Default Looking for a fiberglass spoiler for an N/A?

Over on an automotive paint and body forum that I've been visiting lately, a gentleman has posted pics of a custom fiberglass front spoiler for a N/A. I'm wanting to keep my front end stock, so it's not for me, but if you're looking for something like this, check it out. It looks quite nice to me. Just passing it along, I don't know any more that what is in the link.

That's what it looks like to me...............

It's "OK", I personally like the stock N/A front better than that though. Different strokes for different folks.

First one doesn't have the spoiler listed on their webpage. Second is in Britain.

I've seen them before... I liked the first one when I first saw it, then I realised it was pretty ricey. The second one is like a taller 968 wing, is that the one leadfoot944 has?

Don't know. I agree that the second one looks much better. I have never been able to find it in America. I would hate to pay the shipping from there to here for it.

That is a copy of the 968 TRS adjustable wing deigned to fit a 944 hatch. I like them very much, but they are just dreadfully expensive.

Essential Styling's price is £360+vat. That equals $628 USD plus shipping. Someone will need to tell me if we would have to pay VAT if we are out of the UK, I think we don't, but we would need clarification for certain.
