Up for auction is this customized 2004 Porsche 996 Carrera Aerokit 6-speed presented in Midnight Blue Metallic over a Graphite Grey interior. Having been used as a promotional vehicle by MOMO and CCW Forged Wheels, this 2004 example highlights a factory Aerokit and tasteful modifications including a GT3 RS style carbon fiber rear wing, a Fabspeed exhaust system and MOMO Heritage wheels.

The Midnight Blue Metallic finish is said to be in great condition with paint protection film applied over the front bumper and halfway up the hood. A collection of detailed images is provided in the photo gallery. The seller notes that a professional detail was carried out in 2018 and that the rear bumper has been replaced due to slight damage which is recorded on the Carfax report.
This 996 showcases a desirable factory Aerokit as well as custom modifications including a GT3 RS style carbon fiber rear wing, a Joe Toth front splitter and Joe Toth dive planes which have been installed without drilling any holes. This Carrera rides on matte black 18” MOMO Heritage 6 wheels which are currently dressed in Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. This sale will also include the original Aerokit spoiler and factory 18” Turbo Twist wheels as well as a set of 18” CCW Forged wheels which come wrapped in Michelin PS4 tires.
Inside, the Graphite Grey interior has been modified with a rear seat and center console delete, a Victor Kremer-style steering wheel and a set of reclining Recaro SR2 seats. The seller notes that the original leather seats will be installed before delivery of the vehicle, though the Recard seats will still be included with the sale (A photo of the factory seats is listed in the gallery). Other noteworthy details include Lloyd’s embroidered floormats, a new black center console and an OEM carbon fiber shift knob and handbrake lever. The seller assures that all race-oriented modifications are purely aesthetic and that the car has been kept off the track. Commanding an original sticker price of over $86k, this 996 showcases the following factory options:

This 996.2 carries a naturally aspirated 3.6 L flat-six engine rated at 320 HP from the factory. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a desirable 6-speed manual transmission resulting in a stock 0-60 time of approximately 5 seconds. This 2004 example features a carbon fiber air intake, a Fabspeed exhaust system and Eibach lowering springs. The seller notes that the IMS was replaced at approximately 50k miles, the clutch was replaced at 72k miles and the rear main seal has been updated as well. Having undergone a recent full service, this 996 is said to be up to date on all due maintenance.
The sale of this unique Porsche 996 will include a set of two keys (one of which the auto lock is not working), the original owner’s books, a Carfax report and a collection of spare parts including factory interior components, the original springs, air intake, an extra front splitter and 2 additional sets of wheels.

@zimmd1 Photo of the DME report from the last few days is uploaded. I was also sent this link to help me understand what it means in case there’s someone watching who’s is seeing this report for the first time (like me!)
https://rennlist.com/forums/996-forum/918379-looking-at-a-996-thoughts-on-over-rev-stats.html
@zimmd1 thanks for the questions.
1) I can submit a photo of the DME report to be posted. Honestly, I don’t understand it, but it may make sense to others.
2) I was VP of Marketing for WELD Racing when we acquired CCW and absorbed MOMO. We used this car for product development, vehicle fitment, numerous shows and events, social media (multiple brands, platforms), new product introductions, etc. Major activations were on the Hot Wheels Legends Tour and MOMO’s Road to Rennsport.
3) I don’t have any photos of the underside of the car. I am traveling until early next week but can see if someone can pick the car up and take it in for some pics. Doubtful, but I’ll try.
Thanks again for the interest and questions!
I understand that we are getting to the end of the auction, is there a way for us to get a few more questions answered.
Is there a way to get a recent read out display of the DME report? Is there any information regarding how MOMO and CCW used this as a promotion vehicle? And could we get some pictures underneath the vehicle from nose to tail?
Thank you. Very pretty Porsche.
@fehrevilo Fair comment.
When I bought the car they had a clear film on them that had been on there far too long. When I removed it, the lights were severely pitted. No idea why. Anyway, I worked on them for a while and got them probably 90% of the way there. They could use a professional to clean up the last 10%.
It looks like the headlights would benefit from a polish? They're a bit cloudy, as happens with UV exposure. Not a knock, as it's hard to avoid.
@slimothy Thanks.

