I would be more than interested in a proper fitting 968 spoiler to a 944 hatch at that price. Give us more details on it I.E. what hardware and trim pieces will it come with?

I would spend in that range if it was an easy bolt on.

I have to say that I am immune to the aesthetic charms of the LeMans spoiler but I'd love an easy bolt on 968 wing.

If there was a domestic Fiberglass option for a 968 spoiler would you buy it? Would you spend in the $2-300 range?
Why is the UK option a pain in the butt? I did it, not to bad IMO.

Yes.

The current wing still collects too much water, no matter how many times I clean the drains and I like the clean look of the 968 spoiler, especially combined with the door handles, mirrors and some newer wheels.

I thought with having it shipped from overseas along with all the fitting issues that it just was a pain. The shop I was thinking of making these just told me they don't make fiberglass parts. They seem to make parts, but I don't know if they are plastic/abs or injection molding of some kind. I will update when I find out. I made this thread to see if there would be any interest.

In the pics on page 1, those small 1-piece bumpers are really nice. Where can I get one?

Thanks, I've never seen that website.

But yeah, I didn't realize they're euro (or euro-style) bumpers - the missing rubber strip threw me off!
