Cargraphic Slightly in the expensive side though...
Anyone doing similar ones in FRP?

Nice find!

Yes, FRP and designed for a 993 would be better. I would like them to sit farther back too....

Doug,

That is better placement but probably not enough venting. Also, I don't want to put slats directly in the fiberglass fenders. I want to have a part I install similar to what Pete posted.

I think the best solution is to get Mahlers9th to make me a set. But he won't even make himself a set. So I may just open up a section in the fender right behind the wheel arch. Similar to what is seen here:

Vision Motorsport in orange county actually has some nice carbon fiber ones now. I've seen them on 993, Boxster, and Cayman.

See them on Duane's car here:

Yes, I remember seeing those. I sent an email to them asking about them and no one ever responded. I guess I should call......

Are you allowed to run a 935 style fender? Totally open at the rear. Agreed on the vents being positioned further back. Also the front louvre should be steeper than those behind it in general terms.

I saved this photo from somewhere a while ago - can't remember where I found it... Kind of interesting though.

I already checked on the KMR parts. Those pieces probably won't fit right because they require a recess in the bodywork and they cost WAY too much.

Winder - Please explain what you mean by recess? Are the vanes quite high?

Flat6 thanks!
