The best front lips for 997.2's?

Only for 997.2's. Aside from the techart front lip, any other options? I love the aerokit or sport classic lip but that requires a whole new bumper. Pictures anyone?

Have you looked at the Vorsteiner 997.2 front spoiler? I thought it compliments the stock bumper quite well. More aggressive than OEM aero front bumper?

Just had this kit installed, front lip and rear diffuser. It looks great, I love it...
Search Vorsteiner on this forum and my post will come up with some pics for you to check out...

Thanks. Just read through your thread, both front lip and diffuser look great!

I wonder how the lip would look with RS fender extensions?

I think the fender extension will look funny unless you put some spacers or wider front tires... And if you do that, that may mean rolling or cutting the existing fender. Yikes.

I sure would try to find someone who has actually done this before attempting it...

For the front spoiler, you might want to check with ROTtec and GT3 Tek, both had one in the works last spring if I remember well...

HTH,

Thank you all for the suggestions, this thread has been very helpful.

The oem aerokit/speedster/sport classic/fronts are all amazing but I am not considering changing out my whole front bumper at this time.

Aerokit

Sport classic/speedster front are the same right?




Wow, that Vort front lip is very clean.. thanks for the suggestion! I checked out your thread too. I wish I could see it on a white car. Aside from that, it seems like this lip only comes in CF which puts it on the expensive side.. $1600 ish right? Hope you don't mind me posting your link here but I thought it might be helpful to have a definitive list of .2 lips.

I checked out Rottec and GT3 Tek, it seems like they only have lips for the 997.1. I dont believe this will fit on a 997.2 bumper.

I found a cargraphic spoiler which is quite nice, but it looks low..

Aside from the techart lip, is not my first choice, is there anything else we're missing here?

Annnd a stock photo for frame of reference:


on a side note, tcouture: how the heck did you get an orange C2S? that's AWESOME.

Just came across the FVD lip. I think we have a winner... aerokit lip look, with stock bumper?

Ah, good call OKB. Anyone know the price on these things? The more I look at it the more I like it, for practical reasons as well. I think it will complement a ducktail nicely

The aerokit lip is nice but it is too "bland" for me, I much prefer the aggressive look of the Vorsteiner spoiler.

Front lip

Before you get too excited check with FVD on shipping costs; when I ordered my grille set in June, I inquired about the front spoiler and was told that they were not exporting - PLEASE prove me wrong.

Thank you.

Does anybody know where to get the one from Werks, Champion's site shows it, but it is in carbon fiber. The one on the orange car above does not appear to be carbon fiber. I am trying to find the one that is not carbon fiber. Thanks for any help.
