Does the C4S Front Lip Spoiler fit on the Turbo Front Bumper?

I talked to Suncoast parts today and they want $400 for the Turbo Front Lip Spoiler or $169 for the C4S Front Lip Spoiler. Does the C4S Front Lip Spoiler fit on our cars without modification? Is it also the plastic that doesn't need paint?

I'm getting my bumper repainted this week and I'd like to replace the front lip spoiler because mine is all torn up. Thanks in advance for your replies!

The C4S lip will fit, but I'd just get the $99 replica off of ebay. Lots of guys on here have been happy with it, and for a disposable part, who cares if it's OEM?

Is there any modification that needs to be done to the bumper or the spoiler to get this to happen?

I haven't looked under the car to see if its self explanatory, is it pretty easy to remove the old front lip spoiler and install this aftermarket one?

I think there are two screws, but don't quote me. Someone did a write-up on here, I believe.

LO_996tt is infamous around these parts
IMO the c4s lip looks cleaner ... it allows for more ground clearance in and out of driveways. It is also higher up in the center which means you won't kiss as many parking stops/curbs.

The key to an easy install is to to make sure that once you start you pull it very tight as you clip it in around the front to the other end. If you do not you will run out of lip before you get to the screw hole on the other side.

I think the turbo lip looks much better than the c4s lip but might go with a c4s lip because it provides more clearance than the turbo lip.

+1. Bought mine 2 years ago from Bayson R MotorSports on Ebay. Outlasted the OEM spoiler.

I just put a $99 'eBay' front lip on my car. It was a piece of cake. It's a tight fit, so having a heat gun or waiting for a warm, sunny days helps.

Seriously took me 10 minutes to do and looks great. No difference in look or fit than the Porsche one.
