I might be interested. But make sure it's the right kit.
The website says that $1,995 is for the 2003-2004 Aerokit. If you want the 1997-2002 Aerokit then it's an extra $1,400. And there are two Aerokit versions within that year range. Which one are they selling?

If it's $1,995 for the GT3 style Aerokit II then it's a great deal and I might be interested in splitting the cost.

Also, my buddy had a silver 986 with just the GT3 bumper and no sidekirts. Car looked really good - sometimes I liked it more than mine with the Aerokit 1 sidekisrts and GT3 bumper.

What year is yours? Mine is an 03' so definitely just need the one for $1995.00
For the two versions, is that the one for the '03-'04? I will also get clarification from Aldo, he's the guy that can set this up at suncoast.
Feel free to PM me as well.

I emailed the guy at Suncoast so will get some clear information soon. The bumper in the pic on the site (blue boxster) is the aerokit II GT3 style right? Still learning the different names for this stuff!

Yes, that's the one.

I wrote a whole essay with photos on the different Aerokits. Basically I was saying that the 03-04 kit doesn't come with a front bumper. When they were new, if you ordered an 03 or 04 Boxster with the Aerokit (called something else by then) it would just be the side skirts and something else in the rear, can't remember exactly what. Porsche thought the new standard bumper was nice enough I guess. That's why I thought the '03-04 kit was much cheaper.

But then I read the whole description as I should've done from the beginning and saw that it specifically says the front bumper is included and that the difference in price is because of the needed rear trunk lid for earlier models. That actually throws even more doubt into what I thought I knew about available Aerokits but oh well... looks like the bumper would be included if you do order the '03-04 kits.

Yes which is why i want to go ahead with this asap. I will get further confirmation from suncoast but it all looks legit.
