Good job DiegoR . That looks great. Is the yellow car a wide body or narrow body?

Perfect, great work...

Exactly what I've been looking for. If you ever decide to make any more id definitely be interested in purchasing.

Front spoiler looks great Diego, but what is going on with your rear spoiler??? Looks like a turbo S rear spoiler without the top wing on.... please do explain (more pictures).

I like the look of the first splitter on the NB 993 stock bumper. I was able to find the page with those photos and its a Japanese 993 owned by some guy name Mr. Fuji. From the reading it's a one off customed splitter. Here's some more photos I found from that site and can't seem to find bigger images of these.

1) Sorry, I have been busy the last few days, my baby just born and been with the wife at the hospital, etc.

2) Woha!! I didn't know some of you liked the spoiler we made

Back to the spoiler design, I decided to delete the little lip in the below section of the spoiler (you can see from the mother mold as factory Turbo S chin spoiler it's present) because my car is low and also because the spoiler at the begining was sitting a tad lower than I expected, with our huge speed bumps here, I didn't want to take risk to break the spoiler because of this lip facing the ground, so we deleted to increase the gap and reduce possibilities of cracking the spoiler.

Thanks! Yes, we did it in my shop, actually, my "artist" fiberglass tech did it for me, but I was the "director" of the idea and re-shape process

What are the side skirts? They look great too.
Thanks! Side skirt is a TechARt piece that came with the car when I purchased it along with wing/lid. I didn't like the "shark tale" at the end of it, so I decided to cut it and reshape it as well wehn I was resto-modding the car.

Here is a photo what it looked before the process.

Thanks. Yes, basically the re shape of the whole spoiler was a ton of work!

Thanks! Well, is not in my plans, but if there's enough interest of this spoiler, sure enough I could consider making a batch, or further more, I could create a mold of it to make a cast mold/template for polyurethane injection instead rather than fiberglass

Happy you like it ....sure, like I said previously if tthere's enough people interested on it I might consider doing a batch etc But that's something we will ned to gauge the interest of it and I'm not sure how we can accomplish that.

Thanks The rear spoiler/wing is a TechArt piece. It's a close replica of the regular turbo wing except it has slight different shape and some "fake" holes at the side on the top part as you can see in the previous photo (when it was silver). I cut the "ducts" and there are some holes now that are functional now and the air flows at the back into the engine bay.

Here's a shot from behind....

Potentially another interested party here.... pending costs of course as shipping to Europe won't be cheap.

I’d pay an unreasonable amount of money for this NB front spoiler
