Default fender liners source?

It's my understanding that the turbo fender liners are no longer available from Porsche. One of mine is cracked and missing a mounting tab, and the other one is a little rough. I'd really like to find some new or at least very clean used ones.

It looks like the N/A ones can be used with a little modification, but it doesn't seem that they have enough material to fit around the brake ducts without extra gaps.

Any suggestions please on whether I have any other options vs. just trying to find a good used set?

thank you

Most of the guys parting these cars just throw those away. I do at least. Have a driver's side right now but no passenger. They are so big to ship. You might try putting a want to buy up on Pelican - probably would turn up plenty.....

Florida. I'd absolutely pay shipping for a set in great condition though.

If you don't mind paying for shipping from the west coast, try Parts Heaven. They have a website.

V2 while you are entitled to your opinion, please do not miss quote me. I do not appreciate what you have done. I have had nothing but good experience with Parts Heaven. Please remove your misguided post.

He is entitled to his opinion, I might not have larger inventory than those guys but I outclass those guys any given day in any product that they have..

I've had nothing but good experiences with Parts Heaven and Lart, though if I were in Florida and needed such big cheap parts, I might start by calling Ian at 944online and/or George at 944 Ecology.... since they are so much closer.

Lart, you sorely missed the point. V2 quoted my post and took it upon himself to rewrite it making it appear that I was bashing a vendor. That is unjust plagerism. If a moderator is reading this, I ask them to strike V2's egregious post.

Thank you guys. I had already emailed partsheaven yesterday and just sent Lart a PM - thank you for the very generous offer Lart.

Now I'm dreading what else I'm going to find is NLA during this restoration..

Hi, my right side wheel liner is demaged and it is NLA, however, I see that 968 fender liners are still available. Does anyone know whether thay are direct fit for 951?
