Default Best place to get identical replacement for 997.2 GT3 front lip spoiler?

Hi all,

I've read threads that talk about the variations of the front lip spoilers available for GT3s. I'm interested in an exact replacement for mine ('11 GT3).

Can somebody provide a link to a place that sells them at a reasonable price?

Thanks,

-Bobby

Thanks. I guess $255 is a decent price?

Appreciate it.

I know this is a stupid question, but what is the difference between them?

RS and GT3 are the same and the cup is different?

Not a stupid question. I would go with cup too. It is more flexible and cheaper than oem/stock. Stock tends to rip/tear and cup is flexible enough that is just scratches. Believe there may be some slight downforce advantage when tracking but I could be fantasizing about this. My experience is .1 and don't know for sure if this applies to .2

The way I think ...

Cup = disposable and cheap. I run it in my own car
OEM = when I sell the car

Cup is not as flexible as you think...

look like your RS is eating biofuel. A "green"car so to speak.
