Ground clearance appears to be the same as OE -- the bottom of the splitter is flush with the bottom of the front bumper slot for the OE one. I think its just that it extends outward a lot more. I am on original Sport PASM suspension.

Car is a 2015 GTS. There was no 2012-2013 991 GTS.

Update for the curious: I painted it a flat black, using a Rustoleum Painters Touch 2X coverage paint+primer in one flat black. Laid down so incredibly well and honestly looks OE in finish (e.g., compared to rocker skirt). We will see how resilient the paint finish is.

Hi everyone; please be warned that the vertical pieces (which are not mechanically/physically connected to the bottom spoiler), must be held on using adhesive tape. I asked the builder about buying spares as these could fly off and be lost forever, and after much back and forth (at first they refused), they say they will sell them for $150 euros. Mine did not fit on top of the spoiler very well, so its probably the roughest aspect of this design. They should have created a rivnut style connector, and I may attempt such a thing, so that they are securely held onto it.

Regarding specific model fitment the site states "Front spoiler lip (3-piece) Fits Porsche 991.1 GTS / Aerokit". Was your car an
GTS Aerokit spoiler to begin with or the standard GTS lip?

I found the same CSR lip in the states at the vendor listed below (it appears they import from overseas) and was considering pulling the trigger but was concerned with fitment as the factory Aerokit offers limited options for lip replacement, this is the only one I've found that claims it will fit.

oh and btw — I bought mine from design911 and live in the states. Shipping wasn’t horrible. Cheaper than the GTS lip from suncoast

Thanks for the feedback, I spoke with a guy at BTR car customs and he claimed it did fit the aerokit front spoiler but for what ever reason he didn’t instill confidence in me and I didn’t order, At $450 I just may order one and give it a shot. The lack of an alternate option for the aerokit front lower lip is certainly frustrating, I would have chosen the sport design front end when looking for my GTS if I had been aware of the issue. If doesn’t fit I’ll put up on the marketplace for a sport design owner to pick up with confidence after seeing your installation.

Isn't the GTS front end the same as SportDesign? That's how it works in 992 but maybe I've got my terminology mixed up on 991.

don’t act based on this, but I thought the aerokit bumper was the same as sport design, just with a different front lip and rear spoiler.

I may have my terminology mixed up, this is the front lip on the what I thought was the Aerokit front end, I hope I'm wrong as the CSR piece will probably fit. The 2016 GTS did come with the ducktail and rear spoiler as part of the package.
