Can someone post a link to the ebay auction?

Also - this lips fits an aftermarket fiberglass GT2 bumper? Any mounting issues?

TIA!

I have this one and it doesn't look like it lines up with the fender liner area of the GT2 bumper. Anyone have pics of the alignment in that area?

stupid question...I already have clearance issues with my stock turbo lip but would like to change to an aftermarket front lip from EBAY.

I don't mind changing it out once or twice a year BUT my question is, how does the front bumper mounting points holding up with the lip constanly getting hit or scraped?

if you don't have clearance issues, you don't have a 996t at least a properly stanced one!

but a great question. not stupid. in my experience they don't hold up to ( on average ) two new lips a year since it's basically into the bumper plastic/rubber (whatever..)

i had to drill new holes just above the existing ones flush with the wheel liner to attach them.. and i've tricked myself into believing the c4s lip gives me a bit more clearance though i think it still looks better than the stock turbo lip.
