Face it. The 944 NA mod market is weak because as soon as you start really looking at it, you realize that if you want to put that much money in something, it better move, so you go to the turbo or even a v8 conversion. If you are big on upgrades, you will probably eventually go to a turbo front end, or some other more streamlined version available through the aftermarket. Sure, there are a few people who, for whatever reason, like the NA front end better or think it is more period correct, and also want the stock power plant (term used loosely), but their numbers are few. To put it another way- its not that there isn't a market, but the ones who are serious about modifying performance and aesthetics go for the one big mod all at once and get the turbo. The economics of that reality just can't be ignored by potential mfgs.

I DO want a chin spoiler/splitter on my N/A, and do not want it to have the turbo look, I WAS one of CPRs committed individuals and even offered him my car to model off of as he is about 1.5 hours from me, and it really is a decent drive out in the trees...
Interesting things may happen in the future, but my crystal ball broke down and I am waiting for parts from the neither regions for repairs to begin..

No arguments on the limits of the market...but as I said, if you think you guys with '44s have it bad, try getting nice stuff for a '24!
Anyway, this is where mine is going. And it ain't a '44 or a '51

I bid on the ebay one, they cancelled the bid, and did a side deal money request. No thanks. If anyone else wants to take the risk, let me know how it works out for you.
Put me down for one, but I won't wait for 3 + months.
