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!

Might I also sujest that when you mark the holes use a fine marker to make cross hairs slightly bigger than the drill size. Then use a small pilot drill first. Many people who don't drill metal often or if the drill is not properly sharpend will "walk the bit" and the hole will not be where it was marked. If you have cross hairs you can see if this is happening while you are drilling and make corrections so your hole doesn't end up in the wrong place.

So I have found out after calling about 10 dealers and writing to PNA, that no one in Porsche knows how to install an aero 2 wing! WTF?! This is the response I got from Porsche:

Thank you for contacting Porsche Cars North America.

Although we would like to assist you with your inquiry regarding installation of an aero kit for your 1999 Boxster vehicle; we do have to advise you, that it is our recommendation to contact your local or preferred Authorized Porsche service department. We strongly encourage you to speak with a Porsche Service advisor or the Service Manager for furher details . There, you will be able to speak with a contact who will be able to offer their expertise in advising you accordingly, as we do not have a technical line to consult with regarding inquiries such as these.

Thank you again for your email - we wish you many more pleasurable driving miles behind the wheel of your Porsche!

Gee thanks, I never would have thought to call my dealer!

I'm now pleading with you guys with the aero 2 wing to get the measurement for me! Pretty please?
