The shape hasn’t changed. The finish is too shiny for me though. I’m just trying to find out if anyone has any spares of the old version that they’re willing to sell me. If not I’ll probably get a Cup lip.

Yeah cup looks pretty shiny and not well finished which makes sense, it's for a race car. There's seams in the plastic etc.

Has anyone compiled a list of the price points on Gen 2 997.2 front lips?

I am definitely one of those guys who does not prefer the CUP lip. I don't want it hanging down any further than it has to.

So I'm wondering if Gert, or FVD, or any other options compare,... or whether anyone has bought & tried this one...
