Any porsche dealership.

No it can't be rolled. It's a solid piece.

Yes, I installed the 991 sport lip. It looks incredible! Just be careful with the front lip being lowered to the ground.

Success!!! Emc iv.done it!! I've copied.your style. I placed it like yours...I prefer it a bit in the bumper rather than jutting out. Thanks it looks great and very reasonable. I used 8 screws and I put slots on the bumper.for.the sides. This is where the tabs at the end go.into and lock the sides there's no letting go. Once the tabs are inside the sides are locked

That looks really good Rick.

I think that these look great and I am thinking of trying it. However, I am concerned with the lip getting chewed up like a GT3 front splitter. I know that it is a disposable part and am ok with putting a new one on every so often, but if you are putting screws into the plastic, will it tougher to put replacements on in the future? I am not sure how the GT3 lip attaches, but my assumption is that there are permanent mounting clips that make it easy to replace.
Thanks for the help.

My car is lowered (TechArt springs). I have no problem with speed bumps, but I do have to approach my steep driveway at a specific angle, and I reverse out to maintain the same angle.

The issue is when you head nose first into a deep "u" or "v" shaped drainage section that you might find when entering/exiting parking lots.
As my car is not a daily driver I have no issues at all, and am just careful to look out for these areas and avoid them.

I would not personally use this lip + lowering springs if my 997.2 was used as a daily driver. However, if your car is not lowered, I don't think you'll have a problem on a DD.
