Question Aero Kit for 986 & 987

Hi,

I have three questions regarding the Aero Kit for Porsche (see attached picture):

1) Is the Aero Kit available for 987 Boxster or Boxster S? Maybe they changed the name, but I've never seen any 987 with a Aero Kit. All I've seen on the internet and in real life are Aero Kits on the 986 Boxsters.

2) Can Aero Kits for the 986 Boxster still be purchased? I don't seem to be able to find them. I found one aftermarket kit ( http://www.fiberwerks.com/986_boxster.htm), which I think looks hideous.

3) How difficult is to retrofit an Aero Kit? Especially the rear spoiler.

Thank You

1) No, 987 use a whole driffrent kind.

2) Ebay, that's where I found mine for $80

3) Very easy actually. You do need to paint and drill the trunk....only scary part. I did all myself for under $100

I disabled the original spoiler so that it does not retract, per the Aero kit guidelines.

I agree with you on the full kit up top but I think that Daytona II bumper is hot!

Yes, you can buy an aero kit for the 987. It is about $4K not including paint and installation.

Here is the aero kit for the 986. A little more expensive vs the 987:

they seem to be out of business. Phone number has been disconnected.

Also, where do you get it painted?

What about those specific Porsche colors like Titanium Grey Metallic? Can any paint shop mix those colors or do they have to order it from Porsche?

Thank You
