They answered my questions, sometimes it takes them a while (up to a month).
I plan on ordering the 968 Turbo S spoiler, as well as 968CS mirros and handles from them for Xmas. But I would sure like to hear anything about them!

Are you getting the mirrors/door handles or Turbo S rear wing?

Monday 14th October I paid a visit to Van Zweeden. They have a lot of parts, and I do mean A LOT! I saw a leasst 50 944's for parts at there garage. There core business for parts is by mail.

Sometimes they are a bit slow replying to e-mails, but they do get a lot af questions daily. I assume there's only one employee who knows how to handle a computer.

I've been eyeballing a few things over there for quite a while -
How would shipping work on this?
I know it has to come air freight -
I live in DC - would it maybe be cheaper to have the stuff shipped to Dulles International (closer/cheaper than out to Cali by plane) and then UPS it the rest of the way? I'd be willing to do this...
I've been interested in the Side skirts and the 968 Turbo S wing myself.
Let me know how you want to approach this.

I need to know a total price on the Turbo S wing [including shipping] and whether it's carbon fiber/fiber glass.

i ordered four times till now everytime a wing and none of them fit till now. all of them were wings for the 968 Turbo. Maybe other wings will be bettr but I am not sure. I will not order a fith wing any more.
all stuff is simple fiberglass that can easily brake in a very small hit. even the chief there agree with this.

I have bought some stuff from them.No problems.Only difficulty with international orders is the payment.
They do not accept credit cards.I moved money into their account and they send my parts after that.This money transfer caused quite a lot extra costs.

I have to echo Konstantin. I have ordered and received (quite quickly) a 968 turbo RS adjustable wing. It is fiberglass, and the side mouldings have to be glued on. This is not too important for me as I have a race car.
The problem was the wing was badly skewed, making a fit impossible.
To their credit, they took it back and offered to send another free of postal charges, when they receive a new batch. I am still waiting for it.
