will be interesting to see if aero wing is available through pelican , when i mentioned that the wing was no longer available , the parts rep at local dealership seemed surprised claiming it could be replaced - accident etc. who knows ? GOOD LUCK ! if it is you'll have a $$$ decision to make but remember "someday never comes " .
Just went back to Pelican parts and poked around a little bit more...I drilled down and it has a big green available checkmark and says ships in 2 to 6 days...now I really have my fingers crossed. Oddly though they have a ? under the part that says We can't confirm this part will fit your Porsche 2007 911 Turbo Coupe. Anywho I'll give them a call tomorrow and see what they say. Will let you know.
I thought I had read somewhere that the parts could be replaced if damaged only for an original XAF factory build but not if the parts were put on later by an owner.

I also recall reading about people trying to get the OEM wing through Sunset and Suncoast, dealers whose parts departments have a lot of clout with Porsche in Germany, and being told they're officially No Longer Available.

Spoke with Pelican Parts Porsche specialist just now...they say No Go...it is officially discontinued. I will keep looking.
Current Edit: Spoke with my Porsche Dealer (Porsche of Melbourne, Fl.) parts and he said it shows as not orderable. He was nice enough to say he would call Porsche and ask them what they recommend. I asked him what an owner does who wrecks his Aerokit car and he said Good Question and then suggested he call Porsche and get back to me. I will follow up with his update.
thanks to rennlister SKYAK posting the link for this factory wing ,i was able to buy it from seller in pa. just got the car back from paint shop , i don't believe i had ever seen an actual car with the aero kit so i was not sure how it would look. must say that i like it, not too big ( gt 3 etc ) kind of sculptural and goes well with the turbo.
Beautiful, love the wing! BTW, where did you get your black turbo s script? Do you have it painted? I can't seem to locate any online.

thank you, i bought the primered script from the dealer and painted it myself. i used SEM brand paint from an auto paint supply. good quality- durable spray can #39143 "TRIM BLACK ". if you decide to paint the chrome script on your car a hair dryer helps loosen the double back tape using fish line or dental floss to get it off. the problem with reusing the old is you will have to cut small pieces of double back to place on back of the old script but will save you $128 for "turbo" and $ 32 for "s ".

pelican seemed too good to be true although pricey ! interesting to hear what they say about replacing a "wrecked " wing, my guess is one would have to go back to moveable one.

Spoke with my Porsche dealer again...he said Porsche says the part is not available and if you have a wrecked aerokit car you would have to source the rear decklid/wing from a different source or presumably go to another Porsche decklid that would fit.
This is the only aftermarket one I have found: https://nrauto.com/product/porsche-9...gine-lid-wing/
CarID has a painted and unpainted version for sale from D2S but they seem so unsure on what they are actually selling and can't produce a picture that they scared me off.
I should have my car back next week (talked to Sam last nite, he says they got past the issue they were seeing by lubricating the VTG actuator rod/linkage, so only the idle map remains for the 93 octane and apparently the E85 tune is a piece of cake) so I'll see what I think then...I have a suspicion I will like how she looks and may not jump in the nrauto aerokit right a way.
Thank you. I thought I might have to go down the "paint path" but from what I see on your car it makes a lot of sense to change from chrome to black script. My TTS is Speed Yellow and black and the only chrome that's visible is the script which frankly doesn't stand out. Painting it black will make a huge difference. I also purchased the black 911 Turbo S decals from Suncoast and had those installed on the door panels near the lower front. They are the same decals that come on the 991.2 TT's and TTS's.

the nrauto wing looks exactly like factory - again i'd be careful to make sure that is what you get. picture in ad might be oem wing .

i agree, black script would look great on your beautiful yellow turbo ! you also could go with a "turbo " decal as used on some gt3 cars. - would save a little weight = )
Wow. Things are definitely different in the USA. I think most would struggle to elicit any real info from a plate here in NZ, other than the history of the car itself.
Not quite. Pick any car in the street, take the number plate details into the Post Office, pay them $2.00 and they'll give you not only the name of the cars owner but there address!
I'm not sure if this is still the case but I know I have done it chasing a bad debt a few years back.
Freaky ay..
