Default Aerokit Front Bumper Spoiler

So I noticed that Suncoast has an Aerokit Front Bumper Spoiler that looks a little more aggressive than the OEM Spoiler. Does this install and still use the motorized lower Spoiler on the car now?
Has anyone done this and like the look? Sorry for the newbie question.

I believe it's the same one from the Aerokit pkg.

So no, it won't retract or deploy.

I'm pretty sure the Aerokit Front Bumper Spoiler they are selling is the exact same as the full kit. You can buy the kit in piece except for the rear deck lid (by design, unfortunately).

If this is the exact same front aerokit spoiler as the OEM one, then yes I would think that your existing retractable front spoiler underneath the bumper will still be effective. The retractable spoiler as well as the aerokit lip are separate from the bumper.

Thank you, very clear. Just what I had thought originally. I like the piece either matching body color or a hit of black.

Here is a picture of mine . Spoiler was added afterward and does not interfere with bladder spoiler.

Very, very nice. I like it very much. Just a little added oomph up front. Thank you for posting the pic.

The OEM aerokit front spoiler is supposed to be compatible with the extending front lip. Also, most on this forum seem to like the front spoiler in a color different from the rest of the car (e.g. gloss black spoiler on a carmine red car), but I think a body-colored front spoiler makes the car look lower/more aggressive.

That looks great. What did it cost to paint and install? Did they paint just the aerokit or the whole bumper?

I'd be interested in doing this plus the GT3RS side skirts, and painting the lower valance at the back to complete the look.

[I will do paint to body color but I do like it a lot. Good add for spring. After a full frontal PPF my car may have to start hibernation soon. I would get this piece in the Spring, paint and Xpel it.
I would like to find a carbon fiber rear valance for the car. Only one I saw I liked is an Arkpovic Carbon rear valance.

Stealth...Aero was painted and added afterward. Price was included with cost of car, as was lowering and window tint.

I have heard that purchased separately it's almost the cost of full kit ordered new.

I also like it painted in color of car , however that does not seem to be popular. Most like black, might be an age thing.

The Aero front lip spoiler is $689 without any discount. I have painted and installed other front spoiler lips on my 4S for around $300 plus $150 to xpel. Figure $1k.

Not the worse money spent.

I like it painted color of the car too. I find that if you paint it black it looks like a tape-on aftermarket part.
