Default Turbo Chin Spoiler Question

So, the chin spoiler on my 05 TTS got wrecked pulling onto a lift. Don't think I can repair it, and am looking for any advice on a good looking replacement. I know that it's a matter of taste, but any favorites out there? My car id GT Silver Metallic, but I might go with balck or CF. Any thoughts appreciated.

MA Shaw makes a nice aero replica. there's a company that does ads on E-bay and I think they have an aero among several other things. Name is Xtreme... something or other. I bought one from them several years ago that had some little winglets or sluiceways on the side. It was fiberglass and looked good. Similar to something I've seen on a 993 in years past. The fiberglass made it easy for me to build and bolt on a home-made splitter.

The 4S lip @ 1/2 the TT price.

And it's a good "street" option to reduce curb scrapes, etc. (and only about $150). For the track, you'll want the Turbo lip or the aero unit.

I busted my lip getting on my lift forgetting to put the ramp extenders on and snapped it right off. The dealer one is like $350 or something like that. I ordered one from a company on eBay for $100 plus $30 shipping. It's poly, not fiberglass. Forget the name of the company though.

I am moving to a lip splitter to balance my wing....the key is balance.

Stock wing, stock splitter.

No wing (c4s), c4s front.

Aero front, aero in back...

GT2 front, gt2 in back.

In an ideal world. If you don't go over 100mph, any will be fine. If you drive faster/on track, I would recommend balancing the front and rear of the car!

My 2c only.

(AWE's price was unknown to me...ouch)