@cbovis I'm so sorry to hear that, that's horrible for anyone to go through. I totally understand your reason to sell. The good news is I'm sure anyone who buys from this site will baby the car and treat it well. I can't think of any other questions right now but I will definitely let you know.
@slimothy No problem. Happy to answer any questions.
1) A/C- It's cold, no problems.
2) Brakes- Last brake service was 4K miles ago in 2018. It was not done this Spring just based on miles. I had a comprehensive service done before Rennsport in 2018, but have not driven the car much since returning from it. In 2019 we moved, I changed jobs, etc, etc so the miles have been minimal from late 2018 to today.
3) Reason for selling- This is not meant to be an emotional appeal for bids, just a factual answer to your question. Please don't take it the wrong way. In the last year I lost both of my parents, most recently my Dad on Easter. I have limited space to keep things, and there are a couple of cars in his collection that I cannot let leave the family. Too much of the family and my childhood are wrapped up in the other cars. I would love to keep everything, including this car, but I don't want to end up on an episode of Hoarders so I have to make decisions.
@cbovis Thank you for the detailed response! Super appreciated. The audio of the exhaust isn't a dealbreaker but would be awesome to hear it! Stock Porsche exhausts are (in my opinion) a little too tame sometimes so it's nice to spice them up a bit with aftermarket.
Just 3 more questions (hopefully!)
Does the A/C blow cold and have no issues?
Is it due now for its 2 year brake service or was that done earlier this year?
And lastly if you don't mind me asking, why did you decide to sell?
Sorry for all the questions!
@slimothy Thanks for the interest! I'll take these one at a time:
1) Exhaust: I submitted a short 30sec video of the car starting up but don't see it. I will reach out and ask for them to post. My subjective opinion on the exhaust is that it's what the car should have come with originally. It's not loud, is not noticable on the highway, but sounds like a sports car should above 3500RPM or so. Of course, this is my opinion.
2) Condition: I would have no concerns driving it 800 miles. It was just serviced a couple of weeks ago with no outstanding needs. The last long trip I took was Road to Rennsport (probably not longer than 2500 miles ago) and that was Santa Clara to Monterey to Anaheim without a hiccup. I didn't do a PPI, but the car was just serviced with the direction to handle anything it needed.
3) All the Stuff: It's far too much to ship inside the car, but we can get a lot of it in there. Wheels and tires are easy to ship and I think most everything else could be boxed up. Mounted tires protect shipped wheels pretty nicely. Ultimately up to you based on cost and headache factor. I'll obviously help facilitate as best I can.
4) Plates: I'm not an expert on this so I'll take a conservative approach. I would prefer to send the car with a bill of sale as proof if you don't already have plates to bring for the drive. I'm sure there are a number of ways to handle this that reduce risk on both sides.
Thank again and let me know if I missed anything!
Hey! I tried to post a question earlier but for some reason it's not showing. So here it goes again!
1. Are there any videos you have to let us hear the exhaust note of this vehicle? I looked up a few Fabspeed exhaust system videos for the 996 on YouTube and found that they all sound slightly different.
2. Is this vehicle in good enough shape to make an 800+ mile journey home if I were to fly out to pick it up? Anything that could stop it? Also, are there any PPI info?
3. I assume all the extra accessories will need to be picked up via a Uhaul, probably too big to ship?
4. For KS, I'm not sure how the tags/plates work but will the current plate come with the car for the buyer to use for a couple days until the car is registered in their home state?
Thanks so much, beautiful car!
Thanks for adding the photo of the damage, and the photo with the stock seats. Yeah, that was a love tap for sure. Repair looks good to my eyes, though. Appears to be cosmetic only, as you said.
@fehrevilo Thank you. Perhaps I am oversharing, but I want to be as transparent as possible.
@cbovis I really appreciate the detailed reply. I'm familiar with the floss method of removal, so it's good to hear that would likely work in this case.
I'm not overly concerned with the prior damage, though I bet others would also appreciate a peek at what the damage was.
I'm also not worried about a few blemishes here and there. If I'm fortunate enough to take this home I'm going to drive it! :)
@fehrevilo Splitter specific answers:
The splitter is 2 pieces. The actual splitter part has dzus fasters that secure it to the vertical part that is attached to the car. From memory, the underside of the front bumper where it curves back under the car has a few small bolts holding it on. I believe there is VHB tape between the bolts.
When removed, there shouldn't be any visible holes from mounting. I believe it should be able to be removed and look 100% stock.
@fehrevilo I'm obviously glad you're interested!
The splitter unbolts from underneath. I believe it's also held on with 3M VHB tape, but there should be no visible holes. The dive planes on the side of the ft bumper is also VHB tape, no holes or screws. It's simple to remove with fishing line or dental floss to "cut" the tape, then a mild solvent to remove the residue.
The paint is original with the exception of the prior traffic accident (Carfax). It wasn't during my ownership, but always assumed the rear bumper was replaced and painted. Other than that, it is original to the best of my knowledge.
I did submit a photo of the accident damage, but don't see it here. It was a bumper to bumper traffic incident that pushed in the rear bumper. To my knowledge, no internal damage. I was actually pleased the prior owner made the claim so it was fixed properly. I personally didn't think it was a big deal, but because of this I cannot claim 100% original paint on all panels.
I had the car completely detailed prior to shipping the car to California for the MOMO Road to Rennsport. Paint was professionally cleaned, waxed and clay-bar. It looks really good. There are (in my opinion) a lower than expected number of scratches. The most noticeable is the underside of the lower rocker on the driver's side. There's a photo of it, but you need to really look for it to see it. I included an image of the door handle to show that even the "normal" wedding ring scratches are minimal.
@cbovis Thanks! If you can't tell, I'm interested in returning the external appearance as close to stock as possible. Splitters come off fairly easy as well?
I love this color. The Porsche currently in my garage is midnight blue metallic, which is objectively the best Porsche paint color. :)
Paint is original?
@fehrevilo sorry I referenced the wrong commentor! Oops.
Yes, the stock rear wing is really easy. There are two small brackets that rivet to the underside of the wing. Drill out the rivets and re-rivet the brackets to the OEM wing in the original holes.
I think it took me maybe 45min to change it the first time. It was simple enough that it was within my skill set :-)
Sorry, another follow-up: Splitters not being bolted means a relatively clean removal is possible?
Bid in the amount of $15,000
@fehrevilo Thanks for the reply. It was the airbag functionality specifically I was interested in regarding installing the stock wheel.
Restoring the stock rear wing is a quick operation too, I take it?
Good morning. I'm the seller/owner and will be happy to respond to any questions.
Gr8scrpt:
1) I have decided to install the stock seats and steering wheel prior to the sale of the car to restore airbag functionality. I will ask them to update the listing. To specifically answer your question, the job is pretty simple.
2) All OEM parts that I have will be delivered with the car. This would include the stock rear wing. I believe I have all of the OEM parts except for the mufflers. I also have some wheel spacers that I can throw in.
How challenging is it to replace the stock seats and, in particular, steering wheel?
And is the stock rear spoiler included as well?
Bid in the amount of $1,996
