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.

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.

Spoiler (Revised with measurements)

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.

All you folks with the AERO 2 wing, he doesn't need pictures of what the wing looks like on your car... He needs one of you to just take a tape measure to your wing's support columns, and measure how many inches it is to the trunklid's trailing edge. Can you do that for him so that he knows how to position the wing when he installs it?!

Jaay, sorry, but I can't make it tonight. Have fun man!

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.

That's the aero kit 1 wing. The aero 2 wing looks kinda like the 996 GT3 wing.
