Aero Kit II Spoiler Question

[mffarrell]

I bought a used aero kit 2 spoiler for MY2003 cabroliet. The deck lid has some damage on the bottom edge, and I was wondering if it is possible to install only the wing portion onto my existing deck lid? The wing is bolted onto the deck lid that I purchased, and it looks like I may be able to remove it and install it on my deck lid. Of course I would have to remove the retractable wing, first.

Is this possible? I thought that aero kit deck lid was made of fiberglass or plastic, but it appears to be metal...I think. The wing is non metal.

Thanks!

I figured it out, and mounted the Aero II spoiler to existing deck lid. I had thought that the deck lid with the Aero II spoiler might be fiberglass, but it's just the regular metal lid. The new Aero II spoiler lists for over $7K, now...what a joke! So when you order a Aero II spoiler here is what you get in the kit:

I purchased the side skirts new from Sunset Porsche for $678. Purchased the spoiler used $1500 from dC Automotive, http://dcauto.gotdns.com/?p=2.

I am painting the skirts next week, and I will post some pictures.

thanks for the info, looking to purchase the side skirts now and was wondering if i could do what you did and somehow just purchase the spoiler and mount it to the deck lid and not have to buy the entire rear wing with spolier because thats how it comes anyway...Was it tough to modify?

The Aero Spoiler will mount to your existing deck lid without any modifications. You just have to remove the existing retactable spoiler, and install the Aero Spoiler with the appropriate wiring harness to deactivate the spoiler light on the instrument panel.

Here are some pictures of my car with the Aerokit spoiler and side skirts. I painted the parts myself with PPG water base (base paint) and PPG urethane clear coat with hardner. It cost me $200 for paint and materials. Most of the body shops wanted $2K to paint. I used a HVLP gun.

Total cost for this mod:

Aerokit spoiler $925 (got $575 credit for damaged deck)

Aerokit side skirts $678

Paint & supplies $200

Labor FREE

TOTAL $ 1,803

I love the pictures of your car and the mods that you did they came out awesome. Now if i could only do that on my black 2002 cab. but i am still unsure of which aero spoiler to purchase and from where? I will try dc auto for used i guess, was your skirts and spoiler fiberglass or polyurethane. Thx.

The spoiler and skirts are Porsche OEM, and I believe that they are polyurethane.The only OEM spoiler that will fit your cab. is the one that I have. It's called Carrera rear spoiler P/N 000 044 802 04. The spoiler comes with a front lip that mounts under the front bumper.

I see the OEM spoiler time-to-time on eBay ($2K-3K). A new spoiler would be out of the question, as the retail cost is about $7K. If you go with aftermarket, you have more options in terms of style, i.e. GT3, taco, or other. You will pay between $1500-$2000 for a quality wing.

You can purchase the OEM side skirts from Sunset Porsche for $678. I have seen them used on eBay for $400-$600, but my feeling is that it's better to buy new b/c you will have all the mounting hardware and body tape to mount.

How is that spoiler doing?

I am in the same boat.  It is a 2001 Cab and bought the deck lid with the wing.  I just want the wing, but I didn't know you could take the wing and put in the existing deck lid.

I need to find more details on how to do that.

The Aero spoiler is doing fine. There is a TSB on this site that has instructions on how to install the Aero spoiler. It's pretty straight forward. I think it took me a couple of hours to complete the job.

 

Let me know if you have any questions, once you get started.

 

Good luck!
