Default Spoiler Bellows

Anyone have a ball park cost on how much the plastic bellows is that connects from the engine lid to under the spoiler? Mine has a split in two places on the folds and doesn't look like it can be repaired. After all it's almost 10 years old so I guess it's due to be changed. It doesn't look to hard to replace but I'm wondering how they attached the bottom section - it looks like it was glued?

dont ask me why, but I have an extra one of these if you want a pre-owned on in perfect condition...

I would take ? 1/2 new price ? and ship free...???
just a thought

here is the breakdown of how it goes together
(I will edit this when I get it, slow loading tonight)

TW

The part number you need is 996-512-250-00 (Porsche calls it the rear wall) and it retails for about $110. Contact Sunset Porsche in Oregon because they offer a 15% discount on most parts are usually the lowest price. You could also contact Suncoast Porsche in Florida because they have good prices too.

Additionally, there are some fasteners you will need to get as detailed in this link by Doug, specifically the parts that attach the bellows to the spoiler. Bellows help

Here is a complete DIY in Renntech. If you can't view this you may have to sign up to be a user or make a small one time donation to Renntech. BTW, that $20 (I think) donation is well worth it. Renntech Bellows DIY

Again... Very TRUE !

So IF you are interested in my pre-owned unit PM me (no hard core sale pitch, just a plate of cookies... if you say no, it doesnt make me think the cookines are bad)

Thanks for the help guys. I've sent a PM to ivangene to take up his offer of the bellows - oops - 'rear wall' that he has.

Maybe you will end up with a GT2 wing in your package also.
