Regarding replacement of the piece....I have no screws anywhere. I got the sides off but the center won't come out. Is there a trick?

I'm assuming your talking about the front plastic spoiler/lip on the 997 TT. Mine had two screws at either end at the bottom/front of the wheel well. Then it was just a matter of pulling - it did take some effort. Goes back in much easier. Here's a picture with the part number - it's not all that clear but you can see the screw (3) attching to the spolier (5).

I have the painted front lip and I know it will have to be replaced eventually when it gets damaged but I don't worry about it. Just keep a painted spare.

Strange, I have no such screws.

I have painted lips and there are two side screws(one on each side) closest the the fender areas. They are star/torx screws. I forget the size. They are there - no question.

I figured out the screw issue. The dealer never removed and re-installed the screws when they put mine on. The screws are there but the spoiler was placed over them, covering them. I'll correct that with the new one.

So the screws weren't attaching the spoiler at all, that sucks.
