Considering this piece but want to confirm its the same height as the stock lip. Those who have can you take a tape measure and let me know the exact height of the lip ( as measured from top to bottom of the lip) at the center as well as at the sides

Thanks

I'll be curious to see what measurements you get...but based on the description, it looks like it is not the same.

From Suncoast's description of the Turbo 997 Aerokit:

Note: reduces ground clearance and maximum approach angle on gradients.

It depends on who has the tape measure and where you measure from)))))))

I thought you were done modding? 829. plust paint you can get something better for a bit more.

I recently ordered the aero lip for my 997.2 from suncoast. It's in the shop getting painted, and the rear lower valence (wasn't an option when I ordered my car). Getting them put on next week, so if you can wait until then, I can measure and take pics.

Lol!!! You called me out!

All joking aside first I'm going to see how my stock lip holds up since I installed the GMG springs. I think the black stock lip on meteor gray looks ok so I'm in no rush, especially if it scrapes a lot more with the lowered ride height

If I do get a new lip I'd like one that doesn't sit any lower than stock. And honestly I'm not 100% sold on the OEM aero splitter, not sure it's that different from my stock front lip

What other option do you like that are stock height??

Perfect, I can wait, no rush

Thanks in advance for taking the time to measure and report back

Did you see VIDs post on the mesh grilles at the 6? I did like that carbon lip there. And its not as low as the stock black plastic bit...
Hmmmmmm... opportunities are endless.

Agreed for the price it's not that much of a difference but again GT2 side skirts are epensive yet it's a great subtle mod that you won't notice until you compare with OEM side by side. I like the OEM because it obviously looks like it belongs on the car, some other lips are too bulky and look out of place, however I do enjoy my Werks 1 lip. See below.

This is the same lip I have, it's robust and does not sit too low. Art I would PM VID997 he has a new one in a box maybe he will give you a deal for his and you can have the crack refinished, from what I hear you have a shop that is familiar with fixing carbon pieces. Well this would be a real carbon piece

I put some pics in my album on 6speed for you with tape measure ,whats great about the aero lip is it's made out of then same material as the stock lip & can take a beating just like the regular lip & bounces right back,try that with $1500 knock off cf lip lol

No I don't have a Rottec lip!!!!!!

Ask and you shall receive....

I just measured my Aerokit lip (took it off after I lowered my turbo, wanted to see how liveable lowering it about an inch would be). Since I've lowered it, I've scraped the OEM lip plenty.

I don't have my turbo right now, so I wasn't able to get mearsurements for a OEM stock lip. Remember the Aerokit lip does stick out just slightly.

Aerokit front lip
At the side: Just a tick over 2.5"
At the front: about 2.25"

Modified, Thanks or all the pics!

I just measured my stock lip and it is 2 3/8" height in the front, so just an 1/8" difference vs the aero lip

Agreed; I swapped out my OEM lip with the aerolip; I also wrapped it with clear bra so I think it helps when I invariably scrap the ground.
Looks much better !
