Anyone that has added the aerokit 2 wing to their car...

Could I see a pic of the wing on the car? I was also wondering what you used as a measurement from the rear edge of the trunk lid to the base of the wing? Also what did you do to disable the retractable wing? Any help would be great. Thanks

Steve

Mine has it but it was ordered with the car at the time. If you need pics/measurements just let me know. From what I know the wing was disabled too but I can use the buttons to extend/retract it when I want. Not sure at 75mph what happens as I cannot see what is going on in the rear.

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.

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.
