Anybody used the stuff these guys make?
I'm interested in their vented nose panel and adjustable 968 wing.

They know Porsches, they build, race, rally and break them. They have developed a number of parts that they have used and now sell on their website. I don't know about the quality of the body parts, but I have bought some spares from them in the past. There was an article about them in Excellence a while back, they got a good review.

The guy to speak to is Rob and it's better to call than order of the website. Expect to pay $300 shipping for that wing though, the $ is way down against the Euro again.

I've got their Fiberglass hood, which is good built, and fits ok.
don't know their wings though.

I had some issues with agreed price + delivery total cost, so it's better to get clear statement how much the total costs are.... just my 2 cents.

my main concern is build quality and accurate dimensioning with regards to fitment.

Doesn't look bad to me. I might look into this.

I have seen what I believe is the same product on a car, up close. It looks really good and is well constructed, Unfortunately the owner bought it like that and couldn't confirm who made the wing.

I've got one, I've had it for quite a few years now and am still very happy with it (I have one of their hoods too).

This pic was taken a few years back

same here, don't know about these parts, but I've done business with them a few times and they're stand-up and straight people to deal with. Quick shipping and no nonsense..
