OEM front lips in Carbon Fiber?

TS,

A friend and I have been looking all over for a nice oem style front lip for his 997 turbo made out of carbon fiber (prefer dry carbon over gloss).

Anyone know of a place (or a forum sponsor) who has this? I cant seem to track one down other than "Aftermarket" looking ones and he isnt interested in that since his car is lowered already

Many thanks!

I bought one for my 997.1 from ROT-tec out of Canada a few years ago.

Don't know what they are offering now though.

It's not a direct OEM piece, but sure does look like one. Ray's a really good guy. This is his website, give him a shout. ROTtec Carbon Inc.

Thanks!....that is a pretty good lookin lip actually. Not 100% oem but darn close. I think he will like this --- just will want dry carbon (they dont have pics of that on the site) so well see.

Thanks man!

I personally love all the Werks carbon for the 997 Turbos. Grab a front lip and diffuser to pull it off!
