Nice find, quality looks first rate and less than $250 shipped to the US.

Yes they look great, but that’s $205 USD + shipping for a set of 951 covers only, they won’t fit 944.

Here are some pics of a set of not perfect carbon fibre TPC buckets,
finally got something done, just before I go away for 2 weeks for work.
Anyway, this is the first “kick at the cat” and it should give you a good idea of what is coming in a near future.
This is the first and only set I have for now but I should have a good set of carbon fibre and a set of fibreglass to show you in about 2 1/2 weeks.
BTW it’s less then 1 lbs for the set of carbon fibre bucket.




On the scale

Default 924 GTS Headlight ****

Not to take away from all the work 924-76 is doing....


I picked these up today. These are (alledgedly) out of a 924 GTS a local guy used to own. In my conversation with him, he was telling me about 3 924 GTS' that were in the greater Denver area. Who knew!!!







The two things I find most interesting are:

1) The headlight is a 5 x 7. I thought it was supposed to be a 4 x 6
2) The factory didn't put too much time/effort into these. One of the few Porsche things that is WAY over-engineered for what it is. As you can see, these are really pretty simple.

I haven't tried anything yet.... From just holding them next to the headlights on the 951 it appears they should fit without issue and without too much work. We'll see......

Thank you very much for those pics, nice to see the real stuff
I will have a second bucket style that will be similar to this.
