Front Splitter?

Does anyone know where I can get this front splitter for the factory bumper? Is this a factory option or aftermarket?

Check out the 996 GT3 Cup lip if you're looking for something OEM

But the lip in your picture is most likely EZ lip or something generic

It’s a shame that’s in the wrecking yard, looks great.

Will that 996 GT3 Cup lip fit the Boxster S bumper? It looks great!

I think you're right about that lip in the pics being EZ lip. Upon looking closer it looks very unfinished at the edge and ends in a weird spot.

Scroll through that thread I linked and you'll see a picture of it mounted to a 986. Apparently not a perfect fit, but manageable if you're willing to play with it a bit.

Thanks. I emailed them too asking if fitment on a 986 is possible so will see what they say. Judging from the pic of the blue Boxster it almost looks like it was made for it.

Here's what I got from FVD

"It will but you may need to trim it a bit. Many have retrofitted the 996 Cup spoiler on 986 Boxsters over the years."

Google the part number from the FVD website. Auto atlanta and sunset porsche are both US based sites that sell it. Forum won't allow me to link those sites.
