I asked and was told this does not (perfectly) fit 964 Turbo wide bodies. Is this correct? I did not know there was a difference on the front splitter mounting points vs. narrow body. TX

We need to find a original techart turbo lip for them to reproduce. If someone knows of one they could loan to this company we would all be greatful!

Why Tech Art? The original Porsche 3.8 RS lip fits both narrow and wide body trays. If you have to reproduce the lip why not just reproduce that lip (which just pop rivets on) and everyone can use their pre-existing trays?

The yellow ones are the wide body versions from my turbo before i had them soda blasted. I have to say that whilst they may be expensive being Techart they don't really have too much optical presence on the car.

Given the choice i'd go for, and have been trying to track down a set of for ages, a set of the 3.8RS lip spoilers either complete of as the add ons to the original undertrays.

A couple of issues are:

In order to reproduce them you would have to disassemble the lips from the trays and while that does not destroy them in any way they are no long original once you reassemble them.

Given the above you would have to use a second set that you are willing to disassemble - no one will do that with the set on their car. I used to have a disassembled set that I used to create and RS look on my narrow bodied 964 cab (which is why I know they fit both narrow and wide body trays) but I sold them some time ago.

It looks like the replica manufacturer is in the UK? They should be able to order a set from Porsche Exclusive. Otherwise I can try to order a spare set two from Exclusive.
