Default 997.1 Aerokit Rear Spoiler Delete?

Hi guys, I'm looking at picking up a used 997.1 and there are a few that seem to be really good deals but they all have the aerokit which, at least the rear wing is totally not my style and so was wondering where I could pick up the parts to replace it with the stock rear deck? (just to make sure we are on the same page, this is what I'm looking at replacing: http://www.mashaw.com/Graphics/AerotailbaseWN1.JPG.jpg )
I've seen it done to a turbo but I just don't know where to get the parts, thanks in advance!

EDIT: Just to be clear, I don't own a 997 right now but am looking to buy one, and many of the cars I'm looking at purchasing have the factory aero kit, which I would like to replace with the standard body parts (the deck lid). I'm looking for a company or website that sells OEM porsche body parts pretty much.

Many have replaced the factory motorized spoiler with something else so there may be many available in various colors.
Have you posted in the parts section?

You will need to buy a used turbo deck lid, new wiring, and have the dealer recode to turbo wing.
I have seen turbo deck lid and wing sold for $1,500 to $3,000 on this forum. Also, try eBay.

What color is your car? I've got a GT Silver that I'd trade you the stock rear deck for a Aerokit rear deck...

This is what I was thinking. Find someone with the same color that wants the spoiler and do a parts swap.

Thanks for the replies guys, I guess I wasn't super clear in the original post, I'll edit it. I don't own a 997 right now but am looking to buy one, and many of the cars I'm looking at purchasing have the factory aero kit, which I would like to replace with the standard body parts (the deck lid).
So do you think there would be a fair number of people willing to swap the aero deck lid for the regular one?
