How many people purchased the Factory Aerokit?

Sneaky Pete

I bought my car without the kit. I added the kit from Suncoast.

Before and after

Yeah to Aero and 3 inches of ground clearance. Google Street View is my friend. Lol.

Wow!!! they both look great, it's like night and day...did Suncoast have it in stock or did they have to place the order in Germany? How long did it take to receive the kit?

Sneaky Pete

Suncoast told me that they don't stock this however they order it from Porsche AG. Porsche makes "x" amount of kits when the demand calls for it and sells those off. When I ordered mine it was the last of 2 remaining before they would do another run of the kit. For me it took 1 month....if it was not in stock at Porsche it would take upwards to 8-10 months from what I recall.

I would call the folks at Suncoast and check the availability. Aldo has always been a great guy to deal with.

Factory Aerokit....may be my next mod....

Mine was factory.

But adding it afterwards gets you the very same thing as factory (Go through Suncoast or similar).

Except...perhaps the value. I would think a factory optioned car might be worth more in some buyers eyes.

Oh god. Here we go.

Suncoast told me it would take 8 -10 weeks for kits with headlight washers, they are charging $4995 plus $275.00 shipping. My local dealer will charge me $4900 plus tax..they are trying to get me an ETA..

Here's a little history behind the Aero Kit. Three days after the 997 GT3 Cup was shown at the Porsche Parafe in Bahrain, the Aerokit was introduced for the coupé-bodied 911 Carrera and Carrera S. The Aerokit consisted of a GT3 Cup-style front spoiler and a different rear spoiler (a year later to be used on the GT3 street version).

So as you can see the 911 Carrera and Carrera S received the Aerokit first, so when people say that you're trying to look like a GT3 that's not correct, it was designed for the 911 Carrera and Carrera S first.

I literally have no idea anymore if comments about value are legit feedback (they actually mean it), or a long-running joke (don't use your A/C; it'll lower the resale value).

Until I am sure, I leave my car parked in the garage... Except for...

Except for the times I am tinkering with exhaust setups (d'oh! There goes resale value!)

Except for the time I added aluminum pedals (all four = big hit to resale value).

Except for the intake I bought (Dagnammit! Lowered the resale value again)

Except for the respray of my front Aero bumper and lip spoiler (Crap. My car is now worthless).

Now I can drive it again! Woohoo! (As long as it's not encountering anything greater than 3" in height, which specifically lowers resale value for Aero Kit cars.)

I hear you. But there are crazy porsche people out there who only like their cars perfect and encased in bubbles. Rennlisters even. God forbid we track them!

Tracking and scraping the front bumper with an aerokit car- requiring buying a new bottom lip
