Cheapest front lip spoiler? Who gots?
Getting full detail and want to add a new front lip so it perfect for at least 36 hours.
Suncoast says almost 300. Local dealer wants 375. Have these gone up?
Gracias

Also looking for a cup style front lip with no vent holes to replace my beat up OEM 2007 lip. Does the FVD lip give the same downforce as the cup lip? It looks like it's the same dimensions as the CUP but has vent holes.

There are 2 cup lips, with and without holes. FVD sells the motorsport part. you should be able to find them from local race shops in the ~150 range. No idea price on OEM lip... mine is on the shelf since i got the car 2 years ago, been through MANY cup lips.

Had mecahanic install was perfect fit like stock 997.1 . Used same hardware so very easy install.
Sorry cannot find seller name.

I prefer the OEM lip. The cup lip hangs a full inch lower and is more flexible. Unfortunately, the cup lip rips apart easier. My OEM lips have been scraped repeatedly and even pulled loose from the holding tabs, but can be re-attached and still look decent.
Suncoast prices for OEM lips were $240 with $60 shipping from FL to CA back in 2011. They are now charging $290 without shipping, but only have them primered.
I will accept, and partially understand the increase in price, but what's with this primered lip crap? I want a lip with the looks, flexibility and durability of the original lip. The lips now being sold as OEM are NOT the same. They are all cheap Chinese made roll-up types that, I guess reduces shipping costs, but do not have the same durability and strength.
Does anyone know where a real OEM, non-roll-up type lip can be purchased that does not have primer on it?

"Now", must not be included as "never."

"Production note: In the past, these came from Porsche in black. The latest batch has come in primer, and must be painted black."
Are you aware of the difficulty trying to keep a painted lip looking decent?
