This is true but when speaking with the dealer I found out that you can have ONE of the two. Either the stock spoiler or the Aero Wing. I personally like the sleekness without it.

yeah the pedestal spoiler the factory came up with totally clashes with the lines of the car. The lines and proportions are all wrong.

This one for the Cayman would work much better. But Spoilers on convertibles and roadsters always looks 50/50.

The first one you posted from ebay is the Aero Kit I rear wing the second one is from the Aero Kit II. They were both designed by Porshe. I actually dont mind either one, I just hate the idea of having to deactivate the stock spoiler from coming up.
