Default REAR WINGS UPDATED...PLEASE READ!!

To All,
I did not expect such a large response so instead of sending 20+++PM's,thought I'd do it all at once.

The distributor is trying to round up ALL the kits that are already made so we can get them at the same time/shipment (no additional shipping costs) instead of multiple shipments (as the kits are made) with multiple shipping cost (which is what we were trying to avoid). This may take a few days, so I apologize if anyone needed it yesterday.
Also he has a different kit that does not include the lower centering portion of the 4 hoop design (Greg has also referred to it as the stiffener or center brace piece). He said it was a pretty good kit but not as stout as the 4 piece (IN HIS OPINION). I attached some pics so make your own call. It is about $140.00 USD. That may be the way for some to get just the "side pieces" a few asked about. Or just a cheaper alternative

the 4 piece hoop is the top one...the "bridge" spoiler the bottom one.

*also..I have no affilaition with this company and am not making any profit, kickbacks, free kits or whatever. Just trying to help the Renns Comm.

I sent them an email yesterday and here is the response.



''We cannot ship these to the USA due to their size and weight. The shipping costs and import taxes to USA are too prohibitive. Regards, ElleShop Blue''



How come they are doing it for you?
Either way , count me in for the 4 piece spoiler. Just give me a total and were to send the money when you get all the details worked out. Thanks for doing it.

They are being shipped to my uncle whom resides in Liverpool, England. He is then forwarding them to me in the States. OR you can order direct from Delta...I just used the picture from shopblue.com for carity.

Ryan,
The 140.00 is for the "bridge type", the 4 piece "hoop" style is $240.00 (both in USD)...sorry if there was any confusion.

working on getting ALL the kits together first and seeing if anyone wanted the other version. I'll be placing the order in a day or so. If you are going to Colombia (as in the country) I doubt you'll have any cash left Check thread when you get back. I'm trying to get some extra kits anyway.

I want the 4 piece full version, please. I'm sure DrZ will post up soon with the version he needs.

How are you planning on working the cash part of this deal? PM me if you like.


By the way, thanks again for the legwork.

Just an FYI - the side pieces in these kits will NOT work with a real 968 wing. In this kit the wing sits on the side trim; on the 968 wing the trim fits around the wing which bolts to the glass.

Yes. If you notice the red car is missing the lower piece. A little bit different design, but I think it still looks great. Just let me know.

i used this 4 piece kit with the AIR TRS wing. you can use the original 968 wing to but you need to modify the side pieces. or just use the kit as is. pretty good quality considering its fiberglass.

Looks good...maybe I can see it in person this winter (your summer). I do some business with Sydney Machinery LTD, and plan on being there in January.
