Thinking of removing front lip..Comments?
I rarely have driven my GT3..it's getting to be almost criminal!

One problem is the fear of scrapping the front lip, which seems almost impossible to avoid..

Should I just remove it? I want to drive it more often but the scraping sound is painful to say the least...

Friend of mine has 3 extra front spoilers for his 997 GT3RS. Don't let such a small detail keep you from driving the car!

That's pretty much the plan so far..The sound is murder..can't lie..

also freaks out my dates..also if I scrape it in front of people I can just hear their thoughts.."Loser...doesn't know how to drive." lol...

How about a 'lift kit"?

Get some fine sandpaper and clean it up in between replacements. It works surprisingly well.

The car is so ugly with the front lip removed. Just drive it and drive with a scrapped one rather then none. Or just replace them as needed, they are not expensive.

You probably would dislike the sound of scraping metal even less. The plastic at least gives you a warning.
