Front lip/spoiler options
 

My front lip/chin spoiler is chipped a bit due to normal low drive entries. When I bought my 996t I know many said you can get them for about $100 on Ebay and they are decent. Any good Ebay sellers recommended?

The one on my Turbo got a bit thrashed but I just left it in service until it cracked and was in two pieces and with the ends hanging down.

I bought a new one from my local dealer. Fitted it myself. The eBay ones cost less but I have no experience with their quality.

most ebayers buy the bayson. direct fit, and it's just a piece of rubber. no reason to buy oem given how many times you'll probably "have to" change it. i replaced mine about a year ago, and it's hangin by a rubber thread lol but from afar no one ( but me ) can tell lol

i use the c4s lip exclusively as it has a lower center indent; looks better, and affords me the illusion i have more clearance over the stocker. whether i do or not is anyones guess. but i think it looks better i HATE the stock lip.

The Turbo version from Bayson when I bought mine several years ago was made out polyurethane just like the OEM.

rubber/poly/ribbed for pleasure. whatever, that's what i meant lol

I just got one off of eBay a couple of months ago for about $85. Not the Bayson. It cracked after a week. For now it's still serviceable until next spring.

The bayson is a very tight fit and need dry fitting before painting. If you are leaving it black not as big a deal for fitting. I bought three and had them all painted the same time to save a time between smashing my lip , broke a painted one while trying to get it on the car. Lip was just a little short...

i couldn't stand the thought of painting them as i hear it scrape nearly daily lol

I bought one from eBay seller 4caroption. I like it. Fit perfectly.

I bought the Bayson, bolted up no problems, looks like factory piece

Was it the Turbo, Aero, or C4S style ?

Any issues with the paint chipping when you installed the lip after it was painted? I'd like to put a freshly painted front lip on in the spring and thought it might be better to have it painted while it was on the car. Painting it before installation would be more convenient though.

It takes literally 30 seconds to remove the old and install a new lip. Don't sweat painting before installing.

I bought a poly aero lip that is really amazingly flexible (it came folded in a 3 ft box)) and seems to be very resilient to damage. I even had the thing fold over once and it popped right back into shape. (I did have to repaint it, but I do that myself)

I bought it on EBay - http://www.ebay.com/itm/190294704029?item=190294704029&viewitem=&vxp=mtr
