Default US source for this front splitter?

Does anyone know of a US source for a front splitter like this?

http://www.albertweb.de/Porsche/Karo...erlippe964.jpg

I'd rather not go through the import hassle if I can avoid it.

Thanks

Hi Ian, what's up with the fit? Does it not look like it is going to work? Would love to hear how yours works out.

Regards

it looks ok , just a bit concerned about how it overlaps the bumper at the front middle
will have to trial fit once its painted , my cars black , so it might not look too bad

Ian,

Any idea how to find or contact the US distributor. I'm also interested inhow it fits, but have wanted one of these for a while.

FVD and Cargraphic carry something like that. A bit more subtle, Techart or Porsche Tequipment, carry splitters that replace the front black plastic panels.

Bill:

I have been trying to locate those splitters, but no one seems to have a part number...do you happen to have one?

Another great look is the Turbo S splitter. Subtle but to the point.

You need to purchase the 965 Turbo S front undertrays, remove the splitter (drill out pop rivets and loosen glue seam and glue/pop rivet the splitter lip onto your existing under trays. This is a great look.

Regards all!

I've been looking for them also and have found that RennSpeed has one that look similar. They call them 964 3.8 RS Two Piece Splitters. Here's the link http://www.rennspd.com/P_Detail.asp?PID=431. I'll be picking up some clear lens from them ($80/pair, what a deal!) and will also be checking out the quality and fit of those splitters. I can report back if someone is interested.

I like the look of this. Is it one piece? Do you know if it only fits widebodies?

Thanks for posting

I believe they are only for the widebody. But you can easily remove and remount them to your existing valance as Marc1xx1 explains. The set I have has the same part number molded into the plastic valance but the splitter set had additional venting slots cut into the plastic just below the oil and a/c coolers to allow for additonal air flow. It might be costly to buy the complete set only to remove the splitters and remount them. I don't know why someone hasn't reproduced the splitters identical to the factory add on since they are so easily mounted to the valance. I will see if I can get more info and part numbers.

this looks like the one albert has copied .
they also sell ones for wide-bodied cars .

i was thinking , as soon as i do some parking damage to the fibre-glass , i'll change to a techart one , but the advice on the genuine one sounds better .

the albert one bolts/bonds to underneath the bumper all the way round , apart from the front , where it lips over the bumper .
this is my area of concern , but maybe i can fill will black sikaflex sealer , as my car is black .

it could be blended in to the bumper , but with it being a glassfibre part so close to the floor/curs/speedbumps etc. maybe this would make the spoiler too permanent !!

will dig out the address for albert motorsports website , as i said , pretty sure it mentions a usa disributor somewhere

Here's the information on Cargraphic USA:

Cutting Edge Automotive Tech
653 Sayre Ave Perth Amboy NJ 08861
Tel.: 7328261002 • Fax: 7328264706
Email: cargraphicUSA@aol.com
Web: www.cargraphic.com

It won't be cheap but very cool.


I'm sure By Design in LA could also take care of your order. They feature both Cargraphic and Techart products.

Peter - I'd be interested. I'm still not sure what happens in the middle between the two splitter halfs? Thanks
