than a factory Porsche wing

I think the Porsche Aero Kit is the way to go, but I like factory looking equipment. I know from experience, most of the stuff you buy from the aftermarket needs to have a lot prep work before it can be installed, no matter where you buy it.

If you are looking for a factory aero I just purchased one at Brandywine Porsche, pretty close to cost. Call Jay and see if they have any more.

Yes I talked to reeves about doing an install on mine. They quoted 4 hours labor to install a techart complete kit. Paint cost was extra. They said maybe $2000.00 for paint. That kit had a wing, side skirts and front spoiler. This should be about the same cost. The cost of this kit is $2395.00 through nrauto. That includes wing, skirts and front spolier as well. I looked at the aero kit from porsche but don't like the size of the spoler too big for me, and I dont want to change out the engine lid. So I am thinking of going this way.
