Right now, my new to me 987 Spyder is on a ship to New Zealand. When it arrives, I’ll get a better sense of what will need replacing to make the car as new. I know the tips of the plastic in front of the rear wheels need replacing, but that looks like a general 987 part so cheap. Apart from the obvious Spyder parts what trim parts are unique to the Spyder e.g. front spoiler? Also, who is a good source of parts? I generally use Pelican and Design 911 for my other Porsches.

The front and side vents are unique and only available in titanium colour. Had mine repainted to go better with my red car.

Hopefully I won’t need those parts. I remember being shocked by the price of the R’s webbing door pulls. Are the front lower spoilers Spyder specific?

Marine Blue

Front bumper splitters are Spyder specific as are the front LED lights and surrounding trim. That and the silver trim pieces are typically the highest wear items. Shift **** is also high wear and Spyder specific.

There are a several other specific parts but they aren’t in high wear areas.

If the front splitters include the tabs that protrude down it looks like I might be ok.

Marine Blue

Tabs are separate. The splitter damage is typically limited to the leading edge bottom, cost of each is $185.00

If you’re patient Sunset Porsche has a cyber Monday sale every year with 20% off and they are already one of the lowest price dealers around. I’m planning on ordering a few replacements at that time to keep in storage

Exactly the type of info I wanted. Thanks.

One thing you will soon realize... any part that is specific to the Spyder will be 3 times the cost from a part that is on the standard. The tax to pay to be special.
