That may be the factory Aero kit bumper cover, side skirts and wing. But it is not the factory Aero kit trunk lid. The Aero kit trunk lid does not have the cutout for the third brake light. The factory Aero kit trunk lid is also made of fiberglass, not steel. So I would guess that all the Aero kit parts were put on after the fact and not from the factory.

Not true for Aero II cars like this.

The Aero kit 1st generation cars ('97-'99) had the trunk as you describe. The 2nd generation aero cars had different side skirts and the spoiler bolted to the standard rear deck lid w/ the pop-up spoiler deactivated.

Also the XAA code that Smallblock454 (Markus) lists above is the factory aerokit code.

Just some Boxster trivia from a guy that spends way too much time (and money) playing with theses little beasts. (See my garage posts under my user name.)
