That type of behavior is totally reckless and would only happen once if he was in my group! Can anyone tell me why that type of disregard for SAFETY should be tolerated in any way?????

He should be kicked off the track and the 13/13 rule envoked.

Man, this makes me mad. Especially with me moving out that way soon.

Thanks for putting up with my venting................

I would spend an hour or two sanding and cleaning the old lower lip and then invest in some spray paint (to roughly match the replacement unit) and keep it as a spare.

That way you know you will never need it

Replacement lips aren't horribly expensive at all, and are super easy to replace. The Aerokit primered lips are $189.95, and if you wanted to bypass painting and go to the black GT3 lip, it would fit fine and runs $205.55. I know a bunch of guys with Aerokits that have a few of these sitting around just for track days!


Aerokit 997 Spoiler Replacement in Primer - $189.95





GT3 Front Spoiler Lip - $205.55


How much is the GT3 RS clip? Do you have a pic of it?

Smart man. Seriously though, I'd talk to the track marshal next time and get the Lambo jerk kicked out. That's a lot of very expensive machinery in one place at one time, and typically insurance won't cover HPDE accidents. Just food for thought.

If you use the GT3 spoiler, when it gets scraped by curbs, etc, just use black ducttape to hide the blemishes. Thats what I do on mine, and change the tape after every scrape. Get the original repainted and use for show.

If you are going to have it painted you could order the primered lip which is a couple bucks cheaper than the black lip.
There's a plastic screw at the far end of the lip, near the tire. And another screw more to the center of the lip (but still at either side of the car)

Which one do I need to remove?

Remove the plastic screw near the tire from each side and then pull firm.
