Will Speedster Front Spoiler Lip Fit 997.2 Turbo S??
As we all know, the front chin spoiler is basically disposable, especially if you've modified the suspension. Does anyone know what other OEM options there are for 997.2 Turbos? The Speedster/Sport Classic lip is gorgeous and doesn't hang quite as low. Does anyone know if it will fit or is the front of the turbo much wider? Worst case, I buy it and let you all know : )
Just looking at mine vs the speedster. The bumper on the speedster looks to have more curve. I would bet its close but the turbo would be a little wider. I have looked for parts cross reference and have not foud that it works either.

Thank you for this. I really appreciate you taking the time. I guess the question is whether or not the GTS or any of the listed front bumpers are close to or the same width as the Turbo. I might roll the dice and get one and see if it fits within the window for return at the parts dept. I know it likely produces less downforce but I'm not tracking the car. My reasoning for wanting to try this in lieu of the standard lip is to prevent so much scraping (my car has suspension mods) and to do something different.
Can anyone tell me if the GTS or any of these listed models have the same front bumper width as the Turbo? I'm not opposed to slightly modifying the lip to make it fit.
I'm quite sure you would need to upgrade the front Bumper cover. It won't fit the turbo. My friend upgraded his 997 4S and changed out the bumper cover..That speedster lip would not fit on his standard cover. So it definitely won't fit the turbo
Where there is a will, there is a way... I consulted my dudes at BBi ( https://www.bbiautosport.com/ )and they pulled out their magic wand and made it happen. Upon my arrival, Charles and Betim called down their go-to bodywork guys from https://www.bellsautosport.com/. They were there in like 10 minutes to devise a plan. I bought a factory Speedster lip to see if it fit... it came up about 2-3 inches short on each side. So BBi gave me a turbo lip they had laying around the shop (free of charge) and let me slice and dice it to make the Speedster lip longer. There was more involved but that's the condensed version of the story. Before, during and after pics below.
The most notable part of this whole experience is the professionalism, quality, courtesy, expertise and willingness to make a customer happy from BBi and Bell's Autosport. All of this took place in about 2 days while BBi did some maintenance on the car itself. The killer part was that the lip project, start to finish cost me basically the same amount of money as a primed Turbo lip from the Porsche parts counter before the cost of being painted. I'd like to mention that I used to do bodywork and know great work when I see it. I have an extremely high standard of expectation and I am blown away with how great this turned out.
BBi and Bell's have a customer for life. Thank you to Charles, Betim, Dimitri, Bell's crew and anyone I am forgetting (I'm bad with names).

Well done, looks spot on...btw I like your centerlock wheels and the PCCB...very nice TT P car dude. Kinda funny though, I am doing the opposite; going factory front painted aerokit spoiler/lip and having my car lowered with H&R springs (along with a boatload of other upgrades) and while the car is away going under the knife I am driving around Cocoa Beach in my jeep doing Recon on everywhere I usually drive to develop a plan of attack to keep my front end clean...lol. Here mine is lowered but before the aerokit spoiler/lip.
Speedster spoiler lip on the Turbo! The Turbo looks like a delicate ***** now. You are losing the title of the word Turbo. You think the Porsche 997 Turbo designers hadn't tried what you have done? Observe the entire car like a critic, look at the size and shape of the side air intakes, shape of head lights and side lights, width of the rear, analyze the design of the wheels & really get into observing everything. Now look at the Speedster spoiler lip on the Turbo, and for last look at the Speedster: https://sanfranciscosportscars.com/v...-911-speedster There are people who cure their stress by lying to them self, and others who have the money to get what they want.
