Default Turbo S Ducts

I am in need of some brake cooling and have been reading the threads on using the Turbo S ducts along with the install method on P-car. This looks like a good solution so now it is time to source parts. Any ideas on good sources for the Turbo S ducts? I found this on eBay. Anyone used these?

Performance Parts at automotion.com They have with and without the light. I can't do hyperlinks either.

There has been much discussion on this forum regrading this seller. I ordered the clear blinker lens from them and on a 1-10 scale rate them a 5 on fit and finish. You get what you pay for.

There is always Gert. You can't go wrong with OEM.

Getty Design, MA Shaw and Better Bodies are others that also have good reputations for fit & finish.

The Porsche ducts that Gert sells fit really well but the light itself really sucks. It does not project any light at all and should be treated as a marker only (which is what it is).

I don't even know the source of my ducts ; I bought them from a rennlister who bought them in a group buy that happened long ago. However I have upgraded the lights and wrote a DIY; here is the thread:

Hella Light DIY

That made a huge difference in the quality and quanity of light available. I am tempted to put in the HID kits as well ; that would be awesome!!

Cheers,

Mike

+1 I have some PIAA lights waiting to be installed now.
There is an ebay seller RPM Sports Cars that sells OEM ducts without the light for $100. He doesn't have an auction up now, but you could send him a message and ask for one.

Be careful with the products from HK-Plus -- their fit and finish is marginal at best.

That's a compliment. They flat out suck.
