Newbie - Front spoiler lip
Hi guys - (also posted on the regular 996 forum) anyone replaced their little plastic lip? Mine is damaged and even though I'm all about OEM, just can't see spending $350+ on a strip of plastic so maybe this is it....

Yup, that'll work. I agree $350 is a tough pill to swallow for a "disposable" item.

If it's an exact replica, why do you have to drill extra holes? Just curious..

Same picture in your link as my link, but still had to drill holes. I'm sure I could have let it self tap but I didn't.

Looks great and great qaulity. No drilling required. Me an my 5 year old son put in on in 5 minutes.
Cheers, Mat

I paid $305 for a new factory lip. I have the ebay $79 lip sitting on my storage shelf in my shop.
