Aero Kit II question

[Tomikaze]

Does the movable rear spoiler on the boxster become a fixed spoiler in the lowered position when the aero kit rear wing is added?

[Tool Pants]

The way I remember it with Aerokit II is that the connector for the electrically operated standard moveable spoiler was disconnected while the spoiler was in the down position, so it would no longer operate up and down.

You/porsche did not want to have the moveable spoiler come into operation when the fixed wing was also bolted to the trunk lid.

Oops. Never mind. I was thinking 996.

On another related topic...

I read a TSB where Porsche only wants you to add the front GT3 style spoiler and the rear aero wing at the same time. I think the wing is hideous (IMHO). Do you think this is marketing or do you really think adding only the front spoiler would truly upset the areodynamics of the car?

You read the warning. With that said. There are people who only put on the front bumper cover because like you they don't like the wing.

There are people who put on aftermarket bumper covers and wings. There are Boxster people who put on the turbo cover, then some with the 996 cover. And so on. None of this is approved by Porsche, and I think these people are still alive.

There are people who use tires not approved by Porsche, and oil. And so on.

But if you are cruising on the autobahn at 200 mph and flip, you read the warning...
