Plastic front lip
I've searched the forum and other mod sites to find one to purchase, but have had no luck. I was wondering if anyone knows of a company that makes front lips that are plastic instead of carbon fiber? When I had my 997tt I used to be able to get replacements for a couple hundred bucks and always keep a new spare in the garage for when it got worn. Granted the M3 has a higher clearance than the turbo, but I must admit I prefer the look of the flat black plastic over the carbon fiber.
any thought let me know... |

just google Revinora and check their website

I bought a poly Vorsteiner replica from Ebay. The problem was that there wasn't a good way to attach it. Especially near the top where it meets the bumper. A CF or FRP lip would be fine because it's rigid but the poly was a no go.

My thoughts exactly. I posted about this 2 years ago. I've always thought it silly that Porsche makes a simple abs plastic replacement on their $100+K Turbo. But all the aftermarket manufacturers just wanna slap fragile $1,000+ carbon fiber chins on our cars. Looks great....but man, one crack. It doesn't even "scrape gracefully"

thx guys for all the suggestions. I'm gonna start to search these tonight. I think if I can find the right one it will finish my theme a bit better. all trim on the top is gloss black or clear coat carbon fiber. anything on the bottom (rims, exhaust) is all matte black. will keep you posted on what I find
