Guide to replacing front spoiler lip
After 10,000 miles and many unplanned encounters with driveway entrances and curbings, my GT4 front spoiler lip was due for replacement. Given that my car sits about 0.5” lower due to 19” wheels, my front lip is especially vulnerable. I found a written description of the lip changing process with pics by rennlist user Lodi in the GT3 section, but couldn’t find a video guide. So I put this together to hopefully help others interested in changing out their front spoiler lips themselves. Sourced the replacement lip from Suncoast online—good price and quick shipping.

Thank you.
I have a feeling that I will be needing this.... sooner than later.

Good video.........(no loud music)..... how about doing a vid for access for inside the front screens so as to clean up the coolers and debris that enters.
Or maybe just a few sentences about this? I don't want to take apart up or down and waste time. Thanks!

I didn't need to use any pry tool on mine. I just removed the screws in the wheel well area and then just gave a strong tug on the spoiler starting from one end and going around to the other end. Installation was reverse with just a firm push to insert the tabs. This way no damage to the bumper cover. 😊

Not sure I’m brave enough to tackle that yet, but if I do I’ll post it.

Good point—thanks. When I took delivery of the car two years ago, I balked at the idea of spending $$$ on PPF. In retrospect, it would have probably been a good idea to have had it installed. My car’s still in great shape without it, but it would have eliminated some worry.
