Has anyone bought this lip or dealt with directcartoys?

I'd always be worried about glue and tape holding it on.

If this is the guy out of FL I bought a small spoiler from him...good fit and the paint finish was just like the car...cant tellthe difference.
He has my recommendation...took him 3 weeks to get it to me.

I did that on a rear lip spoiler which will never touch anything except your hands when you are washing it. Don't trust it on a front lip spoiler where it could potentially rip off if it hits a curb.

I like this one and the cost is not ridiculous. I hope someone who has bought it can share their experience with the supplier and most of all the fit of lip and if everything is good lets have a group buy arrangement.

Another question is does it really look this good or did they just take a picture of the speedster front spoiler? It looks so oem but I am imagining does the oem 997.2 bumper look this way? Questions...

I can almost guarantee this is a photo of an actual 997 Speedster with the 2 "mouth fangs" photoshopped out to look like the 997.2 base front end... So this is showing the OEM porsche spoiler on the speedster not the actual product. Ask him for a photo of it installed on an actual customer's car.. Buyer beware of quality and look when a Oem photo is used to represent their products.

If it does looks like anything close and is a good quality, then I would say it is a great looking chin spoiler. I have the oem speedster/sport classic front bumper and chin spoiler and it looks really great in person. So I would go for it if they can send you actual photos and it looks this good.

I just called them up, they were easily willing to allow a site visit to inspect the product. The guy said they fabricate everything so would need to have some advance notice, depending on the parts...some they usually have around as they're working on orders. They can also handle the installs. May be interesting if anyone lives in the area and can inspect.

Any fabrication shop not posting pictures of their actual build, so potential buyers can see the quality of their workmanship, is not a place I would consider doing business with. A shop using a picture that does not include their actual product....even more slippery.
