Trying to sort out what the replacement part would be for the GTS front spiller if it got damaged. Looking at that option rather than adding the Front Axle Lift option on the GTS

Hah, as far as I can tell, this remains a bit of a mystery. Porsche offers the SportDesign front lip for ~$600, but that comes primered (vs the matte black of the GTS). I assume cost would be the same for the GTS lip but I don't know what the part number is. It's almost certainly cheaper to just replace the lip than option FAL, it depends on how annoyed the occasional scrape will make you, or if you have a steep driveway somewhere that will result in constant scrapes.

thanks! I don’t want to hijack this thread so I’ll do my own research at this point.

Has your team ordered this part? I was told by another dealer that this is the plastic piece that goes under the front lip, not the front lip itself.

It looks like that could be the case - I'm not sure if we've actually ordered this part in as of yet. If possible, please PM us your VIN and we'll be happy to investigate and work with Porsche to determine the correct matte black replacement for the GTS.

Unfortunately, I don’t have a GTS VIN- I have an S and wrapped the front lip but would like to replace it with the GTS lip. I can PM the VIN for my S but I assume that won’t be helpful?

Just hop on auto trader and find a GTS for sale and copy the VIN.

Looks unpainted for me...so if it doesn't match the OEM it is very very close.

Thanks, I ordered it some time ago and color match was okay but not ideal. Decided to paint it car color.

I can't recommend these side skirts enough for a C4S. Aside from making the car look better (in my opinion), they help protect the rear quarter panel and simply wear better than the original parts.

My original side skirts were getting chipped by rocks after only a few hundred miles. Yes, I realize they are made to take rocks and can easily be replaced, but I want to see as few imperfections as possible on the side of my 911. The GT3 side skirts keep most rocks that get kicked up underneath its lip. So not only do you not see any chips, but also you know it is protecting the rear quarter panel.

I ordered these from Suncoast and then paid my local Porsche body shop for an hour of labor to swap them out. Super easy.

Gotta say, I'm impressed Porsche Silver Springs, proactively jumping in and offering to help. First Class move. Yes, I know they want to sell parts but that's just above and beyond if you ask me.
