New front lip for turbo s

I have scratched the h*ll out of that cheap plastic front lip. Where can I get a new one?
Or even better, a superior alternative? Thanks.

An unpainted (black), stock front lip will run you about $150 at Suncoast, etc.

Tom, that is such a terrific looking lip but it's too bad it doesn't come in poly like the OEM one does and was priced close to OEM. My bet is you would sell the heck out of them! Any thoughts on this?

I can hardly keep them on the shelves honestly. Got 5 new pieces produced last Monday and sold all 5 by Friday.

There's a few little known facts about our lip that help change some peoples' minds about the carbon. For one, at it's deepest point (at the corners), it's less then 1/2" deeper then the stock lip. And second, along the lower bottom edge there is a 3mm aluminum skid-plate riveted into the carbon, to protect it from those occasions where it might scrape. Of course, in a direct hit with a curb or some other object, it would obviously break the carbon, but with a little more caution while driving, most people are able to adjust their parking accordingly

I second Tom's Werks 1 lip, have it on my turbo and abosolutely love it. Great design, functional and robust. Watch out for those rivets holding in the skid plate, had to replace a few with flat head screws. (this is of course was due to my mishaps in my driveway and not the product)

I love the werks lip but being lowered I scrape all the time, while pricey I would not hesitate if I did not scrape. I buy stockers from sonnen in CA, some items they seem to be more competitively priced.

The CMS lip and diffuser are very very nice. I would go with them cept I have scraped the lip and muffler so many times I dont trust myself.

I have many CF parts and can tell you the Werks 1 splitter is incredibly strong. Had several scrapes and bumps and not one has damaged it . I wish they would expand their line to include side skirts, grills, vents, etc, etc.
