Anyone that has added the aerokit 2 wing to their car... - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

What year is your Boxster? Aero II Wing on a 2003/2004 should already have hole marks ready for drilling under the lid.

I added an Aero I wing, I liked it better. I had to do the measurements, not too hard.

As for disabling the retractable wing, yes, you’ll need to order this part# 986-612-981-23, cost about $16.

Then follow these instructions, takes about 10 min to do:

5.6.2 Remove the rear luggage compartment lining of the rear luggage compartment and unclip the 6-
pin plug connection to the drive of the retractable spoiler (located to the left of the lock on the
bottom of the retractable spoiler carrier).

5.6.3 Disconnect the 6-pin plug connection and establish the plug connection with the 6-pin cable link.

5.6.4 Clip in the 6-pin plug connection onto the bottom of the carrier again.

6. Concluding work.

Take your time, measure twice, drill once!!!

This is the best example on how measure/drill properly so the hole lines up:

I'm guessing about 4" from the rear edge of the decklid to the trailing edge of the wing supports? Can anyone with an aerokit 2 verify this for me? I would really appreciate it.

Anyone?....

Steve, I'd just email Maurice, and ask him to bring a measuring tape with him when he meets up with Jaay on Tuesday at a Porsche event. Jaay has a factory aerokit on his car, including the wing.

Thanks Rich, but if I remember, Jay has the aerokit 1 wing not the second version, but if he does, I thank you guys in advance.

Ah, you may be right. Didn't know the wing was different btw 1 and 2.

The bottom edge is exactly 3" from the bottom lid and the bottom edges are 5" from the edge on both sides

It's the ‘97-04.5 Boxster new OEM Aero Kit Pelican part described as Boxster Wing & Hardware # 986 512 992 00.

It was on the car when purchased but appears to be high quality and good fit that matches well with the side skirts. Hope this helps. I have not disabled the spoiler.

Is that the aero kit I or the aero kit II spoiler? I have what looks like the same spoiler installed from the factory, what version they call it, I don't know.
