Default where to find clear lenses?

About 1 year ago, I bought some clear lenses for about $80 bucks from a place called Rennsport. I've done a search but cannot find the site anymore....does anyone know of the spot or know how I can contact them.

I ordered a clear lens kit from Apex Performance for $125 last week. I'm a bit miffed with them at the moment though, as I paid extra for 3-day UPS delivery (order placed on Monday) and I haven't seen the goods or heard from them since the confirmation that my order had been processed, despite a phone message and e-mail requesting an update. They are on the Rennlist sponsor list, so I hope they come through with the goods. For their product page, go to
http://www.apex-parts.com/964%20Parts/964%20body.htm
I'll post again to this thread when I get the kit or further news

Apex are great, I bought my lenses from there - just lenses no kit - $80 last year. Very nice chaps!

The clear bumperette replacements are available from MSRoad & Race for I think around $50.

Hambisa- I had the exact same experience with Apex when I orderded my clears. Matt Romanowski (you'll see his posts here occasionally) finally got back to me after I PMed him and said their computer system was down and that they had lost some orders because of it. Anywayy I eventually got them but it took over a month.

I installed them in my 94 RSAmerica.
Bought them from Schatzmotorsport in CA, excellent service.

Chris - I hope this won't be month-long exercise. I called again twice today and just got voice mail -- can't reach a live body at Apex now. Seeing Hawk's link to Rennspeed at $35 less, Targatime would be well advised to try them first -- I wish I had done so!

Actually with all the recent prices increases during the past year who knows what they cost from a Porsche dealership. (I don't mean to come across like the price **** but I hate aftermarket suppliers that push "euro" parts on eBay for double and triple the retail price on owners unaware they can buy directly)

Again, this is EXACTLY what I went through. I didn't know if my order had even been placed. No email confirmation, no contact for weeks after multiple calls, emails, PMs, etc...drove me crazy.
