    Re: 997 Aerokit BEFORE and AFTER pics

    Can you lower cars with PASM? I will not lower it becuase as it is now, the clearance from the lower front spoiler just allows me to clear all speed bumps and inclines. Any lower, it will scrape.

    I think that the Aerokit and sport exhaust combined really make it sound and look like a "race-car". Call me juvenile

    Thanks for the pics.

    While I wouldn't call the areokit attractive, it certainly makes the car look a lot more purposeful.

    absolutely eye-catching and definitely head turner.Great for the extroverts too. A tad "ricey" at the front end, but the wing is really cool! i'll keep the $12,490 aud they're asking for it fitted.

    NICE WITHOUT THE AEROKIT, NICE WITH THE AEROKIT!!!


    WHY DID YOU PUT THIS SMALL PANORAMIC MIRRORS ON YOUR MIRRORS?

    MY 997 HAS PANORAMIC MIRRORS AT THE EDGES OF THE NORMAL MIRRORS, I THOUGHT ALL 997'S HAD THIS

    Re: 997 Aerokit BEFORE and AFTER pics

    Small panoramic mirrors really help in preventing wheel damage when parking and eliminates blindspot.

    997 in North America do not have pano-mirrors unfortunately.

    Thanks everyone for all the comments. I hope the before and after helps to show the differences of the aerokit on the same car. Cheers

    Re: 997 Aerokit BEFORE and AFTER pics

    Great car, the wing however in my view destroys the sleek body lines and its size overpowers and unbalances the overall beauty of the car.Having said that beauty as they say "is in the eye of the beholder@.

    Re: 997 Aerokit BEFORE and AFTER pics

    Yesterday, I went to my local dealer to check out the aerokit and sport exhaust. I agreed with most people here. The front bumper is pretty good and the rear spoiler just doesn't match with the car. It is doesn't seem right. I really like the aerokit II on 996. I don't think I will be getting the aerokit any time soon from Porsche unless they come out with a different wing design.

    Re: 997 Aerokit BEFORE and AFTER pics

    I'm in agreement with most others. It's a handsome kit.....except for the wing. And it's not so much that I'm against all wings (the 997TT has a handsome rear spoiler), it's just that the aero kit's wing would look ghastly no matter what car you mounted it to.

    Bottom line, it's great that Porsche offers us so many options for our cars...

    Re: 997 Aerokit BEFORE and AFTER pics

    Nice combo NWturbo, did you try adding spacer to make the rear wheels inline with the body?? it will look even wider. 9974S rear wheels is little in if you see it from aside. which spacer do you think is enough to make wheel lined up with the body?

    Please post the subsequent photos where Batman and Robin leap from the car, capes aloft, utility belts cinched, slinging their batropes up the structure and scaling the building up to Commissioner Gordon's office to find out what new threat is plaguing Gotham City.....

    Man.... Does that car come with a David Hasselhoff gold chain and wig starter-kit??

    O.K., I'm done, enough gratuitous self-amusing jokes about the Bat-slash-Knight-Rider Porsche.

    Re: 997 Aerokit BEFORE and AFTER pics

    I have a problem: I have a 997 Cab. C2S, and I find the front end very plain and boring. I read that Porsche is totally against installing the front end of the Aerokit without the rear wing, because of the resulting downforce etc. what can I do! hepl!!!!!!!!!!!

    Re: 997 Aerokit BEFORE and AFTER pics

    my .02 cents, front looks really good , the back looks UGH. sort of "kit car" look.
    I dont knwo, but to me, with the way that back wing looks , it reminds me of all the punked up cars especially the M3's I see. Takes away from the prestige of owning the 997 in the first place, Oh well my .02 cents.
