I painted my aerokit lip in matt black, too. So it matches the original design, and i don“t like the lip painted in car color.

Hey Oliver, any issues with having the front lip installed and not doing a rear wing? Porsche doesn't recommend this...?

dude...unless you're doing 150mph+ on a regular basis, it's not going to be a problem. In theory yes, you should balance out your aerodynamics front to rear.

Actually porsche tested that wing/lip combo's effectiveness starts at about 110mph. If you've driven on the track(advanced group) with the aerokit and without at 135ish+ mph, as I have, you will see that it is very effective. Actually sucked my car down so close to the surface at pocono that it was unreal. I would not mix and match peices, just half assed AD wise(not personal).

It works no problem, even at high speeds (280+km/h curves ) . I tried the lip, because the front of the car feels to light for me. With the lip installed fast driven bumps are no problem anymore, the front seems a lot more stable now.

Why not the aerokit wing? Because it“s really one of the ugliest upgrades for the turbo
