I heard the 6gt3 cup splitter can be retrofitted on the 7 gt3. Jk. It is hilarious how easy to snap on a 7 gt3 lip vs a 6 gt3 lip. I remember everytime when I use to track with Potter he has his hammer to install his 6gt3 lip spoiler in the paddock. Fun times back when. Another fun bit of trivia is watching Mooty try to remove his cl on his 997.2 gt3rs for 1st time- priceless : ). Mike

I use the cup lip on my .2 GT3 and remove it to load on the trailer for track days. Literally can be removed in 45 seconds. Makes it a lot easier to load on a trailer.

Yeah - but find a Porsche place close to home with a Porsche Motorsports account. They can get you a good discount on the lip. I have a few at home.

Do NOT buy cheap PU (poly urethane) ones on ebay - they look nice/cheap, but get destroyed in 2-3 months as they are stiff and tear. The real Cup lips are very flexible and will last waaay longer, and look better. Get used to scrapping everything..

Is $125-150 the price most pay for the PMNA .1 cup lip?

Also, the ones I've bought (PMNA cup) still tear and are pretty stiff.. within a few months I have multiple tears.. I keep driving as badge of honor but just wondering if others have run into similar issues.

Local shop with a PMNA account. 125+shipping ~10-15. Most porsche race shops (or involved in porsche racing) have the account.

If you want me to order you a couple let me know. I just put in my order for 2 more.
