Unpainted (black) front lip
2 Attachment(s)
my GTS has seen one too many declines and i have decided it's probably time to replace that part on the front lip. question is, what are you guys paying for this item fully painted? i have been quoted at 300 for the paint, 350 for R&I, and haven't yet got a price on the bumper itself. it seems way too steep. also, if anyone has pictures of the unpainted front lip, can you share?
thanks in advance |
We have the front spoiler lips for the 991 GTS (Sport Design Aerokit) in stock and ready to ship out. Well below what you were quoted too. Let us know if we can help!

Does the Suncoast one come painted?
|
Never mind, the listing says it comes unpainted. ;-)

I bought 2x of these from suncoast and had them painted locally by a Porsche cert shop for $300e.a, as for R&I ... are you kidding, it takes about 1m each to do either DIY.
p.s I actually got the aerokit cup lip instead because I think its more attractive than the SD lip ... p.p.s If you get one, get two and have them both painted at the same time, for future use. :) |
I'm not kidding. Im not handy. I let my fingers do the walking. How easy is it?

That said I wish there was a black plastic/rubber replacement option similar to the GT3 front lip... smart that it is a consumable piece on the GT cars vs a guaranteed to scrape painted piece on the Sport Design/Aerokit cars. Also agreed your labor quote is ridiculous, any good body shop should include the removal/replacement as part of the painting quote. |

Wow your lip has taken a bit of a beating... I have the Aerokit lip and it is certainly scraped as well but all of it is on the underside luckily. Frankly it is surprising given where I live/work plus the fact that my car is now lowered. Famous last words I'm sure... :D

Just a suggestion, spray soapy water along the connection seam to help the tabs pop out easier.

I'm in the same boat at some point.
I wonder how much it would be to wrap it in a vinyl that's close in color vs painting. |

I'll join you guys. sport PASM makes the car too low....but I do LOVE the look :)
I'll deal with it when it gets worse. |

yeah apparently i should change the title of this to unpainted (greyish).

Shop around for part, paint and install. That's where the potential savings are.
The body shop painting it should be able to install it for a very reasonable cost. These are $100K++ cars. Just do it right. Some things are what they are. After all, these cars aren't the most economical purchase from the onset. Higher maintenance and ownership costs come with them. https://cimg3.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...508b6768e.jpeg Color of unpainted lip https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlis...aef2347d9.jpeg Two back ups |
