How Easy is it to Install?
The BetterBodies Motorsport Porsche 911 996.1 Lip + Small Ducktail + Side Rockers Kit is engineered for OEM-style fitment, ensuring every component aligns precisely with the 1999–2001 996.1 factory body lines. Each part comes with pre-marked mounting points for accurate positioning, and the front lip and side rockers include pre-installed 3M automotive-grade double-sided tape along with mounting hardware for a secure fit. The small ducktail spoiler is designed to mount directly to the factory rear deck lid with minimal modification required. All polyurethane parts require standard body shop prep (scuff, prime, paint) if you plan to color match to your Porsche. While skilled DIY installers can handle installation in a few hours, we recommend professional fitting for the best alignment and finish. If the kit is in stock, it will ship within 24–48 hours; if backordered, please allow 3–8 business days for dispatch.
Appearance
This three-piece aero kit delivers a refined yet assertive upgrade for the Porsche 996.1. The front lip lowers and sharpens the car’s nose, giving it a more aggressive front-end stance. The side rockers visually lengthen the profile, creating a sleeker and more planted look. The small ducktail spoiler finishes the package with a subtle nod to Porsche’s motorsport heritage, offering a cleaner, sportier rear profile without overpowering the car’s timeless design. The result is a cohesive, factory-plus appearance that turns heads without losing elegance.
What is Polyurethane?
Our proprietary GT3TEK polyurethane blend delivers exceptional durability and flexibility. Unlike fiberglass or ABS plastic, polyurethane flexes on impact and returns to its original shape, making it highly resistant to cracks, chips, and breakage. This flexibility not only ensures better long-term performance but also makes alignment easier during installation, helping you achieve an OEM-quality fit. Built to handle the realities of daily driving, it’s a material that combines resilience with style.
Performance Capabilities
Although primarily designed to enhance aesthetics, this kit offers functional aerodynamic benefits. The front lip helps reduce front-end lift by optimizing airflow beneath the car, the side rockers smooth air along the vehicle’s flanks, and the small ducktail spoiler manages airflow over the rear for subtle downforce and improved high-speed stability. Together, these elements provide a more balanced feel during spirited driving without introducing unnecessary drag.
Will it Crack or Break?
ABSOLUTELY NOT - Polyurethane is highly impact-resistant and far more forgiving than brittle materials. It can flex under contact with steep driveways, curbs, or road debris and return to its original shape. Most impacts will result in minor cosmetic marks rather than structural damage, and scrape guards can be added to the front lip for added protection.
