For anyone out there with an aerokit, my body shop set me up with a great solution to protect against the usual scrapes one gets on the spoiler lip. It's just a rubberized strip that fits around the bottom - those of you who have better backgrounds in engineering than do I could probably put one together yourselves. It looks great and makes the aerokit look even meaner by adding one more angle at the bottom, it barely cost anything, and I've already taken it down a steep drive way and scraped the bumper and it didn't leave a scratch. I'm really happy with it.

I got it done at Los Gatos Collision (http://www.losgatoscollision.com/) which is the official body shop of my authorized dealer. The guy I worked with there was Rick Montgomery, who is excellent. It only ran me $100 for the one I had installed, plus a spare in case I ever need to replace it. They installed this one, but it looks like it would be a pretty straightforward install - it's self-adhering and it's custom formed to wrap around the spoiler lip, so it should just be a matter of lining up the ends flush with the end of your spoiler lip.

Like I said, I gave it a pretty good scape going down a driveway and there's not the slightest mark on it (whereas the spoiler lip would have chipped up all over the place). For what it's worth, they installed it over my already chewed up lip and it covered up all the pre-existing scrapes and chips, so I didn't even need to do a replacement. Just attach it and go. It seems like a must add for anyone with an aerokit who doesn't want to swap lips every 6 months.

That is a great idea....any possibility you can get more information on the item itself and or where they get it from?

Is it more of a plastic or a hard rubber....did the material come in white or did they paint it?

Possibly a close up shot of the way the end terminates in at the wheel wheel so we can see a cross section of the material..

Thanks

I can post photos of all that, since I have my spare.

The company that fabricated it is called Pro Trim. I have a phone number for them that I will post as soon as I get home.

The material is white all the way through - and I understand that they have it in all Porsche colors if there are concerns about color matching. It's a very durable but flexible rubber - I could guess what kind but I'm just a complete dunce with that stuff. It feels like a denser version of weather stripping; it's easily wound up into a coil, but didn't fray when being dragged on the ground by a 3000 lb car.

interesting - PTS too?

That would be great if you can get me the phone number of Pro Trim....I have to say that is a great find/idea....I am beyond extremely careful and I go thru at least one chin spoiler a year...I was at one point thinking to have an 1/8" aluminum lip made up to attach to the bottom as a guard but then realized you really want the flex in the spolier if you accidently drag or scrape something...the rubber trim seems to be a great way of dealing with it...low profile not overly obtrusive....if you can get me that info it would be much appreciated.

Here is a photo of my spare spoiler lip bumper. You can see how it is angled to fit easily over the edge of the lip, and how flexible it is. For what it's worth, I gave the spoiler another decent scrape yesterday and the rubberized strip still looks brand new.

The number for Pro Trim is (408) 978-2188.

Great thanks again will be calling them.

Great. Good luck. I hope you're as happy with it as I have been.

If you have any issues getting in touch, let me know, and I'll check with my guy at the body shop.

Did a Google search but nothing looked related to this. Any more data on "Pro Trim" so we can try to narrow down?

Neotorque

Just the phone number I posted above. They're in San Jose (or the San Jose area) but my only connection to them is through my body shop.

It's clearly an extrusion. Ideally you would have extrusion available in the right color so that when they're worn the color still shows--instead of just black.

Mine is white all the way through. So far as I know, this is true of all the other colors too, but I'd check with them to be sure.
