Default Aero Kit Front Bumper Only... ok?

I like the aero kit front bumper, but don't think I want to go with the wing too. I know Porsche recommends not installing one without the other.
Just wondering if there is any validity to that warning, or if it would maybe only be noticed at high speeds... and how might the cars characteristics change?
Has anyone installed only the front bumper before?... any noticable changes?

This has probably been discussed 4.543 million times.

The field is divided but science says you shouldn't do one without the other is the short answer. You won't get any help here because half will say yes and the other half will say no.

The bottom line is that you probably won't feel the difference but you are, one way or another, upsetting the balance. If it's a show only thing then you probably don't drive the car hard anyways, just do the bumper. If you're doing it for the aero, do it right.

Pages and pages of debate will ensue but I have covered the basics.

No you're not. You're saving them for me when my wife lifts the embargo on my Porsche spending.

OK Adam, I have not listed them anywhere yet. How about 50% + shipping now and 50% in two months.

To OP: Sorry for hijack

To Andrew: Saw a red C2 just like mine with the aero kit. Drooooool.... Goodness it's gorgeous...
Sadly, I don't like the couch so at the moment there is still a spending freeze. Good news is that Porsche is covering my clutch.

Tell your wife that you had to pay X for the clutch, where X = the cost of the parts that andrewdr is selling. Problem solved!
