Default Darnit! Got a 968 batwing when I need one for a 951

After holding onto this piece of plastic for about 3 years, I finally get around to trying to put it on a car. Funny, the bolt holes don't line up...

I pulled out my extra 968 front bumper cover, and presto! they lined right up. Its completely intact, with no cracks and cosmetically its "good", not excellent (its scraped a few curbs on the bottom, but nothing terrible). Is anyone in the market for a 968 batwing (and perhaps a 968 front bumper cover with slight damage) or better yet, do you have a 951 batwing that you'd like to swap?

What do you mean by batwing?

Front or rear spoiler?

Any photos

I can take pictures if you are interested, but what I mean is the lower front black underside piece that attaches below the front bumper cover.

I am guessing batwing = splitter.

Except that it doesn't really "split". lol It fits flush.

I think Scott is referring to the front drip pan / aerodynamic piece instead of the optional splitter for the turbos.

Scott, I have my batwing off my car, Its not perfect as it was on the car for 15+ years but there is nothing out of the ordinary wrong with it. Just normal scrapes on the front from a parking block...I could take a pic of it and if you want it we could arrange it seeing as we have our own secret swapping society going on anyways

Yeah, I still haven't forgotten about the EBC, but my 951 is STILL not running. *sigh* I keep finding more damage on it.

I am thinking I might try to fashion a urethane one, using a plywood mock-up.

Hey Sam, if Scott doesn't want it give me a shout. I've been looking for one. I may get an AIR splitter but if not, I need a batwing.
