Default Turbo S front spoiler

Ive done my searches but havent found the answer I need. I'm thinking about adding the S front lip to my c4S nose. Who on the board has done this - and how hard is it to install? Where's the best place to purchase? Any regrets? Is it a simple "bolt on"?

From experience on my C4S...it looks great and makes the car appear lower than a similar height car without it; HOWEVER, it reduces how much you can actually lower the front end and still have a driveable car without too much bumper scraping IMHO. So, keep this in mind. Great look though.

Good point. Ive already got H & R springs and bilsteins. I do like the look though. Did you install yourself?

I know from the RS splitters I used to own, anything sticking out low on the front are targets...so be carefull...

I did it to two of my cars. It is really simple. It actually glues on and has two studs on each side that you have to drill a hole into the lower fender. I bought them from the local Porsche dealership.

My car has the factory Aerokit II (Turbo S front bumper) and it is very low. I don't have any problems with dragging the front end if I am careful. I am at RS height plus a little (RUF set it up that way).

But..nothing beats the look of a WB with a NB nose and splitters, like a wanna be GT2,...but wat do I know...lol

Mine's pretty beat up, and it didn't come off of off-road rally height until the first of this year! And we won't even talk about rock chips. The little local car dealer I bought the car from had the nose sprayed when he took the car in. It is nasty now with probably 1K track miles now and then over the years. After last weekend I'm probably going to lay the car up in the backyard and get it prettied up for another few years.
