Default Turbo S chinspoiler.

I've exhausted the search function before posting this question, is there an alternative to the factory Turbo S chinspoiler for the 993 TT? Anyone copy it or is the factory part the only choice? Thanks in advance!

The factory part is made of a more flexible urethane product, while there are many fiberglass replicas in the aftermarket. Try MA Shaw, a Rennlist sponsor, for a good fiberglass alternative.

I've seen the one on ebay and checked the MA Shaw website, I didn't find one at Shaw and thought I might be able to get away a little cheaper than the ebay piece. Any links to the other fiberglass ones would be greatly appreciated!

Have you checked with your local dealer first just to get a price?

Buy the factory part. If you hit a curb with the fiberglass one it will turn into JUNK in about a second...

I had one put on and I think it was some type of bonding agent, I know there were no screws or rivots used.

There is a piece that looks very similar to the TurboS chin spoiler made by a japanese company called Gruppe M. Here is a link to a previous post on the Gruppe M front spoiler:

https://rennlist.com/forums/993-turb...light=gruppe+M

Otherwise I think the consensus is to go with the "real deal". FWIW, I have a Gemballa chin spoiler on my 993TT. Its more or less a copy of the TurboS chin spoiler. I can't tell the difference in any case. The Gruppe M spoiler just looks different, I still think it's the same price or maybe even more expensive than the OEM part.

Here is my Gemballa spoiler:

Viggo your car is sexy

abolfaz if you want factroy don't pay for new find a used one from a dismantler, your going to have to paint it anyway. Thats the way I would go otherwise just get a Getty or Mashaw piece, hundreds of guys here run those in some form on there 993's. They are cheap an easy to fix if they crack since they are fiberglass.

Good luck!
