Default Vented nose panels

This discussion has come up a bunch before but I ran into this:

http://www.autoatlanta.net/action.la...rds=10&-search

which looks tame-yet-usefull vs. some of the more agressive 924 (GTR? Which one has the row of 4 vents?) or 944 panels for stage-10 IC I've seen.

www.americaninternationalracing.com and www.gt-racing.com make them as well.

The one you posted is made by AIR.

Thanks for the links. (My nose panel has a small dent and a bunch of chip marks which have been "fixed" with a paint pen

Besides Paragon, what are other good online sources for 944 parts in general?

I have the AIR one. It's ok I'd rather have stock one cut though. I wish I wouldn't have sold my original one!

I used to have that on my car:



IIRC MichelleJD has it on her car now, maybe she can post some better pics. I liked it, the fitment wasnt as bad as I had heard, but you do need to created a custom duct to get maximum efficency out of the intercooler with this.

i had my buddies machine shop cut mine for me and my other buddies auto body shop primer it and paint it. If anyone is interested i talk to him and see if he is willing to do a couple of nose panels for people and take them to my other buddy to have them primered and ready for paint? I will post some pics of mine later on tonight
Also i am having them machine about 4-5 sets of camber plates which should be done soon but i will start a thread when they are finished

I just found a panel on ebay it's the stock that was cut, the seller seems to have a good feedback.

Luis Artiga (lart951),

Please correct me if I am wrong....is this not your own Ebay listing? I've seen some of your previous Ebay listings such as the front bumper. Your Rennlist name (lart951) also looks similar to the Ebay name (lartiga). Both are California locations. I am confused as to why you did not reveal in the above post that you are the seller?

Very nice actually. I think it looks a lot nicer than that "single slot" one that some people have.

Hey MPD47, where did you get your nose panel that you have on your car right now from?

here is a couple of pics with it off of my car

when we actually cut it the paint actually didn't chip off but the panel needed a repaint anyways so i sent it to my buddies shop to get primered and painted.

Okay I am guilty, yes it is me. I have a single slot panel for sale.
