996TT front lip options

Yeah, Im pretty careful but we'll see how long this lasts...

How durable is this piece Ray? I like the idea. I am concerned that it will have one big jagged carbon fiber edge on the bottom after a month...

I've add extra thickness for all my CF lips. I believe for street use, durable is more important than saving weight. It will skid once in a while but the extra thickness made it much stronger and durable. I have this CF lip on my slammed TT for almost 2 years, other than some rock chips, it hold up perfectly.

my concern is that the frayed edges from scraping driveways will look really bad.
In a perfect world, the carbon lips would come with a stainless skid plate on the bottom that would come up just slightly around the bottom leading edge to protect it.

I have the strosek lip even though I ordered it from cargraphic. It is fiberglass so it will paint up nicely. You do need to be extra carful as the lip is not flexible like some so you could destroy it if not careful. My car is lowered but not slammed. I can go over speedbumps (most) without scrubbing. I like the molded in brake ducts that align with the undercar ducts. I have been happy with it. It looks very similar to the aerokit but not as shovel esk and the center section is raisedup a smidge. Looks nice on the car and the clearance issue has not been a problem for me. It also took .3 seconds off my1/4 et. Not really but the visual hp increase is noticable!

Can you post some pics of the front end of your car now as it stands so we can see what it will look like after normal use?

That looks really good. I'll probably hold off till that skid plate is ready.
What is the process for removing and re-installing the lip? I did a search on here and couldn't find it with the keywords I was using.
