Those don't seem to have a hole for the screw but some sort of threaded bar at the back.
I take it you fit them with a nut at the back some how. Easy to do?

No idea I'm afraid, the set Ive got (not fitted yet) dont have the bar at the back or a tab at the side, so I will be bonding them on before I fit them

I think someone saoid earlier you can do it without a screw from the front but you need the bumper off to bolt them up

You can buy the cheap ones and just bond them in place, however the ones on your initial photos have a hidden fixing. They are supplied by AP car design.de amongst others

Forgot to mention the fit of the eBay cheaper ones that screw in place isn't as good as the more expensive ones with hidden fixings from my own experience

I agree - I bought some cheap ones of eBay, they're sitting gathering dust. There are gaps all around the edges - they just don't fit well. The FVD and AP Card design ones are the best fit - besides screws showing aren't my thing.

Are you thinking of ducting them in with all the tubing?

Read my post above guys...the FVD type fits easily enough and can be made to look great w/o removing the bumper...

The FVD link is to the Techart items. The factory items had the exposed screw head.

Hey Guys, this thread is really helfpul for my conversion. I never liked the screw in the ducts. The FVD RS Brake Ducts without the front screw are on clearance.

Frank,

Those will look killer on my black 964 w/white lenses. Any thoughts as to USA providers?

Frank,

Big $$!! so I have noticed. I am really looking for only the lights/scoops that fit into the bumper, as i have no need for any of the brake-venting hoses.

I like the look you have, just don't need the other bits.
