Need advice on whether to purchase a Champion front lip

I have scratched my 997 turbos front lip and I am wondering whether I would ruin the Champion front lip if I am already having trouble.

Werks 1 lips is deeper and further out compare with OEM front lip. We have a carbon lip coming in March which curve up at the bottom and give you a bit more clearance at front edge. I will measure the clearance next time. But you need to pay more attention with any aftermarket lips.

You're asking for trouble, I wouldn't do it. I'm so freakin tired of mine scraping I'm about ready to raise it back to stock height.

stock ride height, my stock lip hits just about everything. First day of ownership I nearly ripped it off driving down my street, now I don't care. I can't imagine driving a lowered turbo in a city, how do you guys get into any parking lots?

Mine's -20mm (same as a GT2) and it's not my lip that gets scratched it's the rubber flaps that hang down at the front of the car that take a beating. And I am surrounded by speed humps in the roads round where I live. Only scratched my lip when parking facing a curb.
