C4S lower front lip spoiler....

I have a major problem hitting the front end of my turbo's lower lip spoiler.

My car is stock all around but driveways, etc are causing significant damage.

I am considering changing to a C4S lip as the center is higher then the turbo.

Any opinions? Will I adversely effect the cars aerodynamics?

Also, where can I get such at item at a not so crazy price?

Some people have changed to the C4S lip because the front is cut out and has more clearance, IMO I just replaced the Turbo one with the same one and just expect to do it every so often, it is designed that way for a reason.

I have the C4S front spoiler on mine for that same reason. No problems with curbs, driveways etc.

C4S Lip

I installed the C4S lip on my car after burning through two regular Turbo versions. I think it looks nice enough and at the speeds I drive I haven't noticed a difference in the aero stability.

Incidentally I used the Porsche discount coupon mailed earlier in the year and bought two for nearly the price of one. Nice deal. Now I have a spare for the Mrs. Car; she has a 2003 C4S.

How much does the Turbo lip cost? I have a front-lip on my C5 which scrapes pretty often. I just replace it when when it gets really bad. So far, I'm on my 2nd one and it's holding up pretty well
