Cars over here need these to pass the yearly technical inspection.

AFAIK the parking light isn't needed here, US cars don't even have them. But It's certainly something I need to double check

The Better Bodies ones? I can deal w/ some fitment issues but sag would drive me nuts

Bill-

Sorry, I should have stated where I bought them. They are from Better Bodies, but when I ordered them I made mention of the earlier versions that "sagged" and was assured that the "sagging" problem had been resolved. My body shop had no complaints on the pieces.

Ok, good enough. Looks like Better bodies will do.

Thanks to all!

I have a friend who will try to fabricate these in Carbon Fiber and better fitment than the better bodies kind. But it might take a while.

Hans,
Somehow those look like they would fit a 964, rather than a 993. The good news is that they already come pre-sagged.

I'm hopefully picking up a silver 95 C4, I will buy these off you, can give you the stockers, or something?

I just purchased another set for the C4S, they fit well, & I don't think they will sag at all. Some people just pull out the fog light part.

Here is a pic of my car with the better boddies ducts.
I have not routed the air to the brakes yet.

Also I installed the parking lamps in my signal light, not legal but i will not get a fine, only need to install the fog lights and take the car to inspection, the signal is much stronger than the 5w parking bulb so the signal is visible.
I would recommend filing and fitting before one gets these painted.
