Thumbs down Warning! Warning! Danger, Will Robinson!

Only six left is a pile of BS. Before I clicked on the link, I knew who was selling it: good, ole Dixon Kwong aka Pierre Tien aka Patrick Tien aka Mable Tien, a banned Rennlister and worse than Royalty. Before he came onto the 993 board, he had quite a bit of a reputation. You can buy a crappy copy of a Carnewal bar from a guy who lies to people on Rennlist. Or you can just buy it from Gert. Or you can buy a used Carnewal bar. Personally, I didn't need to save $160 from a rip-off artist.

Want to know more about this how this started on the 993 board? Click here: https://rennlist.com/forums/993-forum/11928-anyone-looking-for-a-front-protection-bar-for-their-993-a.html

I saw that one on eBay the others seam to be 2-3X the price.

My question is, does it do anything for a car with the Aero kit? I seam to hit the front spoiler before the under side.

Save your money. The front lip of the splitter is lower than the FPB, so the bar is of no use. I tried lowering the bar with spacers, but could not get it low enough to do any good.

Not only did he copy the idea, he also took pictures of our website.
The picture of the red car is taken in my old workshop. He even photoshopped out the Belgian license plate.

The picture of the black car with the bend bar belongs a Rennlist member, who used our FPB, not his creation.

There is always a choise between a cheap replica or the real deal.

Nice to see a Rennlister remembers these things before others get suckered...way to watch our backs!

Buy from Gert. It'll outlast this *%@*&! crap! And Gert is a Rennlist sponsor, and a Porschephile who is always happy to answer your questions when it's 3AM your time and he's eating lunch.

...too bad about the Euro/Dollar exchange rate, though
