Full product description
Product Details
A GT3-inspired front lip for the 997.1 Carrera. It sharpens the nose, closes up the gap under the factory bumper, and reduces front-end lift at speed — the look of a factory race car without touching the bumper itself.
Molded in flexible polyurethane, not fiberglass. It flexes over driveways, curbs and debris and returns to shape instead of cracking, which is why it survives a daily-driven car.

Fitment Guide
This lip is cut for the standard 997.1 front bumper. That is the only bumper it mounts to — the factory aero and race bumpers have a different lower edge.

Install & Paint
Mounting
The lip arrives with 3M automotive tape already applied. The tape holds on its own — drilling is optional. Hardware is included if you or your installer prefer mechanical fasteners as well.
Test fit the lip on the car before any paint work, clean the bumper edge so the tape bonds to a dry, wax-free surface, and press the lip firmly along its full length.
Paint
The part ships in raw black and unpainted — scuff, prime and paint it in your factory or custom color. Any body shop can match it to your car; polyurethane takes paint the same way a flexible bumper cover does.
Who should install it
DIY-capable with basic tools and patience. A shop will get the tightest, most even gap, and most owners have it done while the part is being painted.
FAQ
Does it come painted?
No. It arrives in raw black, ready for scuff, prime and paint in your color.
Do I have to drill my bumper?
No. The 3M tape is pre-applied and holds on its own. Hardware is in the box if your installer wants to add fasteners.
How do I know I have the base bumper?
Send us a straight-on photo of your front bumper and we’ll confirm it before you order — call 619-690-5081 or email contact@betterbodiesmotorsport.com.
Will it crack on driveways?
Polyurethane flexes and returns to shape instead of shattering, which is why we mold these in urethane rather than fiberglass. It is still a low part — take driveways at an angle.
Will this fit my 997.2?
No — the 2009–2012 facelift bumper is a different shape. We build a separate lip for it.
When does it ship?
In-stock orders leave our California shop in 24–48 hours. Backordered parts run 3–8 business days before shipping.
-
01
Test-fit first
Offer the part up to the car before any prep or paint. Returns are accepted unpainted only, so confirm the fit first.
-
02
Prep the surface
Scuff with a fine grit, clean with a plastic-safe degreaser and lay down an adhesion promoter suited to the material.
-
03
Paint to match
On polyurethane, have your painter add flex additive to primer and color so the finish moves with the part.
-
04
Mount & check gaps
Fit to the bumper, check the panel gaps side to side, then secure. A body shop gets you a factory-match finish.

Why polyurethane
Built to flex, not to crack.
Low aero lives inches off the road. We mold ours in Newport Beach from flexible polyurethane, so it shrugs off the driveways and speed bumps that split fiberglass.
