I found a complete kit (inc. duct pipes for brakes) here in S.CA (PCA member)over a year ago paid $650 + $50 for finishing & paint. I know FVD usa still stocks em for around $750(i think). $1200 sounds really steep. FYI:The techarts are adjustible.

FVD is asking $1050 right now and I was told the price would be increasing. I know of one other place asking $1040 and a place in the UK asking $918 or so US. I tried to get info from Cargraphic but they have been busy with the move and I am still waiting on other parts ordered last Sept.

Maybe we can see about a group buy, anyone?

FVD sure did up the price drastically over the past year. I paid $695 for the TechArt version from them a year or so ago. (late 2003 I think).

$695 is a price I would pay for a complete kit but $1050 is way to much. They blame it on the increase in the Euro but I am not so sure if that is the only reason.

I was searching for these today........FVD is at $1,050 USD......LOL....not a hope in hell of getting a sale from me......and from anyone else I see.......

Techart has discontinued them.......Porsche does not have them available thru my dealer channels......Cargraphic has ducts only (without lights)......I've got a call into MASHaw....and Ruf has nothing.....

Where do you get these today.....in mid-2006 ?

All the posts my searchs turned up were mainly 2-3 years old.......

Keith - GermanTech is the only other official Techart dealer in north America besides CEC. I've had nothing but good experiences with them having purchased quite a bit of stuff over the years (including unique leather and carpet colors that only TechArt seems to be able to reproduce - like Matador Red). In fact Porsche now has TechArt make all of their optional color leather covered replacement parts for 964 series cars because Porsche doesn't have the leather colors. I know that TechArt still offers the 964 parts catalogue so I would think these should still be available - but Joe will know for sure. BTW, as I remember the foglights can be purchased with or without the brake duct kit.
