Still looking for a ducktail and grill after all this time.
Being in Australia makes it very difficult.

Dear Owgasm.
i had mine shipped from the USA to the UK by http://www.rennspd.com/P_Detail.asp?PID=160
it was not the best fit, but looks good after some work. The grill is OEM and it cost £134 from my local Porsche parts counter.
why not contact rennspeed and ask them for a shipping quote?

My duck should be here in about 2 weeks from MASHAW. Need to find a Carrera 3.6 sticker like Robin's.

I did the same for shipping to NZ. Bought through eBay. Unrequested, they put a nominal value on the declaration, which might help with customs fees. Fit was ok, but required 7 hours of labour to fit and paint.

Thanks. I'd love to source that sticker as well. I tried all of the other suspects and settled on the original badge plus an engine capacity number on the grille.

Contact the owner of this site. He can make custom decals for you: www.nbdgraphics.com

He goes by the handle "Joe Bob" on Pelican.

I recently had some custom decals made by magnagrafik. They specialize in porsche stuff.

I've got the same question. Anybody?

Nevermind. I got it. I drilled the holes and then used my Dremmel to cut the slit. (And I had to cut the slit. The bumpers would not screw in without being there.)

What about the rubber seal at the bottom? Are you duckers running it?

Dan at Magnagrafik was stellar to deal with. He's making my "Carrera 3.6" graphics exacly the way I wanted them to look. Here are some mockups - I'm getting red and silver as I don't know which way I'll go. Probably silver.

Looking at a 993 that has a turbo deck lid. This would have had a electro-hydraulic articulating wing from the factory, yes? Or was the turbo deck lid available on non-turbo models?
