Cup Aerokit Installation for 996: Spoiler grill parts?

[TurboShear]

My body shop just installed Aerokit Cup (p/n 000.044.801.02) on my 996 Carrera today. Two issues:

1.) The "spoiler up" warning light on my instrument cluster would not turn off (though the Aerokit Cup spoiler doesn't raise)

2.) The two engine intake "ports" on the rear spoiler are just holes; it appears that some sort of plastic grill set should be fitted there, as it looks unfinished. But the body shop insists that no grills were supplied by Porsche with this kit. In TSB "Installing Cup Aerokit" 911(996) 3/00, I do not see these spoiler grills listed under the bill of materials (see attached). However, I can't imagine that these raw, unfinished "holes" are part of the finished product. Am I missing something here?

Any help would be much appreciated. The car looks super besides the two above issues!

I bought my 996 used so I don't know if it was supposed to come with some sort of grill on the rear spoiler but mine does not have it. I agree that it looks a bit unfinished but haven't noticed any debris getting into the engine bay from that direction.

Yes there should be a divider piece in the opening.

Here is a pic of my factory aerokit rear spoiler.

I have not found a part number -- yet...

I installed the factory Aerokit on my '99 C4. It came with a wiring harness for the rear deck that tells the remaining third brake light (CHMSL) to always work (since there is no longer the moving spoiler with the CHMSL in it) AND it tells the instrument cluster to not indicate spoiler up/down. Loren can confirm. And, yes, it came with the divider bar for the air holes like in Loren's picture.

The wiring harness is listed in the TSB you supplied as 996.612.070.51. A;sp ;ool at the instructions, section 2.3.4 which discusses thejumper to deal with the light.

Loren, I'd like to have that part number, assuming it is sold separate from the kit.

If it is a factory kit - then it should have been included. Perhaps the paint shop that painted your kit forgot to put it back in?

I am traveling and won't have access to my parts lists until late next week...

Loren, anyone,

Any luck locating a part number for the divider in the rear spoiler?

That doesn't sound like a factory kit to me. They come with the wiring harness as well as the other things mentioned.
