Getting ready to take my 2006 Cayman S into the body shop to have this installed... to those that have experience with this piece are you still able to open your rear hatch after install I've looked at pics and am having difficulty picturing how it actually goes on???

I remember asking Techart when I bought it and they said that you are able to open the rear hatch but I can't seem to picture it as it looks like the wing installs half on the hatch and half on the body - when you open the hatch does the wing come up with it?

Thx.

 

Yes, the hatch will go up. TechArt wouldn't develop a wing that would make the hatch useless. Who would buy it?

 

I don't have a Cayman yet but am looking a kit already

I saw two pics of this wing..I read that there are two body kits so I could confusing them..any idea if the GT wing retracts when not in use? I dont think so but I figured I would ask

 

Neither of TechArt's wings moves. You do, however, lose the functionality of the stock wing. That is to say, it doesn't raise and lower. But keep in mind, TechArt wind-tunnel tests their kits, so you'll be fine.

 

that's what I thought Charles....I'm not feelin' that large wing though...

 

There are three kits actually, the GT Sport or Aerokit II have the larger more aggressive wing the Aerokit I is the more subtle design. No retraction on any of them. The GT Sport wing has carbon fiber on the edges and the uprights whereas the Aerokit II wing does not both wings will fit either 987.1 or 987.2 models

 

Thx Scrambler, which kit are you getting?

 

That's what I figured just can't picture how they pull this off... guess I will find out soon enough. Thx for the response

 

Large wing definitely isn't for everyone kinda like some people really hate to put anything on the back of a 911, I just like the big obnoxious wing look.

I decided to go with the Aerokit II the one without the carbon, my car is basalt black and I just didn't like how it looked with the opposing carbon black on the wing pieces. If I had a white car however definitely would have gone traditional GT Sport as the contrast looks great there.

 

I'm not trying to question you. I'm honestly asking the question: where do you see three kits? For 2006-2008, there are the GT Sport and Aerokit I, excluding the widebody, on CEC's website. The Aerokit II is for 2009-2010. Does the wing from the Aerokit II fit a 2006?

 

I don't know about the full kit but the Aerokit II wing alone (which was developed for the 2009+ Cayman) DOES fit on the 2006+ Cayman thus excluding the wide body for a 2006 -2008 Cayman there are three wing choices Aerokit I, Aerokit II, or GT Sport. The Aerokit II and GT Sport are incredibly similar only difference is the Carbon Fiber uprights and end plates (oh and about $1,000)

I am putting an Aerokit II wing on my 2006. I plan to do the front spoiler and side skirts in the near future but have not yet investigated if I can use the Aerokit II parts (developed for the 2009+) or if I must use the GT Sport stuff (for the 2006 -2008 MY)

I ordered from Techart Directly so was able to get credible confirmation of a fit beforehand.

 

you can also get some pretty good replicas @ NR Auto Acessories in so cal .The quality and fittment is excellent and they offer some other options such as a GT-3 front end instead of the TA ,like mine they are a sponsor on this site

here is my car with the TA styled Rear and GT-3 front with the new LED's installed on the front .The gen 2 Cayman /Boxster comes with the LED's integrated into the bumper .hopefully I will get some side skirts ans a GT-3 Rear bumper soon

 

Got it. Thanks for clarifying.

 

Cool, thx for the heads up I didn't know about these guys. I absolutely love what you've done with your Cayman looks awesome!

 

just got a call from the body shop -- should have my car back next Tue or Wed can't wait
