So this weekend I drove the new turbo back home to MA from GA. We did the tail of the dragon, avoided cops all throughout the whole trip. Then we got back to the wonderful home state of MA and we hit something in the road and it took a nice half a quarter sized chip out of the front Aero lips spoiler.

Any ideas on fixing it or replacing it? Any cheaper options than the 1k replacement part from Porsche?

Thanks

 

Sorry to hear that. Can you post pics of where the damage is on the car? Many times really good body guys can repair and respray at a reasonable cost.

 

It was a couple years back, but I picked up a replica aero kit lip on ebay for less than $100 that was indistinguishable from the original.

 

I found a number of aero lips on Ebay for anywhere from 100 to 600. I am thinking of buying 1 of those, getting it painted and putting that on. Then having the OEM one fixed and leave it in the garage incase I sell the car.

Dont want to be damaging a 1000 piece of plastic too often, 100 though i could care less about.

 

dont bother fixing the old lip. i have had the ebay units for 100 and theres no visual difference. lips are made to be broken. toss it and move on

 

I dont think I will throw it away, however, I will get another ebay lip. 105 to my door.

 

Not sure if you're on the fence but, I also run a cheap eBay lip. Zero problems. It's basically a wear item. No point in buying expensive ones unless it's a show car.

 

Sorry I thought you meant the valance (bumper cover).

 

If your feeling like a DIY project you can go to a professional paint supply store with your paint codes and have them mix you up a can of real automotive paint, primer paint and clear coat. It's pretty easy to get it perfect.

 

I run ebay lips too....and always have an extra on hand...this is a disposable item

 

X2. Front lip on a road car is a disposable item. Keep it cheap.

 

unless you want a c4s lip. then you have to pay the price like 250+. i hate the oem turbo lip and prefer the indented section of the c4s. lower the car an inch, and you'll see how long they "last" ha

agree with all though, it's just a rubber part it's gonna get et lol.

 

I found out that Eklers magazine, i get it because porsche parts, also sells the lip for around 360 bucks.

 

Would be interesting to see if the Eklers part is any different than the 104.00 shipped from Ebay. My hunch would be they are even form the same source. For 360.00 I would just go with the lip from Joe Tooth and spend a couple hundred more for real aero down force.
