Yes, in all but the flattest of areas the front spoiler is a consumable item.

Yes, the one I bought on eBay is made from paintable plastic. Many people have planted their spoilers and rocker panels to match the car. The Porsche factory even did it as a option.

I have never found a good reason to paint mine.

No, but Toth Splitter does.

I think the GT2 bumper is different shape slightly, the nose comes out a little more is what it appears to me from the few I've seen in person and photos. When looking at aftermarket options such as Toth splitter, he lists separate parts for GT2 and TT... Probably a good reason for that.

I prefer the black, but I need to get the bumper painted. The side skirts are cracked from jacking and need to be repaired.

I thought maybe paint all 3 at the same time.

Just thinking out loud.

correct, the GT2 nose is a few inches longer out the front bottom.

Just installed eBay Aero lip replica. Fits very well and looks great. Probably best $100 spent.
