    Porsche Aerokit on a 997 Cab?

    1) I assume this is possible - just no rear wing
    2) Anyone have photos?
    3) Anyone have idea of costs?

    Re: Porsche Aerokit on a 997 Cab?

    If I recall correctly, Porsche do not recommend fitting only the front PU without the rear wing due to the resultant changes in downforce; hence the Aerokit isn't offered on the Cab!

    In the German forum a user recently wrote that his dealer didn't allow to configure just the front spoiler on his cab. Furthermore, Tequipment/AeroKit Cup section of Porsche's German website clearly states that it is only allowed to install both front spoiler and wing.

    Re: Porsche Aerokit on a 997 Cab?

    thanks for the tip... but what I like is the Aerokit front end, and Porsche won't install it with out the rear wing, I think... and the rear wing cannot be installed on a Cab...

    Right, you cannot install the front bumper without the rear wing; this is why I suggested visiting some after-marker products... You can find some nice and attractive sporty front bumpers... Best of luck!

    There are a few aerokit and rear wings for you to choose from

    Cargraphics
    Hamann
    Rinspeed
    Speedart
    Techart
    and of course the OEM aerokit

    I personally like the OEM front bumper with techart side skirt look! Look for a aftermarket shop around your area and they can mix and match different brands for you for sure!

    Talk to the guys at RUF in Texas. I have seen the coupes with their front end and like the aggressive look. THey may have something for the Cabs.
