Actually now that I think of it there is another issue .... On a standard car there will be screws sticking out to mount the bumperettes (my car never had bumperettes form the factory). These ducts replace all that so to mount them you would have to cut the mounting bolts off for the bumperettes. Of course the problem with that would be that in order to ever go back to fog lights wiht bumperettes you would have to remove your bumper and replace the mounting pieces with new ones. So depends what your plans are for the car.

Fair enough, I think I will try to get this done. They do fit in the opening, quite well actually, it just feels like they are off a tad but I can make them fit. I already have a SLOT in the bumper since I used to have DUCTS before, and I already have the screw hole, I just want some lights with my ducts.
Thanks for your massive amount of help Flach.

Well I guess my last post does not apply to you then ... but for anyone else they should be aware of this before they purchase front ducts.

These are not the ducts with foglights (which are also listed on the same page).

Hmmm I see that ... if you search for Aerodynamics - 964 - Turbo S - 1993 you will see the part listed as:

These are the ones I had on before I bought some ducts with integrated fogs.
I will try to install these. I think I would have been screwed had you not helped, DANK!

Also that looks like a factory bumper. And to mount those ducts someone had to have cut the bolts for the bumperette mounts.

Those look like factory ducts. The two holes on the inside of the duct port are for mounting a metal debris blocking screen (fyi - there never was a Porsche part number for these screens - they can be self fabricated out of black semi-rigid speaker grill screen - just bend it to wrap around the exterior of the port on the inside of the duct and use two small screws to hold it in place).
Also that looks like a factory bumper. And to mount those ducts someone had to have cut the bolts for the bumperette mounts.

The Racing Dynamic ones for 964s are made by MA Shaw, I believe. I remember seeing a post on the 964 forum about them. According to the post the lights are non-align able.
