This plastic firewall shroud piece from a 968:



I have the 968 PET from 944online.com, but I don't even know what it's called to locate the part! I haven't spotted it going through the pages. Can anyone here help?

Yep- I've seen them installed. Very clean look.

If it didn't fit, I am sure Marcquito could make the necessary adjustments.

Rear engine cover -- there's someone selling one over on the 968 board: https://rennlist.com/forums/968-foru...968-parts.html

In PET, it's 944.504.533.00 (Illustration 801-30 for 968)

It will fit, but it doesn't look right because the 968 engine bay is narrower and there ends up being a gap at the sides.

Thanks guys- I appreciate it. Now I could have sworn that piece looked better installed. The sides don't match up at all and it ends up looking unfinished. Maybe I could make a piece out of fiberglass which is the same shape but is basically just longer on each side to conform to the 944.

I heard Marquito was bored and made a fan shroud for a 997 fit over his engine compartment. He's like Chuck Norris for 944 updates.
