Just ordered one yesterday for a customer. They are only in Germany anymore and not stocked in the US. The part number is 993 505 982 00 They mount with glue / adhesive to the existing bumper. That's it.

love the look.
I have the S spoiler from Gert and the Euro bumper from gert. Good fit and finish - sealed it right on and doesn't block any vents. Gets plenty of compliments.

I'm debating for myself
I'm definatly leaning towards no front plate but just have to figure out a way to get past inspection with it on temporarily. I'm thinking velcro tape that i can take right off afterwards

Can't beleive so many are looking to install the Turbo S spoiler. I have a factory one I just received and just painted. It's ready to be installed by the body shop if I get some time. Can't wait to see the subtle difference. Bought it through Carnewal. It looks to be a great add. Have fun with yours!

Its subtile to anyone who does not own a 993. Anyone else who has em can recognize right away. I just got my "KILZBUGZ" liscense plates, and I do not want to mount the front one. I have bumper plugs just haven't snapped them in yet. The problem is that in NJ its law to have a front mounted, I have been pulled over once for it and was let go. I have a feeling I'll probably put it on after my first ticket!

how much usable downforce does the lip provide? (beyond looking cool)
I was at the track with a pro porsche driver helping me. He said that my car did not have enough downforce (normal TT bumper) and it was an issue on turn-in.

I'm in the process of fitting the factory TT S lip spoiler. From Air Kuul TT's picture, I've circled in red the fitment issue area I've found with the factory TT S lip spoiler as also mentioned by jrgordonsenior and Jim Morton. I'm thinking about using a Dremel tool to modify the area to make it fit better.

I just got my car back from the bodyshop after having a factory TT cover and S spoiler fitted. It looks fantastic! It is incredibly low, however, and you have to be extremely careful everywhere with it. Parking lot entrances are a PITA.
It was mentioned earlier that if the little lip on the bottom is ground down, that Gert's FPB will work... does anyone have experience with this? I emailed Gert last week and he said that the bar wouldn't be effective with the S spoiler. Thoughts? I really need some kind of protection for that pricey S spoiler!

I think the problem with the S spoiler is that it's more "squared-jawed" thereby lowering the ramp angle of the front of the car. The FPB's mounting location means that it doesn't really come into play in most situations with the S spoiler.

Phelix, that is what I suspected. I wonder if a FPB could be designed for the S spoiler cars? Pretty limited market, I know, but probably fairly easy to fabricate.
