Default Aerokit or not

Anyone have pictures of turbo with factory Aerokit? Do you know the specs as far as Cd, lift, down force compared to stock?

The aerokit, from what I understand, is simply painted rocket panels all the way around and the rear spoiler. The front lip spoiler might be slightly improved for aero purposes, but don't quote me on that. I also believe it costs 6-7k, which seems like a lot for essentially a rear spoiler. Unless you are tracking the car or driving at 100 plus mph all the time, I'm not sure if it's worth it strictly from a performance standpoint...But like all Porsche Tequipment kits, it sure looks good!!
