need lip for aero kit

First post on this forum, been searching on it for a bit, and thus far you all seems to have the best forum around, so I registered...my stable consist of a 2006 911 with Aero kit (the Wife's car) and I have a 2008 Z06. We also have two 1969 camaros: hers, a 327ci "RS" and mine a 489ci SS...both in different stage of re-built/improvements for the second time around (we've had those two for a while...) and a 04 silverado as the work horse/long trip ride.

Anyway, I need to get my hands on the lower lip of the Aero kit on the 911...since it's been driven alot, it's taking a beating, and we're at the point were replacing it is what will yield the best results.
I have found that KDB Urethanes make one for 230 bucks, but I've never heard of them nor do I know if they are any good...
Was hoping you guys/gals could point me in the right direction...
(I'm also using the "search" button as I type this)

There's a small screw on each side in front of your front wheels. Once the screw is out, it just pulls off. There tabs that hold it in place along the front. It should take about 5 minutes.

The black is just the black plastic, but most opt to use this lip as opposed to the primered lip because of having to get it painted.

You are correct to not believe you dealer (shocking). Tom is right when he says it's a 5 min job and very simple to do yourself.

haha yeah, I KNEW it! I was playing around with it yesterday, and I saw the front had the pull tabs...sigh, dealer are all the same aren't they...when we bought the car, the lip spoiler had seen better days, so we asked that they change it, but they said it was a big job, had to yank the front facia off...blah blah blah...so we settled for a free, really nice Porsche car cover fitted for the Aero wing...can't win them all I guess lol...but coming from other cars with such lip spoiler, I knew they were full of BS...just got off the phone with the wife and she is absolutely thrilled that it's cheaper than we thought, and that I was right (I'm always right lol --shhh don't tell her that! lol)

thanks alot for the quick response guys!!
