Those are pics of the finish product from Deutsche Nine site ,third pic is off a japaness import here in Canada.If you look closely the D-9 one seem to be push in a little bite more & don't seem to be as flush as the japan import ,wonder why.If you zoom in at 150% you'll see it better.

i was actually going to pick up a pair of those before they came out with the 993 turbo RS style with the small round fog light in addition to the brake vent.

they posted a pic of an unpainted one by itself, im just waiting to see what it looks like on a car...

The 993 style with the fog light combo is the one I am looking to pick up, once I see a painted one installed or posted on their site.

Aesthetically, I feel the small round lights make the front look "busy".

Functionally, they could be useful as a day light driving lights!

this is kind of what i was going for... i think with euro signals it won't look as busy as if there were bumprettes between the two...

I think the Japanese version that follows the lines of the car have a much more original look. Do you have a plan for funneling air down to the brakes? Just some sort of flex hose?

its my understanding that only the driver's side can be used for airflow... ive had the power steering cooling rack out of the car before to replace that little rubber bit near the resevoir and without it, theres room to put some sort of ductwork through. with it though, its way too tight. maybe it could work though... i think the turbo RS cars actually had a seperate vent in the bumper for the brakes...

I have these that I want to sell... not made by D9 but basically the same thing. They're 993ts pieces but work on the 968.



Before the minor modification to fit the 968:


You're right, the PS cooler is in the way of the passenger side cooling duct. I thought a really narrow duct with generous length could be shoved in there and routed to the brake, but I never got around to it. I basically bought them to replace my cracked stock fog lights but I want to try finding stock lights.

I might be interested in those. I'd need to see photos of the back side, and get a measurement on the diameter of the openings for the lights.
