Default 997.1 Base bumper with Gt3 lip new on ebay

Hey all!

Came across this lip a few weeks ago and wanted to see if anyone has been the guinea pig!

Fitment looks great, I am just interested to know how it looks from a full side profile shot given the OEM bumper swoops downward by the front tires. I have the 991 conversion lip but this looks like a good alternative as well!

Looks aesthetically nice. But the double-sided 3M is questionable. I have the GT3Tek lip that was also bolted on the underside, and still managed to rip the whole thing off on a particularly steep (and I forgot) driveway.

Hadn't even noticed that! Yeah first ride over 80mph and that thing is being sucked under. Im sure there is enough material to fab like 6 simple straight brackets to be bolted under the bumper and that with 2 screws on the side should suffice.

lots of these ebay ads usually use photos of not the actual product. ie - the imitation lip will use photos of cars with the real lips.

I made this lip from an OEM turbo lip by cutting, heating, and reshaping it. This guy seems to have made a mold of similar design, likely based off of the aerokit turbo lip. I THINK this might be Better Bodies aka GT3tek but not sure. Either way, interested to see if anyone buys this because i will eventually need to replace this one due to scraping and I am not looking forward to making it again

So the seller actually sent me some prototype photos previously and these are the first of the lip actually on the car. I reached out to them for a photo of the side profile, lets see if he sends one over to share

That lip requires the aerokit style bumper.
