Default GT3tek RS Splitters and Headlight Washer Delete Installed

Had these put on last week. They fit and finish is great. I'm very happy with the results.

Very nice! Great quality durable product and fit vs the crappy fiberglass one's. Installed mine about 1 month ago and it was very easy.

Chad, Your 993 Looks great! Why delete the Headlight Washers?
Where did you source the clear signal lenses?

Hey, guys.

Why delete the Headlight Washers?
I deleted the washers for two reasons. I don't like the way they look and also because I accidentally hit the washer lever sometimes and then wind up sraying the front of the car. With a black car in HOT south GA it winds up spotting really badly.

Where did you source the clear signal lenses?

I bought these from a member who was selling his 993. They are Euro signals that have been cut down. They fit great. I'm sorry but I don't know who did the conversion. Maybe someone else can chime in on this as to a source.

Thanks! I am considering a duck or RS tail. The RS would probably be easier to install so I may go with that. I love the retro look of the duck though!

Picked up my Clear Corners from Suncoast. It appears they followed the DIY that is on youtube cutting down the US version. Popped right in.

where did you get the ''cover plugs'' for the deleted headlight washers? Am thinking about getting the delete done as well but had thought about getting them filled (welded) - thoughts??

I installed a set of their RS splitters and while I like the look the fit is not very good in some areas. I contacted them and showed pictures of a large 1" gap on the trailing ends inside the fender and they have no explanation and offered no solution. I was able to fill in the gap with foam and unless I point it out most eyes would overlook it. As for headlight plug delete plugs, one possibility is to go to Lowes and get a pair of plugs for those holes. They carry a variety of automotive hole plugs and cost less than $2. You have to paint them anyway and if they are a loose fit a dab of RTV will keep them from ever falling out. I am currently doing this to cover the holes that will be left for my basket handle.

A pic would be helpful to visualize your problem.

Did you actually talk to Joel on the phone? I have a hard time believing that he would be as laizzez faire as you are implying.

I spoke to Armando the owner and to Joel whose car the parts were used to produce the parts and there is no solution that they were willing or able to offer. I am not flaming them just relating my own experience with the fit of the parts and the results of talking it over with them. I can try and put up pictures later but cannot do it from my phone, but my purpose is not to hijack this thread, just sharing an experience.

Just to clear the air we don't believe there are any problems with our 993RS splitters.
I know for a fact that our 993RS splitters are exactly the same size as the factory 993RS splitters because we used a set of OEM factory 993RS splitters to make the molds and didn't make them any smaller, larger, shorter or taller. As a matter of fact the only thing we changed is the shape of the slots in the bottom to sharp rectangles instead of rounded ends on the slots.

Considering the price of the OEM's is around $900.00 shipped to the US, ours are a bargain and being made from polyurethane instead of PVC like OEM, ours are also unbreakable.

Cheers,
Joel B.

These par would only fit on European bumper cover (without guards).
