Help! Gt3 lip doesn't fit aerobody?

I just got a gt3 lip, but it doesn't fit my aero bumper perfectly, maybe I should go with normal aero lip.

Over 80% clips fit, only two clips won't get into the bumper, my buddy has a Gt3 bumper, he will stop by and try if it fits his car or not.

I think you are doing something wrong, I had that lip on my 997.1 with the aero bumper. GT3 cup lip, should fit fine.

The GT3 Cup lip if not the OEM one is best fit by a seasoned installer. It will fit but not as easy as the OEM ones, just takes time and patience and preferably by two people.

I have the same looking lip ( the larger cup lip) if anyone in Socal wants to buy mine, brand new in box, never installed because my car is too low and would be gone in a few days!

I bought the cup lip beeing told it was more resistant but as he just said it sits lower which i didn t know. It scrapes literaly everywhere even while rolling. I would not recomend

Here is a PIC of my old car. This was an OEM GT3 cup lip, took some wiggling but it was an easy install.

It does sit much lower and it easily scrapes...

Would it be possible to measure the height from the lip to the ground? It looks a lot like mine, but would like to compare measurements.
Thanks in advance!
