I also replaced by Turbo lip with a C4S lip. I paid $130 from Brandywine Porsche. I agree with the others that it looks much better - like Porsche actually designed for the car instead of just an afterthought.

We turbo owners are an interesting group of people, that's for sure.

I view the lip spoiler as disposable wear items, they are cheap anyway.

After a few airborne excursions, my front lip spoiler is getting pretty chewed up. I don't think it'll last another year...

not true. the plain gt2 lip looks the most durable and business (sporty) like. looks like rubber instead of plastic.

Not really, that's not the best picture. From the side the TT lip looks like _| and the aerokit lip looks like /

well, u think it looks good because the bumper design looks much better to start with. the lip is rather plain. see how much wider the lower bumper looks compare to TT/C4S. i miss this car.

btw, anyone notice the GT2-like TT on top right corner of the page needs a lip, rear bumper & half wing.
