Default Strosek parts anywhere?

Can anyone think back of any sources for Strosek parts besides Fred Opert and Bob Anziono, and Vitorio Strosek?..........and I mean anywhere on the planet.....UK, Australia, anywhere.
Thanks in advance for any company or shop names......that anyone can think of.

funny story about my connection to fred opert....back in 1972 when i was in 6th grade, his wife was my earth science teacher...they got divorced about 17 years ago

they lived in ny unitl they later moved to new jersey.

i called fred opert 5 months ago to talk with him...it was nice to catch up about the old days in westchester ny.

Well.. It looks..out of place. Definately ruins the beautiful classic lines of the 993 IMHO. But beauty is in the eyes of the beholder..

The sample car, IMHO, is tastefully restrained.

Agreed.

I hear Strosek and I immediately think of the mole-like headlights. That is usually the part that makes me ill.

Sorry for the useless post Gregg... wish I could help. Hey, at least the thread is at the top again

No problem.......the mole-lights made me ill too.
Vitorio Strosek builds whatever you want......meaning, you can't blame him if you've totally f#d-up the car.

i was going to suggest getting into a time machine (delorean maybe?) & going back to 1986... beverly hills motoring had their kits.

hey, to each their own, imho that kit looks dated (like the movie: "corvette summer") & oem still looks classic & better designed.

Never cared for Deloreans.......(or Michael J & his time machine).....but I'm still OK with driving this relic around......you are right 24, to each his own.....definately what makes the world go round.
