Bayson Aero kit front lip Hit or skip??

Looks pretty good, fitment also looks good on the eBay pics. Ite only 139 shipped, thinking about trying it out. What do you guys think?

Is this the place in San Jose, CA? They also advertise in Craigslist. I'd also be interested if anyone here has any experiences. I agree that their prices seem pretty low -- but you know how the saying goes.....

Since I'm local, I might have a chance to check them out this week.

Not sure, I was searching the oem turbo replacement lip on ebay and stumbled upon this.

Lips are the easiest part for a company to make since most of it isn't visible, it can be flexed to match with the car's profile, and they're designed to be a wearable part so in general construction is pretty weak by design (better to destroy your $100 lip and not your several thousand dollar bumper cover!). This is the only part Bayson makes for Porsches, which is pretty typical of a company like theirs where they supply cheaper parts to kids in the Honda/Toyota/etc market that would never fly in a Porsche market.

I'm not very familiar with them, but a simple Google searched yielded a lot of results, most of them good, a few very bad, all regarding fitment. I think you can get an OEM lip though from Pelican for about the same money (maybe cheaper...).

I've been to Bayson R Motorsports. Its a mod shop mainly for Japaneese cars. I got my front lip from them and it was great. Fitment was perfect and was poly just like OEM. I've been running one from them for the past two years. Talked to the owner of the place while I was there and found out he owned a speed yellow 996 GT3 which was his pride and joy so they sell a few select 996 products.

If they are selling an aero kit front lip that must be something new. I might have to get one if they are only $139.

Glad to hear that you had a good experience with them. I'm interested in checking out their aero lip -- especially at that price. My OEM lip is still in OK shape -- but it doesn't hurt to have an extra one around and I like the aero look.

How's the exhaust install going? Any plans to go to EuroSunday tomorrow morning up in Walnut Creek?

i am in the process of coloring matching my side skirts and lower rear bumper as well as the warts, might as well give this a shot. cheap enough to take chance.

I have my Bayson spoiler for about 2 1/2 years, including about 30 track days. No problems at speeds around 145 MPH.

Fit and finish a 9 out of 10 for sure.

I just picked up a Bayson R aero lip. Looks great and I have no problems with fitment. Everything lined up fine. I'll take some pics when I get back home in a couple of weeks.

For the price it can't be beat, especially for a part that's going to get scraped up. If I don't beat it up too bad, I may get the Rottec lip. But I just couldn't justify spending $600 for a lip that I may destroy in a matter of days. So I'm giving the $150 one a try first.

i don't know why more people aren't using the oem 4s lip. i think it looks a lot better than our stock one, and because of its "indent", it doesn't scrape .. quite as much. it's lasted longer than any other i've had. it's like 100 bucks, also on ebay.

Yeah their OE style front lip I would give a 9 out of 10 fitment just like 996twins. The only slight imperfection was a slight bend around one of the openings which I was able to massage out. At $139 I think I will pick up an aero front lip. I've got a non-wart turbo front bumper that I need to get painted so maybe I'll get an aero lip painted while I'm at it.

Exhaust install went well. Got it finished last Sunday and the EP sounds amazing. No Eurosunday for me. Got a full day of things to do. Maybe Santana Row next weekend if the weather is better.
