Looks like it was meant for the car. Very nice.

I think you did an excellent job, but in my opinion, it doesn't match the nose of the car. just looks a little off.

Looks good but I could hardly tell the difference. Was this done for looks or did you need to replace your "chin spoiler"/lip? Is that what it's called?

As I stated earlier , I like the look. But as someone pointed out, I wonder what this does for the airflow as designed by Porsche? Maybe nothing, I don t claim to know.

Probably increases top speed by 5mph and drops 0-60 by .3 seconds. LOL

who cares! it looks awesome and the OP took the time to do something out of the box. Aero? Does anyone drive THAT fast on public roads for you to even notice? Seriously

Nice one. Will be ordering one to try out. Thanks for "guinea pigging" and posting results!

You missed the point. The rear spoiler goes up and down for a reason, cooling, directing air etc, so why is that not a valid question?

I may be wrong, but i do not think he will be driving the car at speeds where a lip will make a difference in the aerodynamics of the car. Unless its an undercover track beast or something.

I think it would have more to do with airflow disruption for cooling or heat extraction than anything related with downforce.

I think you accidentally bought the wrong part, could not return it, and made the most of it. Congratulations. It looks pretty good! No way in the world I would have attempted it.

I'm not an expert but I doubt there will be a problem honestly. The bumpers for these cars have a skid plate attached to it. So air gets blocked from under the bumper anyway. The lip gets mounted under that point. So there is none/minimal disruption in cooling. The air ducts/grill of the bumper is where most of the cooling comes from, not from under the bumper. So from what i can tell, lips for these cars are mainly for aerodynamic purposes.
