Front Lip Damage - Big Deal?
the front lips aren't expensive ... there a few hundred dollars.
when i scratched mine up i took mine to a body shop to sand it down and had them paint it gloss black to match my car (just did it 2 weeks ago). I know black on black isn't as noticable as the other colors but the stealership wanted $11k for the oem aero kit so i figure i would just paint the side skirts, front/rear lip myself. I then 3m'd it so it hopefully is protected.... and once you scratch it your extra careful going in/out of parking lots. At least i am...knock on wood hopefully i dont scratch it up again.

Agreed, if you have a 20mm lowered car(ROW) spec and you drive it daily that will happen. It is what it is. I DO have an aero kit spoiler but most likely next time with repace it with non Aero kit for $150.....
Whoa, Nellie. $11k?!? If you want the aero kit give Suncoast a call. I don't remember how much installation was but entire kit (front, sides, back) painted was under $8k. Come to think of it that may have included installation at Suncoast.

I'd start with your local dealer. I bought 3 from Sunset Porsche in Beaverton, OR @ $135 each about two years ago. Sold one to a friend, painted one and installed it and kept one for a spare. Buying from other than a local source will cost more because of shipping.
Suncoast sells them for even less, but the total cost is about $150 with shipping. Figure another $50-100 if you want somebody local to paint them.
Ask me how I know.
