Default can you identify this bumper lip ?

I bought an aerokit wing for my MY02 996, but I can't install it without some aerokit in the front, aka gt3 style bumper.

Does this lip would do the trick ? if yes, can anyone identify it ? is this oem ?

That is a GT-3 Cup lip. I have one on my car with my Aero, but it will fit a non Aero.
It's just a small splitter.

There's a DIY on Renntech that shows how to install this very lip splitter. I'm thinking of getting one too. About $150-$200 IIRC and is OEM.

is it ok to put the aerokit wing with the splitter ? I know Porsche had a list of approved front aerodynamic part in order to put the rear wing..

Also do you think the rear wing will add or remove value from my currently 100% stock 996 ?

I wanted to put this on my '04 C2 as well. My concern was how this is blended in with the 2 black spoiler edges by the tires. I asked the gentleman on the DYI site how he did this, but he never really explained how or what he did, and none of the pics have a clear shot of what I am talking about. I would LOVE to put this baby on though, just don't want it to look half-assed at those corners!

yeah the GT3 bumper are just super expensive and look almost same as the regular ones I think. And I like my current bumper... I check the DIY and he talk about dremel... so I think he might have works the part a little bit to fit.

He had to cut off the ends to make it fit. I agree it needs to look OEM and the other options are uber expensive. Stock '02 and up are pretty nice.

Just keep your original rear deck if you are concerned about value. you can always swap it back.

That is not the cup lip. It is the street GT3 lip. It is easy to do on the MkI as well like Ferdinand. I did it many years ago on my MkI CAB. I have a thread over on Renntech explaining it. Not hard at all.

Now that I look at it you are correct, my Cup lip sits further out on the sides and is flatter looking.

This is almost identical to mine other than I have the side skirts. To save cost get the GT3-RS bumper, it's cheaper as it's a motorsport part.

The cup splitter does fit to the stock Carrera bumper, follow the instructions mentioned by others, you need to trim the ends slightly. I used a small hack saw and sanded smooth when I had my old stock bumper. It really does improve the look and at speed helps reduce lift. It doesn't produce any significant downforce but actually reduces lift by diverting more air from under the car.

The little black pieces I was speaking about don't really give a flush surface to mount the spoiler to! The rest of the under nose is nice and flat, and a piece of cake to mount the lip spoiler to. I did a similar chin spoiler on my '03 mustang GT, and it mounted beautifully, but the entire under nose was a flat surface. I know the install on the DYI site, the edges that stuck out too far into the wheel area, were cut off with a dermal.
