Default best looking 997.1 turbo lower front spoiler

which lower spoiler to you like the best. My stock one which must be fiberglass cracks if you start the car up. what do you use that is stable and has a bit more flair than the flat front stock one.
Thanks
Mark

Check the past threads about the one commonly for sale on ebay - aerokit style super cheap (~$200). I've been really happen with it and also bought have a spare for the inevitable point when that's needed...

I think like this (taken off eBay - there's a few people selling replicas).

I would stay away from any made from fiberglass. I purchased this from a forum member, plastic quality is good, just havent had the chance to install it just yet...ive been waiting to change out the springs on the coil overs so it doesn't scrape as much.

I like the speedart BTR spoiler. Looks OEM but more aggressive. Sits about 1" lower though.

All I can say is any place I've taken my turbo with the tech art it's a show stopper...now I have some nice wheels and lowered it as well but that kit looks amazing on the car.

To be perfectly honest... I like the Aero lip style spoiler. As previously posted you can get an aerokit style super cheap (~$200) from ebay.

That looks really good. Here's a couple pictures of my Techart similar to yours but mine has the Sharkwerks carbon fiber front lip. I'm seriously thinking about changing this out for the original Techart Type 1 version. The carbon fiber one looks good but as you can tell hangs lower - it scrapes just about any low dip even when being careful.

Ebay aero style on mine. I think I only paid ~$100 for it. At that price it can be treated as a consumable and relieves a lot of anxiety for traveling to new places. I know *all* the parking lot entrances/exits around where I live, but have found myself in situations when out of town where I entered a parking lot with no issue, but then found the exit to be completely impassable without dragging.

Do you know what ebay seller you bought your from? How was the fit?

ikonmotorsports is the ebay seller. It was only $93.99 when I bought mine in late 2015 ($103.99 now). The fit is good for the price, but not perfect. If I paid $500 or whatever the OEM cost, I would expect better. If you look below the passenger side radiator duct on my car, you can see it protrudes slightly, maybe 1/8"~1/4". It's like it doesn't want to stay fully seated right there, but it is definitely *much* less noticable than the mangled OEM lip that was there previously. I'll give it a look this evening. Also of note, the pictures ikon shows on the car are not the actual lip you will receive, but I like the the actual lip much better than the one they show on the car. There are other sellers with the same lip that have the correct pictures, but I bought mine from ikon. I assume they all come the same mold somewhere in the far east.
