anyone know where i can get one cheap? I think i want the AIR one since it is more aggressive looking. Also i was looking for some 968 side skirts or some other kind. Also do u have to change the whole rear hatch for a 968 spoiler? if not where can i get one for how much? I am going to be painting the car in a couple of weeks and wanted to try ordering my body parts before hand. also How do u think a hood scoop would look on the car like a 924GTS? If you have any ideas please post some pics because i want to do something to the body other then stock when i paint it.

Daniel, here is a pic of my 83' Callaway 944. Personally, I love the Carrera GTS hood scoop, and I think it adds to the overall image of the car. I would say go for it on yours. As far as the splitter I do not have much to offer other than I am in the market for one as well. Problem is the car is a 83' with 951 nose and front fenders so mounting one for a 951 is not going to work due to I have no 'batwing' hole provisions. I really like the race splitter from AIR, do you know how it mounts?
Here is a link to DP Motorsports IMHO have great looking side skirts and front splitters: http://www.dp-motorsport.de/english/index.htm

Daniel,

I've seen 2 951s with the hood scoop like the 924GTS. One was exceptionally well-done and looked good. The other wasn't installed with as much attention to detail (uneven gaps w/ the hood and such) and looked pretty crappy. It's not something you can simply cut a hole, tack on, and make it look good.

Mike Buck added black side skirts to his car so maybe he can send you a pic. I'll reserve judgement on how they look.

i figured i would get alot more response since this is something i am sure people think about but thanks for the responses i have got so far. I am pretty sure i want to go with the splitter in the front and some sort of side skirt but wanted to view my options.

Here is my opinion on my AIR splitter.

Likes:
1. Looks damn good.
2. Looks like a factory-designed piece.
3. Looks damn good.

Dislikes:
1. Cracks if you just look at it funny.
2. Car is lowered, has almost zero clearance with it on, I can't get into driveways with lips and can't go over speed bumps/yumps.
3. Causes me to be overly timid and I have to think about where I am going because the splitter may rub. It's not unlike being handicapped and worrying about handicap access into buildings.
4. Picks up roadkill like the cowcatcher on the front of a steam engined locomotive.

Unless your car has a stiff springrate like mine (400lbs or more), it will hit and rub everything. Mine is fine on the street, it doesn't bob enough to strike the usual stuff, but like I said above, driveways and entrances that have lips are no-no's, as are speedbumps.

Mine is off right now. I have the batwing on instead.

Ive got a set of 968 rockers for sale...email me or pm me if interested. I can send you some pics.

they are in great condition btw..

I would just paint your car now....then buy the 968 spoiler and have it matched, as well as the splitter. Why are you painting your car....it's not even running??!!

daniel951

if you could send pics i would appreicate it. U got a PM

daniel951

The reason why i am painting is because it needs it plus i am pulling the motor out to work on it so it gives me a chance to change the color if i want to. I will try giving you a call will.

will951

sorry daniel.....phone was smashed into a million pieces this weekend while completely wasted. Getting a new one this weekend.....til then I won't get your call.

I agree 100%

Herewith picture of Beaky before some silly old devil ushered me up an access ramp at a car display over a post retainer. The splitter was wrecked as were all the fixing points and the vertical members holding the front bottom lip. I was not best pleased. I have a replacement front PU sitting in my living room now awaiting spraying and fitting.



Once the new nose is on I will fit another splitter, but the shallower ESS carbon one this time. It may all be phsychological (? spolling), but the car does feel more planted with a splitter.

John,
Is that Defender a diesel?? I love those trucks!
