Personally, I prefer the look of the Turbo lip, so that's what I run on my C4S, it makes the car look lower and more aggressive.

Suggestion
Okay just my 2 cents!...there are splitters from porsche for the turbo and 4 and 4s models,hence that style of bumper.Then there are splitters for the aero kit 2 and gt3 style bumpers, one of those is called the cup splitter and is distingushed by the way it wraps around to the wheel well opening.the regular gt3/aerokit spoiler does not.The motorsports cup splitter happens to cost less,dont ask me why?its less material,anyway they are made from a flexible material some sort of polyplastic and are designed to flex and give,and believe me there gonna get a little banged up,even the clips and the adhesive strips will give way if they are stressed enough,better the splitter than the bumper cover

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

What the heck are the differences and why the huge price delta?

Suncoast might be good for certain OEM parts, but not the front lips. You can find lips on ebay and other online retailers in the $100 range pretty easily. My car is so low I consider the lip on my bumper a wear item.
Personally, I prefer the look of the Turbo lip, so that's what I run on my C4S, it makes the car look lower and more aggressive.
I just used Suncoast becasue easy link with pictures. I agree there are better deals to be had.
Yes, my original plan was to go with the Turbo lip as well just wanted to get some opinions and thoughts from you guys.
IMO, the stock ones look fine. I think they were meant to be semi-disposable and help protect the bumper. If you drive your car they are going to get scraped no matter what.
I just want the Turbo as it's more aggressive and since I lowered the car should look better. Your right though they are always going to get scratched, dinged, can't imagine why people paint them body color :/
