I like the Cargraphic one also - although I've never seen one discussed/ installed here before, could some one chime in with some more details if they have them?
TechArt, it's quality and straight install is documented several times here. I believe it is made up of three individual pieces (corners and centre) each part bolts on using original mounting points already on the car.
Here's a pic of the 'TechArt' one, can't find more pics of the Cargraphic one on google?

Think I like the cargraphic one better -
But - tell me why Porsche no longer makes the OEM splitter? Is that true? Or are they just so expensive noone talks about them....Mayeb they would make a few sets if there were enough orders? Anyone have a contact at Porsche Classic?

here is the link to the Cargraphic website ... they also do the GT2 splitter. Suggest you hide the credit card before opening the link

The cargraphic lipspoiler is very nice, though very similar to the FVD one?
Factory Tequipment version looks suspiciously like the Techart one

This is speculative since I haven't seen the Cargraphic one in the flesh, judging from the pictures it seems rather thin, may need shaping/ shaving in order to fit. I'm also not sure about the white fins pictured... how do they fit? Screws, bonded, it seems a bit prone. It also seems to fit over the bumper around the sides. Aesthetically it's very nice but it reminds me too much of the FVD item I bought, which had the aforementioned pitfalls - and as a result GTOne lost half a day trying to fit it, grinding it back etc. As said, this is purely speculative, but from the pictures I think it is over priced.
I like the TechArt's construction and that it's had good reviews on here. It needs no shaping, bonding and just bolts on using the factory points and the plastic is much thicker. I can't afford to gamble that kind of money on a splitter! But does anyone have experience with the Cargraphic one? My view may be unfounded.
Here are some more pics of the TechArt item and once again the Cargraphic.
