Sport Classic 997 front lip?
Lots of threads here about front lips/aero-- but haven't seen this specifically. Anyone know if you can buy the Sport Classic lip? I really like this one, looks understated and I think it would look nice on my C4S cab and I suspect it's not likely to have adverse effects (even if it doesn't contribute meaningfully, either)...
Thoughts...?

there is only an aftermarket one that resembles that front lip that was sold on eBay years ago. there is a beautiful red 997.2 here on the forums that has that lip.
unfortunately the oem sport classic lip will not fit the 997.2 front bumper, only the gts/sport classic front bumper.

I think it will fit not only the GTS but also cars equipped with Aerokit front bumper.

Would look great with a ducktail.

I am surprised more 997.2 guys just don't buy the GT3 TEK or whatever it is, front lip. It looks pretty good on the 997.2 IMHO. I hate the .1 version, which is why I went with the GT3 look

The picture I attached is a stock Sport Classic... Maybe similar to GTS?
Suncoast seems to be the best bet so far evidently --- see links in this thread!
Thanks all... I think I may end up with the more manageable 991 thin front lip. I like that a lot better than the GT3tek one... again, personal preference...

Always loved those wheels though. Might have to get me some of those
although not sure how they'd look on my .1. Have factory black lobsters on mine with polished lip so don't think change should be too dramatic.

2500 is too much, I think i saw a good condition mint one a few years ago go for 800usd. you can find mint ones regularly ask for 1500 on eBay.
being the cheapass i was i just paid 200usd for the standard bumper instead.

That looks super nice. Why does all of the aftermarket companies have such cheap looking trash that I would not slap on a Civic? This lip could not be that hard to make or copy. I was one of the VERY FIRST to use the Misha Porsche Turbo tail on my 04 996tt cab back in 04/05 and it was a decent product except for the heavy weight, but even the Misha front lips look like a cheap, poorly fitting, after thought product slapped on over something stock that was not removed or replaced with a correct fitting product.
Anyhow . . . I ran across this looking for ducktails. Is that Suncoast duck tail on that car? I do not like the fly duck one as it look ridiculous when up. The Misha one looks okay, but I would love to get a better look at the one in the above picture.
