OK, found it...

<a href="http://www.albert1st.com/944-968_bausatz.htm" target="_blank">http://www.albert1st.com/944-968_bausatz.htm</a>

But I do not speak or read Deutch...

I love the looks of the 944 with the rear end of the 968. Sweet!

This brings up a question I've been wanting to ask...
Has anyone put 968 rear lights on a 944? If so, what did you have to do to get them to fit?

Later,

Hey PorscheG96,

[quote] Screw fibrewerks <hr></blockquote>

Your comment is out of line!

Benefits of the Fiberwerks nose:
-Available in the US
-Shipping won't DOUBLE the part price due to international rates
-Actually HELPs cooling and high-speed steering
-ALL existing lighting fits w/NO extra lights to buy
-Excellent references from racers as well as ordinary applications

Granted that nose is decent, but the cost of the international shipping, extra lights, need of a TRANSLATOR, and lack of feedback makes that nose a toss-up. And who wants to gamble w/a part that, if it does not meet expectations, would cost more in total shipping than the ENTIRE cost of the Fiberwerks nose.

I did extensive research before deciding on the Fiberwerks nose. I looked at products in Sweden, Germany, England and across the US. By far the best product when regarding fitment/finish/performance/design/cost was from Fiberwerks.

You are allowed to have your own opinion, but be prepared to back it up when making a blanket statement such as "screw Fiberwerks".

Oh yeah...drum roll please...your statement makes NO sense since the lights pictured are from a 968 and the Fiberwerks nose is from a 944! <img src="graemlins/c.gif" border="0" alt="[ouch]" />

Let me send you a dollar so that you can buy a clue!!! <img src="graemlins/soapbox.gif" border="0" alt="[soapbox]" />

I have NO affiliation w/Fiberwerks other than having done enough homework to finally purchase a nose from them.

All-in-all, I still like ya'... <img src="graemlins/xyxwave.gif" border="0" alt="[bigbye]" />

Hey My944... I don't see any reason to get all teary-eyed over G96's comments related to Fibrewerks.

Don't get so personal, this is an online BB. There are over 7k members here so it's unlikely that I'd know about your little story. Sure, send me a dollar so I can buy a clue...e-mail me at PorscheG96@yahoo.com so I can give you my address offline. Should I call you 'master' too or are you only interested in the tax write-off?

Forgot to address this one, 'tardo. I have an extra set of 968 turn signal housings from doing the clear corner conversion ON MY 968 if that's what you mean...hell, I don't even understand what you're talking about.
