Default Tech Art Brake Ducts wanted

I'm looking for a left brake duct or a set of brake ducts for a 95 Porsche 993. I'm quite sure they are Techart ducts but i'm having a hard time finding a replacement since i bought the body kit from the UK. Photos of the duct and my car are attached.
Any help is much appreciated.

There was a guy out of hong kong selling a knock-off of the techart ducts on ebay. I'm pretty sure some guys here bought them and wrote up some reviews. And if you need the matching fog lights, that's easy-- they're from a mid-90's VW Golf.

thank Eric. I found a set from a company in the UK that looks very similar for $300...
http://www.porscheshop.co.uk/acatalo...y_styling.html (2nd set down)
I just emailed them to see what they are exactly.
I hate to spend $1000 on a complete set when i already have everything but the left duct cover.

There MAY have been some strange relationship where you could get Techart parts new on the car, but I don't think so. AFAIK you need to get the Techart stuff thru Techart or a distributor.

I got them used so I don't know where they came from originally. I beleive FVD sells them too.

If I had to buy a new duct, I'd definitely find that ebay guy. Or just switch to the Turbo S ducts with fogs. I'd never ever buy this stuff from Techart due to the ridiculous price, but that's just me.

i agree it would be a joke to cough up 1K for plastic duct....
I did a search for the brake ducts on ebay but the only set i found were the Turbo S units. anyone know if the replica set are still sold online?

Did you find the threads where that discussion came up? Should be pretty easy to find using Search. Maybe there's a name or email address for the guy or his company.
