Name this bumper lip

Can anyone tell me what type of lip is on my 996 Cab? I've torn up the one that is on there and want to get a new one. It definitely just comes off from the current bumper.



And while you're at it, do you know the wing?

Not to tread jump but

For those who know what it is or have one, do they rub the ground a lot? I have enough trouble with driveways is this that much lower or does it just protrude foward and appear to look lower?

Ah, interesting! Thanks for the pointer!

The lip has been fine...it was the driver who was in error.

Some of the pictures show MKIIs and some show MKIs. I think you can get either from the vendor.
