Default Cheap front splitters

Found these on Ebay and got a set. He has several.

They are indeed for a 964 and are fiberglass.

Mine had a small chip to fill but decent shape. Will look fine painted black.

Fitment is 8/10 or better.

Wow, those are cheap.
As long as they fit OK, who's to know?
Be sure to post us pics when fitted....

Curious why are they being sold as 993 splitters? And why do they appear to be carbon fiber?

They just listed incorrectly.

I have a set and mated with the underpanels and fit is good.

9/10 with a little effort.

They do actually look carbon but it is the weave of the fiberglass. They are greyish in color and could probably pass as CF down that low.

No relation to seller. Just passing along.

Havent yet.

Thinking rivets and posibly some contact cement.

That was suggested by Anthony/Cobalt who has the real deal splitters.

I like them but $40 vs. $500 for something that low and is bound to get scraped...

Probably will be awhile before I mess with it since I have a wedding coming up.

I have the CF version (MA Shaw) and it does require some creative installation to make it look right. Like cement, 3M black sealant, wood screws, toggle bolts and a heat gun. After I finished it looks very good. By NO MEANS are they bolt on pieces. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I like creativity and projects so this should be right up my alley!

Hold off on purchasing as I got a great deal to purchase all the sets he has. I will passing the savings on to you guys. 3 sets at $30 each + ship is my anticipated offering.

Mine are now fitted.
They were from Rennspeed (sponsor?) and only cost $95. They look like the ones Ag has posted ie. plastic with 'weave'. The outside is quite smooth and so we didn't paint them. They simply bolted on to existing small lip. According to the website they are the same design as the 3.8RSR but I suspect they may be 3.3 S (anyway they are the 2 pieces not the single). I am very pleased and will post pics soon after I wash the car!

Those look nice. And the suspension upgrade looks great also.
