So what is the big advantage here? The flexibility of the polyurethane?

The stock ones cost about $ 125.00, I go through around one per year, so we are looking at around a 3 ½ year ROI, assuming these last at least the 3 ½ years. Am I correct?

Is there more to these then I am seeing? Weight savings? Looks?

It's cosmetic. The aerokit front chin spoiler is far more than $125.00. The front chin spoiler pictured sticks out much more and is larger than the stock unit. In comparion, Strosek charges $850 for their front chin spoiler which looks very similar. Seems to be an excellent product and price

Great looking product at a great price... polyu is the best for that application; far more durable than fiberglass.

Looks similar to my Strosek except without the center upturned section. I like the up-swept line of the sides... much better looking and inline with the Turbo's styling than the stock aero, imo.

Note: I two-toned my spoiler... bottom 1/2 is a more durable black finish. I wish it was made of poly-u!

Looks nice and understated. A good alternative to anyone who's looking for a replacment/upgrade instead of the stock lip.

Does it come predrilled and fit perfectly, or do you have to "work" it onto the car like most aftermarket stuff? Does it come with the needed hardware? Looks nice.

It takes about 5 mins to fit.

Yeah I need one of those and was going to ask the same question. My car is black so I assume the finish/appearance is close to the stock one and I can just slap this bad boy right on?
