Default Twin Turbo front OEM lip..

I noticed this is different and a bit more aggressive than the C4S...anyone know where to source one other than ebay or a used one?

Have you considered calling the dealer? It is an OEM part they stock.

2 months after getting my car I'm still finding places that sell parts. Have fun finding them

Could someone post a pic of this thing please? Also, what is involved in installing it? Thanks.

Installing it takes about 60 seconds. Undo the screws, and it pulls right off.

I bought my last one for the C4S at Pelican Parts. I think they sell the turbo version too.

Got a link to a diagram for the install. As easy as it sounds I seem to mess everything up so easily! How many screws down there?

I don't remember exactly - I think it's two screws in each front fender well, and then just clips all the way around the underside of the bumper.

Dennis, I was just on the Pelican site. They show only one "front spoiler" that would fit my '99C4. Part Number 996-505-986-00-M100 which lists for only $80. This is less than the eBay link that Zookie supplied. It is hard to see in the website pic what this would look like installed on the car.

Does anyone have a pic of this particular Pelican front lip installed on the car?

Also, what really is involved in installing it? Surely Dennis was joking.

He was not joking. I bought a slightly used Turbo front lip for my C4S. For my car, it was two screws on each fender side, front of the front wheels.

The rest was held by clips throughout the front.

Install is not 60 seconds but more like 80 or 90 seconds.

Rikker, that's b.c it's for a C4 not a C4S. The C4 and C2 aerokit use a small (very small) lip that snaps on to the underside of the bumper.

The C4S lip is much different and just modified Turbo lip that attaches to the entire front.
