OP, a follow up pic and report when she's recovered from cosmetic surgery would be appreciated, for future reference (tho I hope I won't need it)

Need you call them up and talk to them (suncoast). I bet they could special order the black lip for you.
They are getting me a 3rd radiator for my 991.2 GTS since I track my car....

This is the email I got back from Suncoast. Maybe they can chime in?
”Hey! The GTS front spoiler is really weird. They come from the factory with the black center strip, but you can only order replacements in full prime coat. We've voiced our concern directly to Porsche about this and they know it's an issue, but they still only come prime coat. So if you want the stock look with the black center you would either have to paint the middle or use some vinyl wrap. It makes absolutely no sense but that's the way it is.”

After posting my question I did a little search and came up with the same answer. I'll get some and give it a try to see how much I can improve the look and report back... I do my own paint touch ups and have gotten pretty proficient at wet sanding, polishing, etc. so this should be easy by comparison.

Really?
I would say just leave it be. If you drive the car you are going to get more beauty marks that that little scar.
Sooner or later you are going to find that piece of plastic broken. Then it will be time to replace.

Sooo think we finally found what goes on. Calling every where for this stupid black lip. Found someone who got the primered one from Suncoast. It comes in a grey color and same exact material ( plastic/rubber) the black ones come from factory. . When I was sanding today wouldnt you know grey color appears. So they must paint these at factory flat black.
Anywayyy. Ordered new one primered. Just got get it painted. Thank god. Lol.
im sure no one cares. Just figure I share.

They have it as a "hot county" option for the car, so Suncoast is putting it together for me.
Have only done 1 track day and only reached 250F, but it was only 72F. Might not need it, but ordered it as it couldnt hurt.
Track days in the summer out here will go above 100F so just being prepared...

These scrapes are why I keep my SPASM lip unpainted. I have enough scrapes on it now that it can be replaces. 189 for a new one is a consumable IMO.
