Have decided to keep my 991 4S for the near future. Would like to see if the NA holds some value and see how if the new turbos perform over the next few years.

I have always loved the Cup Aerokit. Got some great pricing on the kit and have a great shop here for the paint. All Porsche OEM parts so shouldn't hurt intimate resale. I know there are a lot Duck users here but I think I really like the "Wing" myself. Any thoughts on pulling the trigger?

Cup Aerokit Spoiler is a bit busy for my taste having just the Ducktail cleans it up a bit as well as just having the GT3 spoiler.

Default Aerokit



Go for it! It is very well integrated and looks fantastic, nothing but compliments on mine...

Toss up for me. Like both. Have been looking for a used Aerokit wing to be able to swap out sometimes for the duck.

As far as the front bumper lower spoiler, the Aerokit Cup one is the way to go hands down.

I like the duck and to me it looks a bit more retro. But the Aerocup to me looks a bit more today and sportier. You see less of them than nothing at all, or ducks. I like that too.

My new GTS should be here this week and I ordered it with the Aerocup kit. Looks faster too and adds a touch of exotica lol

i'm in the duck tail camp as the aero wing/spoiler is just a bit overdone and almost weird in its design. i do like the front (aerokit) spoiler though.

Just so everyone knows, the Aerokit wing is a duck with a wing mounted on top of it. Screwed on.

Only comes Asia complete unit, but that's what it is.

You are right. And you may know this STG. I just checked into with Porsches body shop for a friend. She is doing the Aerocup on her 4S. She has a duck now. They were saying that you have to order the whole kit if you have the factory duck because it has reinforced holes to bolt the wing to.

If you bolt it on a regular duck, its not strong enough where it has to support the wing. Do you know if this is correct? That is what I was told but want to make sure. I know it comes as a complete unit but was thinking on saving on the painting and work on the duck part

I have the duck, and to me in pictures the aerokit rear looks a bit stuck together and strange. That said, in the metal I do quite like it. It's personal taste; look at a few examples of both and see which one speaks to you more.
