Default Front spoiler lip 991.2 gt3

Looking for an OEM front spoiler lip to replace mine... unfortunately scraped mine pulling out of a driveway. I can get one on pelican parts for around $450, apparently they used to me much cheaper?

991.1 GT3 lip was and is much cheaper. .2 lip costs twice as much. P increased prices a lot during the last 2 years...

Makes sense, just like the cost of everything else sadly!

Can anyone advise the Porsche part number for the 991.2 GT3 from lip (not RS)?

Many thanks,

Mark

Found this cheaper part for Cup cars-- does anyone know if this would fit a 991.2?

the cup lip DOES fir 991.2 GT3, I have one on my car, but its part of Manthey kit, and the sides of the lip where it meets the front wheel wells are larger and w/o some Manthey trim it will "stick out"

This is the same deal with the RS lip, correct? Where the lip will look like it sticks out a bit if you don't have the matching vertical RS side pieces as well.

that's my understanding, also I do not think the OEM RS side trim will fit a GT3 bumper.

I recall (probably wrongly) that there was another aftermarket vendor selling side trim that would work accordingly - but I cannot recall who!

Correct, the RS bumper has a hole near the side indicator to fit the RS side trim.

Careful ordering this specific part via Pelican. They crewed up my order on the lip spoiler back in the Summer. They sent me the RS lip and it took over a month for their customer service to agree to take the return and even longer to reimburse me for the shipping, which was substantial ($190+). Even so, they didn't fully make me whole and the whole ordeal cost me about $50 and a ton of time and frustration to claw back most of what I paid. At the end of all this, it was still unclear to me whether or not they have the actual .2 GT3 spoiler in stock. To be fair, I've purchased a ton from Pelican in the past and this was the only time they really crapped the bed.

After scouring the internet I finally bit the bullet and ended up ordering it from Suncoast for $595 plus $77 for shipping. Like you, I understand it was waaaay cheaper just a few years ago. The good news is it was very easy to remove the old spoiler and install the new one.

Good luck!

Thank you!
The side pieces from Salter Aero will only fit the RS lip, not the Cup lip, correct?

Has anyone of you been successful with Manthey to order only the side pieces without the wing?

Depending on the damage, you can repair the front lip - I bought a plastic welding kit on amazon to repair mine when I cracked it- is perfect, no, is good enough give the road / track damage from rocks - yes.
