Amazon Amazon

Went up a bit... $258->$295. Not bad for four years though.

FCP euro is well priced at $319.

When I need mine, I chose amazon as they had it available with next day delivery.

Washed it and fixed the cheap eBay aero splitter. The mold they use is 3/8" too short, so I ended up splitting off the side and using plastic weld to extend it and bond it back together. I think I'm done with these, when I break this one I'm getting a Joe Toth splitter instead. I should've just bought one of his to begin with, I've replaced this eBay splitter something like 3-4 times, which would've paid for the nicer, better fitting one from Joe several times over.

Before I went GT2, I had to attack mine with a heat gun to get it to fit properly, probably a good Idea you have in the long run.

I would've got GT2/Ruf if it wasn't so damn expensive. Ruf is ~$4500 delivered, plus paint/fitment. So maybe $5500-6000. OEM is $7100 just for the parts, then shipping/paint/fitment. Ugh.

I’ve been having the exact same issue - car sits on a tender, starts up (but seems like it is kinda slow to start), drive to dinner, then come out and battery is dead. Battery is new and tests out fine, so has to be starter, alternator, or alternator cable (I guess). Short drives after sitting seem to be what kills it for me - please post up if the replacement alternator or starter takes care of it.

I am putting my trust in the forum that this is it... plus, the OEM is twenty years old, so it probably wouldn't hurt to swap it out.

What you describe is identical to what is going on with me, car has been parked a week, battery seems fine.
