thats a separate piece, that was on all turbo and S2 cars. thats the rear valence, helps with aerodynamics a bit in addition to hiding the muffler and spare tire

Karl,

A body shop should charge about $75-$100 to install. This should include any minor prep work. Painting varies on color choice, but our guy preps, re-primes and sprays color choice for $125.

Let me know if you have any other questions, I'll try to answer the best i can.

My concern with having it pre-painted is what happens if it requires modification and some paint has to be sanded off. Do you happen to have pictures of both the 968 wing and the 2-piece hoop wing? I'm having trouble seeing the difference, thanks.

Good point.

When the paint service option is selected, we dry fit everything on a roller for form and then make the necssary adjustments if needed (shave, feather or add) then paint to match. If a fitment adjustment was required in the field, it would not be much and most shops would touch up for around $25-$35....usually as cash "in hand", if you catch my drift.

It is my opinion that the VERY best way is to fit it in the field to the ACTUAL car it will be installed on, then make any adjustments and paint. This ensures a good solid fit for that particular car. I just try and offer a cost effective alternative to those who do not wish to deal with a paint shop and want a "ready bolt-on" unit out of the box.

Hope this helps
