Techart 1, around $2400 new, but could be found on used market, extremely very rarely unfortunately. Some company, Precision Porsche I think http://precision911.com/997-turbo-updates-18-P-1.html makes very similar looking spoiler (I've no knowledge/direct experience as far as fit/finish), mine is Techart original which as expected has perfect quality:

FWIW I am very happy with the $199 eBay one, and bought a 2nd as a spare. I would have a REALLY hard time dropping $800-$2000 for a wear & tear part like this (even if it were CF).

I am also very happy with the ebay product, and I also bought 2 of them because I consider these to be consumables. I was lucky enough to buy mine when they were $150, and I just can't see paying a huge price for an item that will eventually get chewed up.


Cannga, your car and the techart lip are beautiful, but $2400, damn

+2 on the $200 ebay part! I concur it's a consumable item! Paint match body color and be done with it...

Thanks for all the replies guys.
I'm not concerned about the cost the OEM one or the quality of the Ebay one.

I was simply looking for alternatives that don't look like the OEM one or the aero kit.

For me I choose not to mess with aerodynamics .The factory aero engineers spend countless hours developing the right package.Most times the after market stuff is not even tested in a wind tunnel. I know I can’t out smart the factory guys!
PS your red turbo looks awesome!

Although you are partially correct in your statement, you must know that the 911 Turbo is not a track car, therefore it is built with touring comfort in mind. It is the reason why the Turbo and the GT2RS and GT3RS are such different animals. The 911 Turbo did not undergo countless hours of wind tunnel testing simply because it was not intended for heavy track use. That is why the GT cars are there for. So as you might be correct that most aero parts are not typically wind tunnel tested, the Werks1 Parts are, and they have proven to seriously improve down force in the front end. You can't go wrong with those parts.

I also have the Tech Art type 1 front lip spoiler and side skirts. I really like it, but now I realize how much beating the front lip spoiler gets. Not the best decision to spend this much $$ on something that will likely get a beating and soon need replaced.
