Question

Aerodynamically there must be some difference at high speed (light up the front,may be make it float a bit...) although esthetically, I prefer the C4S, as on this picture.

Rays aero lip provides a perfect fit and light weight - much less than the factory areo lip. Excellent product!

Thanks bro. It's an ongoing project.

If you told me 4 years ago I would be getting aftermarket turbos and stuff I would have laughed at you. :0

Bought this. Looks just like stock, but is missing a metal reinforcement bar. It's so inexpensive I can replace it every year.

Just tried to find this ebay site for the front lip you purchased....it says it doesn't exist anymore?! Do you happen to know the name of the company. thanks. Steve

I frequent the 200mph area on regular bases. I have the C4s lip, no noticeable difference honestly.

Hey. You guys are right...Bayson R Motorsports and Best Racing Motors are both selling the OEM Style Turbo front spoiler in polyurethans on eBay right now for $99 + $30 shipping anywhere in the US. I just bought one 5 minutes ago! Check out eBay . I typed in "porsche turbo spoiler" and found them both half way down on the search results. I'd give you the link but I don't know how to drag it over. Sorry. I have a 40th Anniversary model and I'm gonna' make the front turbo bumper look like it belongs with the GT3 side rails. See ya'.

I just ordered the Bayson ebay lip. Thanks for the tip on this. Saved a bunch of money vs OEM. My current stock lip is painted. That was a mistake as I track the car quite a bit and it looks terrible now. I won't be painting this one...

I bought mine on ebay from Bayson. I'm still not clear on exactly what parts Sunset is selling at those prices. The OEM turbo lip is around $400 and the OEM C4S lip is about half that. Although, IMO, the C4S lip looks awful.... It's not aggressive enough to be on a turbo bumper.
