75 yesterday, but if it makes you feel any better I’m on my way to Fairbanks today for a couple days of business, where it’s -30. Where’s my Dakar rental??
Wanted to thanks folks for recommending Xylene for cleaning up undercarriage. Respirator and good ventilation needed, and it will remove cosmoline. But it's quick and doesn't take much.
I'm revamping my suspension and wanted to clean up the wheel wells. This took less than 15 minutes.

Looks great but need a professional respirator because xylene is seriously nasty stuff.
I had a little fun with my rear grille and added the narrow body Turbo S front splitter. WERKS Reunion in Amelia was fun too... despite the rain.
Any more on that splitter please? It's definitely not a Turbo S splitter; it looks completely different, plus a Turbo S splitter can only fit to a Turbo bumper, whereas you have a narrow body Carrera bumper...
(examples of Turbo S splitter below)
Any more pics you can share of your version @Damian0380? along with supplier details, would be helpful. Not seen that design before!
Thank you! It was a DIY...it was time to replace/refinish the grille, as it faded badly. I decided to mod it by taking out three of the louvers, sandwiched a honeycomb aluminum mesh between the grille and spoiler, and added a vintage 911 badge. I am going to adjust the dimensions slightly for the next one.
It was expensive...$1300 USD, but that included $250 for freight. I ended buying it through Scuderia Parts (UK) as they were able to reduce the cost some. I was originally going to do an entire Turbo bumber...but ended up seeing too many NBs with that mod. The photo you have of the blue 993 has a slightly different center lip detail...Mine is continuous with not notch per se. Here are the pics i do have handy...even one before it was painted. I can get you more later.

For others' benefit, the blue one is below. Your version, the continuous lip, is far more aesthetically pleasing than this one:

Just realised, this style of splitter is quite reminiscent of the 968 Turbo S front splitter, refer to this gallery to see the similarities : https://imgur.com/a/MZAO0JF
If/when you have a chance for more photos (please), it would be good to see: (1) whether it is as prominent as the 968 version which does 'stick out' quite a bit and (2) whether the fixings are on the two front corners only, or if there is a central fixing point which holds it together and in place too, and also (3) how tightly it sits against the PU bumper (any gaps? or snug). Goes without saying, the more pics the better! Thanks in advance.
