Cleaned the air filter and changed the membrane under the airbox to a fresh one.

Cool! I didn’t know you could change the membrane. Please share the part number or where to order from?

that's one sweet lip man, i have been trying to find one for my Aerokit bumper and have been unsuccessful so far. Mine is lowered so i hesitate to put something so nice on it as I'm sure it will get destroyed. i threw a wrap on mine and it looks like crap.

Sad to hear fitment is only 7/10 as far as fitment, but from a picture it looks great!

sunsetporscheparts.com is where I got it from. They are good if you send them a photo and your vin, they can find the part. I tried to find my order email but couldn’t find it.

I’ve had all sorts of tiny one pieces parts replaced and fixed by contacting them. Good luck!

Thanks guys!!

Since the washer hoses are under the front of the bumper - there isnt a screw-in method to install the lip flush in the front area of the bumper - unless there is a custom fabricated screw system mounted via the oem lip system (such as on my prev werks1 lip) is manufactured. but even so, there isnt enough CF material that would extend far enough back to make it work.

with that said, the front of the lip mounting flush isnt a the real problem - its the area around the grills, due to the 'oem-lip cutout gap' for the 997.2 carrera bumper, and the fact that thats where the bumper curves the most.

with that said, next summer im going to get the 3rd rad installed - and when the bumper is off will figure out a way to screw in the corner gaps of the bumper into the lip. its not that tough at all to be honest.

for now, here is the gap that is looking ugly - the other side doesnt have the gap.

for the front of the bumper - i used a long strip of 3m tape + adhesion promotor - it is holding on STRONG (surprisingly)

Installed my TPC DSC. Picking through the wiring loom and tapping wires was nerve-wracking, for sure. On the ~15 mile shakedown drive, I was surprised at how much better the car felt, in both regular and 'sport' suspension modes. Even in the little bit of spirited driving I did, the sport mode feels soooo much better. Less dive/squat and an overall better feel in the rebound. So far this seems to be a great upgrade investment and looking forward to exploring it more. Thanks to @TPC Racing for a quality product and speedy delivery.

I wish there was a way to add the 3-way accelerometer to the 997.1 without tapping into wiring, but if it hasn't been done by now I'm guessing it isn't possible.

Yea, it's a game changer.

Probably the 2nd best bang for the buck upgrade on these cars right behind the gundo hack.
