It is just my point of view but given the way the spoiler looks when it is up, I would as soon disconnect the thing!

If I remember correctly, basically all Porsche did was disconect the wire to the spoiler. Just reonnect it and yours will work.

I don't suppose so. It's still the fixed type with a third brake light integrated. I personally perfer the Aero Kit spoiler as what BruceLee said, the looks of the standard spoiler when raised just looks awful!

I'm in the process of getting the AeroKit II rear spoiler. I'm assuming it needs no modification to the trunk lid to install? What happens to the existing 3rd brake light at the trunk lid?

Is there a way to manually raise and lower the standard spoiler, or does it just raise at speed. I just purchased a used 2001 986S and am wondering if mine is operational. thanks...

Small toggle button by the fuses, driver left foot well.
This will manually raise it.
If you do this it will not lower unless you restart the car, go past 50 and back down, or manually lower it yourself.
If your wing is deactivated, the manual button will not work.
