YUP polyurethane is durable/flexible and fiberglass is NOT!
If you accidentally hit something...there is a good chance you will have destroyed anything fiberglass.
One downside to polyurethane is....in hot hot weather they will sag and warp if not fastened properly.

OEM is I believe the same kind of material as this kit very flexible
Techart......same as above....very flexible
Rinspeed...I believe I read somewhere it is fiberglass(can't seem to find any info on the material BUT 99% sure it is fiberglass)

Check out how flexible this is:

http://gt3tek.com/products/911rf.htm

Also, check out the 993 RS kit. what a beauty. The owner of the blue 993 is the current PCA president San Diego. He tracks this car and He bottomed out several times already and the lip held with out a hitch.

Like the front lip. How much drilling of the front bumper is needed? Justatoy, get your opinion, for a black car, would this look good in flat black?

Small mounting screws I would think underneath......same as my Techart!

I think I would just paint it black...not flat black.....but try it....worst case scenario repaint it...I would be curious to see how the flat black looks!
I just think it is a little too big of a piece to have a color change........unlike a stock GT3 lip(smaller,less pronounced).

Check for more products we will be offering in the future for your 997 at www.gt3tek.com The rockers are very similar to tech arts with the exception that our line up right below th door line were tech arts is almost a full inch. We will be posting a link on youtube showing the installation very soon.
Keep posted!

Will that front lip fit on a 2007 C4S? Also, even though it flexes, doesn't the paint itself crack when it flexes? I'm having tons of trouble with a techart kit and am looking for a rubberized front lip, but this one looks nice and will match my sideskirts. Lastly, what color is the actual material itself (wondering what color is exposed if/when paint is scraped off)?

Thanks for posting this, btw!

I really like the front lip, not feeling the rear diffuser though. If you guys have any plans on making bumpers I think a gt3.2 look bumper with quad exaust and some kind of amg style center diffuser would look really good.

I believe GT3.2 style bumper in Polyurethane is in the works. I saw the fitting.
My car was the model for the fit.
