996TT front lip options

Other than the Aerokit front lip, are there any other front lip options for the stock 996TT front bumper? Pics please.

Ruf and strosek. I got mine from hershel at cargraphic but it looks like a strosek to me. It is fiberglass and not poly u. Sorry, the pics are not great. Lip does look very good on the car and seems to funnel some extra air towards the front brake ducts. I like the forward rake but to me the aerokit lip can be a bit too shovel looking.

RUF style

RUF style lip. Pretty different looking lip. I like it it, more agro stance. Some of the older Porsches had this style also.

Here here. I lovingly refer to it as the "cow catcher". Looks just like the track clearer from the old school locomotives

The stock lip has a phillips head screw on each end. The spoiler clips into holes at the bottom of the air dam. It's super easy to remove and replace. The C4S spoiler is about 200.00. I don't know how much the others cost.

Unscrew both sides and pull very firmly from middle to unclip lip. First yank is the hardest then gets easier.

I've never noticed the screws before. Do you have to turn the wheels to get at them, or are they underneath? (i'm awy from the car right now)

How many screws are there?

Thanks.

Aerokit looks 10x better than the rest IMHO.
