It's just that $$ put into some mods are not really recovered in a sale and before you know it, you could have purchased a Cup or other dedicated track appliance.
I would have to disagree. The maintenance costs of a cup car are extremely higher than a street GT3. Cost of freshing the cup engine is scary.

I thought the Cup cars had the same motors as the street cars??

I was referring to purchase price.

If you don't take a GT3 Cup motor to redline on each shift, you can significantly prolong the time between rebuilds to ~100 hours; DE vs racing.

BTW, any motor driven hard on a track for ~100 hours (street or PMNA) will likely need some servicing/attention.

Yep, I'm talking about the black plastic lip. I have the standard aerokit lip on my car now but I want to upgrade to the larger cup lip you have on your car.

I take it yours is not painted then? What is the P/N?

Nope not painted. This was just discussed recently in another thread highlighting the part numbers and differences are here: https://rennlist.com/forums/996-forum/332315-aero-i-chin-spoiler-or-aero-ii-cup-spoiler-feedback-requested.html
