OK, I'll go by Opert. He's in Mahwah, NJ.

I had talked with Fred a while back and he has to order it from Europe just like we do.

Yup - and I guess they're just over the Mahwah/Ramsey border so they have a Ramsey, NJ, address. Doesn't change the fact that they're five minutes from my home. I'll try to stop by there today.

Much appreciated. Perhaps he'll already have a shipment coming and simply add that splitter to the roster.

Wishful thinking...

Anyone want to inquire about a group buy?

i tied to get a group buy going on the sideskirts nearly 2 years ago. Not many people were interested then. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif[/img]

Fredopert as offering a 30% discount off list if i bought 4 sets

I just returned from meeting Fred Opert. Nice guy, at this point a bit of a rinky-dink business, only sells new cars, but is a (the?) Strosek distributor. He says there is no stock in 968 parts in the US or in Germany but they can be made - and a group buy could result in a significant discount. As an example, he estimated that a 968 "kit" of the side skirts and splitter would go for about $1,000 - a 40% discount. To firm up pricing, he's going to contact Germany and find out what they'd charge for a group buy of 10 splitters, and what the "add" would be if there was a demand for the side skirts. He said he'd have numbers for me by Friday - and I'll let you know when I know.

In the meantime, though, since this could get serious - who wants what?

i would still be interested in the skirts. I like my CF AIR splitter.

Already have the splitter, currently not interested in the side skirts until a see a set installed. So count me out.

Not sure if the skirts would look "right" on a yellow cab... Dark-colored cabs and coupes- I think they will look incredible!

Jim, does this mean some Strosek parts might find their way onto to your lovely?

Anchorman,

I would be more interested in getting these sideview mirrors then the sideskirts. Can you get me a price?

I think we have 4 here now. Id be in.

I'm just trying to help out. I have no interest in having any of these items on my car.

Splitter and skirts.

I'd love to add my name but I can't justify the extra 22% for our sagging CDN dollar plus the extra freight. May be next year if out dollar returns to par [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/mad.gif[/img]

hmmm - those mirrors are definitely not my taste - for starters they are way too small to be very effective - the ones in our car are poorly placed as it is - to me those also look like mouse ears - on the yellow car they look even sillier - i think somebody needs to paint a face on the front - maybe eyebrows over the headlights, and whiskers coming from the washer bumps - then they could sell advertising space on the side - would be a great marketing car for an exterminator company

beauty is always subjective ( well, in most cases [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/rolleyes.gif[/img] ) but I also think those mirrors are awful on our car, though they may go well on a new VW bug. IMHO, it would kill the 968 lines, making the entire car appear stubby.

Rich it was pleasure speaking with you.
Forgot to tell you my zip code is 21050.

Looks like I'm out on the Strosek.

and i totally agree about "the eye of the beholder" - i've certainly done things to my car that others don't like
