Default Group Buy DRS Turbo S Front Bumper Interest?

Hi all,
I am in talks with Jan at DRS about his carbon fiber and Kevlar Turbo S/RS front bumper, rear bumper, wing, ect. Anyone interested in components from him in order to reduce shipping costs to the US? At this point the crate is about $1100 to get it to Utah, at which point items would have to be re-boxed, I'm thinking cardboard with internal wood frame, and mailed UPS/USPS/FedEX to individuals.

I'm interested, however I can't see any pictures on the DRS site showing the part. Can you point to a few as well as cost? As far as shipping in the US, I'm in Arizona so I'll just fly my own plane up and pick it up.

Cheers

You could fly round the country dropping them off, like a 968 Santa Claus

I’m interested in this front bumper for sure and On this same note I have sent the front section of a original factory 968 turbo S hood that I got 5 years ago that had been bent in a on track incident with Naca ducts and ram air into airbox along with dual hood latch bosses to Kyle Schiemann composite manufacturer in Detroit area and he is grafting it to a donor 968 hood to make mold and eventually most likely spring ‘23 a full carbon fiber 968 turbo S hood for me and one Other rennlister. I’m sure he will sell a few more as his parts are perfect, he’s already sold several carbon sunroof delete roof sections and hoods for 944 owners his parts are extremely great.

boost - please post more information when you are ready, or send me a PM. I am interested in buying a hood and hopefully that’ll lower your project cost.

I have one of Jan's carbon fiber Turbo S adjustable rear wings and his work is just amazing.

Once I get an update early next year I will pass along to you guys & again prob not getting a unit until spring ‘23

he did say they will all be turbo S with just Naca ducts vents, if you want RS intercooler vent opening you will have to cut That in, I have a template from factory hood for that, there will be at least a few hundred dollar $$$ difference between a carbon hood that was paintable finish on outside and one that has perfect weave for clearcoat show off carbon weave hood. I’m going with a paintable outside skin to color match maritime blue for my 968 and leaving the under engine side carbon to match intercooler RS duct

Please ask about the weights of these carbon Kevlar parts so we can understand the weight savings over stock. Thanks
