Post Anyone looking for a front protection bar for their 993?

A must for lowered 993s...

I bought 4 bars a while back, one for myself and 3 for some PCA guys. In the end when they arrived the people who wanted them backed out sticking me with 3 bars that I don't need and a bill already paid for.

So if anyone is in need of one I have 3 for sale. I just want to get rid of them. 130 shipped. I paid after the EURO (165 Euros) conversion roughly 180 US each. I want to take my losses and get them out of the garage.

Another note: I was bored so I used my Dremel and polished all of them to a mirror shine and decided to replace the end plastic caps with stainless steel caps. The bars are 100% Stainless steel. E-mail me for photos, I don't know how to post them here.

If you do have one left, count me in! I can be reached via email. I am in Cairo on business (interesting place!) but can get email.

Cheers,

Mike

Hi all thanks for all the interest. I'm replying to everyone VIA e-mail so I don't take up too much bandwidth.

Graham I purchased the bar from a place in Belgium. From the pictures I have sent to everyone they seem to agree that it is a product of this Gert fellow. Whoever he is, he made a great product. So I don't know if Carnewal made them. I polished mine and the end result was amazing. Now I'm worried that I'll scrape the bar LOL.

I know that BradB wanted one a few days ago, but he's out of town on business until Thurs. If possible, put his name on one and I will send him an e-mail.

HOLD ON!!! I sent Dixon funds via Paypal, and still haven't seen the tracking number as he promised. Maybe not a problem, but hold on here until I get some feedback from Dixon.

Anir,

I did receive photos of the fpb's. It showed three of them, all polished up.

Dixon seems like a straight-up guy. I, too, have paid by PayPal with a credit card and have not received a tracking number. In fairness, he said he would send the bar out by Thursday.

Not too worried but will keep people posted.

Hi all,

Mark from Balimore told me about the fourm posts. (thanks Mark)

I assure everyone I am not trying to rip anyone off. Please do not e-mail me for bars until you hear back from the first few people when they get a tracking number and the item.

I would also like to say that I have 15 more bars. Some polished and some NOT POLISHED (Original state, but with stinless capped ends) I can use my polishing machine to polish them if you like. My mechanic ordered a few a while back and when I went there yesterday to pick up the mounting harware for the bars he told me he didn't sell any. I am confued as to why they are so popular over here on the board, but not at actual physical stores.

So I have a few more. So if anyone is worried wait till the first few people get them and confirm with everyone that they got it and is exactly as described and then ask me for the bar.

I didn't want to come here and make people worry but to get rid of the bars I had and now the bar my mechanic has. I'm so sorry for all the confusion.

The bar will all be sent out Thursday and all tracking numbers will be provided to all.
