Default Any GT2 lip/spoilers for sale?

Considering getting some from MA Shaw. Though I'd check if anyone has them lying around gathering dust.. Looking for the front and/or back stuff.

I have that set up on my car and I'm telling you to re-think your choice. If you get fiberglass like I have, you WILL bump into something and crack it. The bumper cover is fine, it's the lower lip add-on that is low and rigid.
I will be changing my front bumper cover for one made out of polypropylene or whatever you call the flexible material. Just something to think about before you decide. Something flexible is a long term solution. See if one of the spoiler makers make a flexible GT2 version front. The rear wing is great, no problems, and I get lots of compliments.

How about the Turbo S lower lip spoiler. Looks flexible from the picture.
What do you think Boostcrazy?
Gert Carnwal carries it.

My car came optioned from the factory with some extra bits, one of which is the TTS front lip.

The lip is made out of the same stuff as the bar - so is flexible - but still a little low. I am also positive that having the TTS font lip doesnt upset the aerodynamics of the car. IIRC you must compensate for a bigger wing/spoiler at either end.

Simon.

Well it's a clean looking solution to front air management. Since my bumper upgrade is presently project #5 on the slope, I haven't made up my mind how to handle it yet.

That's way cool the way you have that red what-ever-it-is under the engine cover. Looks like fire glowing!

I'm thinking of getting rid of my GT2 spoiler and front splitter set...but it's still on my car and I would need something to replace it. I don't have the stock pieces, but I would love a turbo or turbo s front bumper and a split grill in the rear.

I'm pretty sure the TT-S lower lip is fiberglass and not very flexible. The Turbo bumper cover, on the other hand, is polyurethane and so flexible.

The TT-S lower lip is flexible. I have been thinking of this front end option myself, as the GT-2 lower spoiler is rigid fiberglass and I have accidentally bumped and cracked it a couple of times. I still love the tail and I feel that the additional air intake is good. With my supercharger I need all the cooling air I can get. I'm just getting ready to install an auxiliary oil cooler.
