Default WTB 993 Turbo S front lip - Back order for months!

I posted this in the parts section and I didn't get much response, so I thought i'd try in here.
I'm after a 993 Turbo S front lip spoiler if anyone has one, used or new. I've tried Carnewal, Suncoast and 911uk.com. Same response - The part is on back order and months out. I don't really want to wait that long. I also tried Gettydesign, but they wouldn't sell me one if it's going on a road car.
Anyone point me in another direction or want to sell me one?

Post a part number, if you have one. Might lead to a "crowd sourcing" success story!

I forgot to mention Teile. I emailed them earlier this month regarding that used lip spoiler. They replied saying it's no longer available. So I asked if they had a new one in stock and they don't. Has anyone else experienced a back order from Porsche?

I'm guessing the Turbo S spoiler is not the same as the Turbo, but just in case it is it looks like dC Automotive might have one.

Why would Getty design care what kind of car it is? You're the customer.

Thanks SpeedyS2, but that's not it. It screws and bonds over a factory Turbo bumper.
TheBen - Everything looked good with Getty, I had a good chat on the phone, he took my order and card details and said it'd take 2 weeks to make. Then he calls me the next day to say that they won't make it if it's going on a road car, only for track. I found it odd myself, but I didn't want to question 'why?'

Pops up on AutoAtlanta:

(assuming the PN is correct...)

Add to cart and see if they have it, or have you called them...?

My guess on Getty? They got tired of replacing lips, when people scrubbed em off on speed bumps/curbs/anything....

I would guess the quality of the Getty version isnt up to factory spec and people werent happy with the look, track cars dont have to be concours

If these are on factory back order no one is going to be able to "find" one!
