Not any good lips out there for my 05 stock bumper and didn’t want to change bumpers out just yet so I improvised. Took a gamble by buying this 997.2 specific lip but after researching dimensions and pics I pulled the trigger. Figured, if it didn’t work I’d re-sell it to one of the 09-12 guys. Slight gap on the corners but I’m gonna remedy that tomorrow with a heat gun. Silver plasti-dip to match and peel later if I want it black. Check it!

Your lip spoiler looks great! I wouldn't change a thing on the overall look, but be careful, front window tint is illegal in Georgia. They will allow about 6 inches for sun glare, but it appears that yours is 100% covered. Word to the wise!

Nicely done. It looks great! Another front lip option is Maxton Design. ECS Tuning is the US distributor. Only downside is the wait. It takes a couple months to ship from Poland. Mine is still en route and won't arrive until Feb!

Your Maxton lip looks a lot different than the company photo. Is there a reason for that?

There’s definitely more of an air gap in your pic than in the factory pic. Strange.

Your car looks awesome with that lip man!

Do you have the part number for that 997.2 lip?
