Man, that really stinks! Come on D9, don't let your customer down!

 

Ok just got another email. They are fine with a full refund and I can send them back until all the kinks are ironed out. Now that that is on the table I'm feeling alot better about working with them on this. Luckily this is just a cosmetic upgrade so I'm not too stressed but it has been a while...

Mark is sending pics soon to augment the instructions and they are looking at the light housing issue...

 

Glade you got it solve ,lol now Arash can pocket some of your money.

 

I ended up buying some from ebay in the end as there are some rather expensive ones about on some of the online shops. The ones I bought were advertised as 993 items ( http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Porsche-993-Br...-/280697654662 ) for £40 ($64).



This is what I received. You can see in the picture one is slightly taller than the other as the tunnel is slightly longer on one than the other. The actual size of the front opening is the same, just looks different in the photo.

Bit of sanding, Halfords (A UK car parts shop) rattle can primer and paint



Bit of lacquer



A couple of slots drilled for mounting and finally fitting



The actual ducting is the next job.

 

they look great, there might be a set of those in #53's future...

Paul, those look great! I think for 40, its definitely worth spending a little money making them right...

what i spent on the other hand...
well ive taken mine fron D9 to a few places to get the fiberglass looking right cosmetically, and the minimum amount of work and materials is 300! which would raise the cost of these things to over 600 dollars! and in the end they would still need to be modified to fit my car (which was the whole point in the first place, right???) and the light fixture mounting is all wrong...

so ive emailed D9 again about an exchange (or refund) a few days ago so we'll see what they say. Oh and they never did send pics...

 

They look good,what about a pic so we can see both of them.Glad you found a solution & hope you get your refund from D9.Take care.

 

Thanks Ernie

 

After reading this entire thread, seems I can delete one website from my favorites.. All the best with getting your money back...

 

yeah its really too bad... I even asked them a few times to check out this thread and maybe say something...

And Paul, I have to say after looking at those pics again that really looks good! especially for the price!!

 

so sent them back last week, should be there by now or very soon, we'll see what he has to say.

in the meantime i bought Arash's 993 units and just finished painting them. i'll post pics when i get them on! Thanks Arash!

 

installed them last week but only just now got some pics! im very pleased with them after all was said and done!

the fitment is a tiny bit off but i doubt too many people would even notice or care... besides they fulfill their purpose and give the car a track ready look imho...

 

and of course my car is filthy, i promise its shiny!

 

Looks great! And nice car, I don't think I've seen it before!

I always wanted to find a flexible/squishy duct to squeeze through the PS cooler on the passenger side. The driver side should be easy.

Don't worry about the dirty car - the other day I go out to my daily driver and there's bird poop on the door handle.... It's funny, the persian saying for "screw the pooch" is "crap on the handle"... it made me laugh.

 

beautiful work.
