996.1 Lip + Small DuckTail

How Easy is it to Install?
The BetterBodies Motorsport Porsche 911 996.1 Lip + Small Ducktail Kit is designed for OEM-style fitment, ensuring both components match the precise factory body lines of the 1999–2001 996.1 generation. Each part features pre-marked mounting points for accurate alignment, with the front lip including pre-installed 3M automotive-grade double-sided tape and the necessary mounting hardware for a secure install. The small ducktail spoiler mounts directly to the factory rear deck lid with minimal modification. Both polyurethane components will require standard body shop prep (scuff, prime, paint) if you plan to color match to your Porsche. While confident DIY installers can handle the job in a few hours, we recommend professional installation to ensure perfect fitment and finish. If the kit is in stock, it ships within 24–48 hours; if backordered, please allow 3–8 business days for dispatch.
Appearance
This two-piece kit delivers a clean yet aggressive upgrade to the Porsche 996.1. The front lip lowers and sharpens the car’s stance for a sportier, more performance-oriented look, while the small ducktail spoiler adds a subtle motorsport-inspired touch to the rear without overpowering the car’s natural design. The result is a balanced, cohesive aesthetic that enhances the car’s personality while maintaining its timeless Porsche elegance.
What is Polyurethane?
Made from our proprietary GT3TEK polyurethane blend, these components combine strength and flexibility for unmatched durability. Unlike fiberglass or ABS plastic, polyurethane flexes under pressure and returns to its original shape, making it highly resistant to cracking, chipping, or breaking. This flexibility also allows for easier alignment during installation, ensuring an OEM-quality fit while holding up to real-world driving conditions.
Performance Capabilities
While primarily a visual upgrade, the front lip can reduce front-end lift by improving airflow beneath the car, and the small ducktail spoiler helps manage airflow over the rear deck lid for a touch of added stability. These subtle aerodynamic benefits create a slightly more planted and confident feel at higher speeds without introducing the drag of larger aero components.
Will it Crack or Break?
ABSOLUTELY NOT - Polyurethane is designed for maximum impact resistance. It can flex when encountering road debris, curbs, or steep driveways, then return to its original form. Most impacts result only in minor cosmetic marks that can be refinished if desired. Adding scrape guards to the lip can help protect against frequent contact with the ground.
