Default New sports front apron for 997.2s - pic posted

Just installed the new in Exclusive Sports Front Apron (coded XAS) in my '09 CS2.
I thought the car looked kind of standing too high off the ground in front but didnt want the full aero because i dont like the rear wing (too loud for me).
The front apron is quite expensive but transformed the look of my car, it looks great. I think the design is a slight variation on the front apron of the new Sport Classic. Makes the car look meaner, lower more aggressive without being too much. I will post pics soon.

A few pics are worth millions of words.

The GT-R looking front end can't be the Porsche Exclusive apron the op purchased, right? Or are you saying the lower lip is similar?

The whole piece looks very aftermarket and un-Porsche like.

I like the aggressive look it gives, but agree that it looks more aftermarket though.

.
I'm sorry, what I did is worse than that. The OP didn't include pics and more than a few hours had passed so I just stuck a photo in so listers would have something to look at and discuss when they opened the post. "Post is worthless without pics."

Hopefully we'll get the correct photo sooner rather than later as a result.

Here is a pic of the Sport Classic front lip/spoiler. I would expect the OP's part to be similar to this.

Is it my driving or am I the only one who would end up scratching that lip on the first week. At least once a week I can hear those rubber flaps in front of the front wheels touching the ground on some ramp/driveway. Love the look, though.

It's not you! What bugs me is how long the car is and how short it appears from the driver's seat. I'm always hitting the lip on those parking curbs. Poor guy with a white lip is going to have to carry around a bottle of typewriter "white out."
