Spoiler lip

I needed to stop by home depot today, I zip into the furthest corner spot so I would be away from pickup trucks. I did not see the cement park stop until I felt my fender bounce on it. Luckily it only scrapped the plastic lip. Boy, that really does not look pretty when it is scratched up.

Anyway, is the least expensive replacement for these $239 or has someone seen better?

i think carnewal is a bit cheaper. i paid just as much as you posted from suncoast. it's a shame, they used to be $125 iirc.

Try Sunset Imports. They have really good prices also. Compare with Suncoast.

I bought mine from Pelican Parts a few months ago for $135. Now it's almost doubled.

Porsche parts have gone up like crazy in the past 2 months. not only the lip price went up double, the RS seat cushion i used to be getting was in mid $200 & today i checked it was at $980. made me sick...

GT3 & GT3RS share the same base lip that mounts directly to the bumper. RS lip comes with holes to attach an extra little lip in the mid section.

the double in the cost may be related to the dollar getting to the point where its worth nothing.

We have two dealers in town. one wanted 200 the other wanted 130.00, you should find it for that price. This was 60 days ago, spend those dollars fast before they go to 0. I bought an extra to keep on my shelf.

Try gtmotorsport.net in San Diego. They will make you one from fiberglass or CF and are very reasonable.

I've had my GT3 since May 07 and am on my 3rd front spoiler.
The CF front lips look beautiful but are not practical. Any impact will cause shattering or splintering. You need a flexible lip as the stock one. I've also gotten the Cup car lip.
One that had been badly scuffed I had sanded down and painted in the car color and salvaged the piece (could also repaint in black).
Regardless it is going to take a beating.
