Yup, plenty of them are selling for $ 103.99.

Now...if only that can happen with the rear splitter...I really want to get one of these but not willing to pay more than $ 300 for a piece that small.

Geez, $104 - I'm gonna order another one or two. I already trashed one so my freshly-painted second one is on the car now.

 

Just bought this one, $10 off too, so $94 shipped, can't beat that! http://www.ebay.com/itm/301209868086

 

Got mine. Much better quality than it was a year ago and half the price! It appears to have been painted flat black, but the paint is already chipping off a bit! Debating stripping off the paint entirely. However, I plan to just set it aside until the spring, no point in using it as a snow plow during the winter.

 

Ordered one a couple weeks ago for $104 and also bought a spare brand new one from a forum member. He purchased about 1.5 years ago.

Unboxed both and you can see some clear differences. "Old" one was a bit more flimsy/softer plastic (perhaps less chance of cracking?) and also had a shiny black coating on it. It also had a bit more warping on the bottom of the lip (under the car, so not really seen). "New" one was matte, much firmer, and almost felt a little heavier but difficult to tell.

Both required sanding although the "old" one needed a bit more. I sanded both with 400 grit wet sanding sponges and then moved on to adhesion promoter, Basalt Black spray paint (from Paintscratch.com), and then 1K clear from Paintscratch. However, I wasn't all that impressed with the clear so I looked in my garage and had a can of clear from Griot's Garage (intended for wheel refinishing) from many years back. Worked fine.

Finished product is absolutely passable although definitely not show car quality! But that is okay because my factory painted lowers show plenty of normal wear. I'll install the "new" one next week and the "old" one is already back in its box for a rainy day.

 

Finally installed the sucker. It took a little trial and error to get it on - highly recommend doing the wheel well corners first (including screws) and then "stretching" the lip forwards to get he clips to line up and engage.

 

Wow, looks awesome RX!

 

I installed one too, but man, the coating they put on it is really bad - mine is flaking off in a few spots. I bought 2, so I will probably take one in the back yard and refinish it and swap it after the paint is dry and then redo the other one.

But, they do fit pretty nicely and look good. My car is lowered and they are going to scrape everywhere - so far mine has held up well.

 

Thanks! BTW, this is the "new" lip I bought; the spare I bought from you is painted and ready to be used when this one gets thrashed

 

Glad it worked out, your car is tastefully done

 

Just bought one from this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/07-12-Porsch...-/271811947929

I'll post pictures as soon as receive

 

Yes, please post pics!

Also, I think that is a Turbo OEM replica, not the "GT2"/aero style, right?

 

Mine was the same. Hope the flaking isn't too bad, will probably install as is. Tried to paint the last one, but the paint didn't stick well (even with the adhesion stuff) and it didn't gloss up very well. Might try to paint it again. At $100, these are totally worth it compared to $200 I paid before.

 

Yeah, if this (paint and sandpaper) doesn't work, I'll probably just plastidip mine. It'll come off too but it is fairly flexible and easy to touch up.

 

LOL -- well that didn't last very long. After less than 75 miles of driving the lip cracked (plus paint flaking in the impact area). It happened this morning...I had a moderate scrape on a dip as I was exiting a shopping plaza at around 5 mph. The stocker would have handled it fine, but this one didn't.





Next wekeend I'll install my backup GT2 replica..for now I just epoxied it back together. I also have my OEM one still but it is pretty beat up. Oh well...
