Front lip spoiler
As we all know, the front lip spoiler is so low it can frequently get scraped or damage on any incline/decline. I bought my 2016 GT4 recently and the dealership told me the part was only like $150. When I look online, it seems it is around $350 ish. Could I be looking at the wrong part? Where can one be had for a decent price?

Suncoast parts is usually default

But there are other dealers selling parts online that may offer a lower price:

Sunset Porsche parts have also historically been pretty good.

And your local dealer parts dept may be willing to price match.

Just picked up my GT4 as well. Seeing the same prices as you for the lip. I did find an eBay knockoff for half that;

I’ve been able to sand the bottom edge of my current lip mostly smooth. Thinking I’ll run it for a month and see how much I’m scraping. If I’m able to keep it fairly clean, I’ll spring for the OEM part, if not, maybe go for the eBay special.

I saw that but had been told fitment is variable. About the best street price from several, is about $250 available from several dealers and I'm not screwing around for $100.
It boils down to proximity/shipping from what I see.

Follow up: Folks, steer clear of Delaware Porsche Parts. 5 days after my order, duly p[aid in full, these F..kers tried to come back at me and change the shipping to $200. That's some sleazy S..t right there. Now I have a PayPal credit tied up for a week.
Got another from Or., within $25 all in, they shipped it UPS, across US for $70, be here less this week.

There is an online company called CARID and they sell GT4 front bumper spoilers made by REPLACE. They are allegedly identical to OE replacement spoilers and are $165 bucks. I normally go with OEM but this is just a plastic spoiler that you are going to mess up again so why not mess up over two of them for the price of one from Porsche. Google CARID Porsche GT4 REPLACE front bumper spoiler.
