You should put clear shelf liner on the from to save the paint.

I would have.
When I left the paint shop with my new GT2 style front bumper, within 5 minutes two rocks kicked up on the freeway and put a couple gashes in the bumper.

Which GT2 front bumper did you use? Precision Porsche? Also, did you do the entire ducting, or just the bumper? I want to go GT2 front bumper and Rear Tail eventually. Mine is also Silver. Do you have the GT2 Rear Tail?

Yes it is a Precision Porsche bumper, with the entire ducting to make it functional, along with the GT2 style rear wing.

Is the bottom edge of the lip higher off the ground on a GT2 front end? My car is lowered to GT2 height and has the stock front end and the E-Bay aero lip on it and seems quite low at 4.25" off the ground. i have already destroyed one lip in the month since i lowered it.

4.25" is IMO low.

I have X73 with OEM wheels and tires and my OEM front lip is 4 7/8" off of the surface.

Makes absolute perfect sense that GT2 height and aero lip would be lower then.

If anybody had the measurement of a GT2 lip clearance i would appreciate it. May need to make a modified aero lip that has a little more clearance and possibly a splitter plate.

My spoiler height is 4.25 inches. Not very many issues with scraping.
Since the aero lip protrudes out, you need more ground clearance.

Hated the stock rubber key. Felt the Turbo was deserving of a nicer key. Super easy to change over. Just have to be really careful. Got it from Suncoast. I forgot to take a pic of the before lol but here's the new key. The little "911" lights up when I unlock the car. So far, I like it!

Drove it! It's been a few weeks.

Did some fluid level checking to make sure everything was nice and clean, was poking around under the frunk after checking clutch resevoir and noticed this:
Does that look like LoJack to anyone? The part number does not seem to be Porsche, unless that's the alarm transmitter box. The wiring doesn't quite look factory fresh either.

Thoughts?
