part numbers for both please
cup lip has less clearance than regular gt3 lip but is more flexible so less prone to cracking

Wow! That nearly happened to me. My spoiler touched ground went under the car and the tire touched it. The other side of the spoiler was stubborn and I saw a bit of this type of damage.

I think I've purchased spoiler lips from the majority of the vendors mentioned in the posts. My last bit of advice is to think long term. $20 is not enough to prevent me from working with one or two vendors and developing a good working relationship with sales, service and techs over the years. Ultimately I'd say buy from the vendor you'd like to work with long term as opposed to the least expensive. JBO

Agree 1000% on this.

And I'll go even one step further on how great FVD is...

About a month ago, my 964 Turbo was in the shop with motor out ($12k worth of pre-emptive replacements on sensors, belts, seals, o-rings, etc etc),... and we noticed the wear on my suspension Spring Plates (those are way up under the front-side of motor & are difficult to keep an eye on over the years),... anyway, Rhonda was out on vacation for the week, and I really needed their Spring Plate set quickly. Alizee connected me with Alex benM over in Germany, and Alex literally TOOK CARE OF ME on a Friday morning East Coast time, and had the parts shipped out of their Miami warehouse THAT SAME DAY!! ... I received them early the next week. AND Alex was perfectly willing to extend the same RL discount that Rhonda provides, even as he was entering my order from overseas. Keep in mind, 6hrs difference, it was almost Friday evening for Alex in Germany. I could hear his kids playing in the background before their dinner. I thanked him so many times for taking the time to take care of me. He had great praise for Rhonda and their US team. Just goes to show how deep their customer commitment runs within FVD.

Rhonda, you and your team are phenomenal. Keep up the great work.

I have two Cup lips and one OEM. One of the Cups is like new, no marks, the other has a few scratches. Look up post on this and make me an offer.

Short track : with brake ducts : better brake cooling
Long track : no brake ducts : more downforce

Just placed my order on a new cup lip with Rhonda@FVD. Received a Rennlist discount and after enquiring about the cost of shipping Rhonda did some research and discovered the dimensions were skewed, which once corrected cut the shipping price in half. First time doing business with this company, but will happily return as a customer.
