According to renntech's price guide this thing is a hair under 400$. That to me seems absolutly rediculous! Does anyone know where i can get an aftermarket one, or a carbon fiber one or can you suggest an alternate source for the piece?
My wallet will thank you.
thanks man...it still hurts tho.
such a tiny piece costs so much.
i'll try calling some dismantlers and try getting it off them before i fork over so much for such a small piece.
will also keep searching for an aftermarket one
Omar:
Part Number - 996-512-988-00
Price - $278.19 (not including taxes)
Yes a lot but well worth it for functionality. You can get it at any Porsche dealer.
They are glued on. So I doubt very much you will get one from a dismantler. It is a hard piece of plastic, it does bend a little, but trying to remove one, one tha thas been on the car for nearly 10 years, I bet it will break upon removal.
So quit being a penny pincher with your Porsche.
Oh, the spoiler that goes under the front bumper (stock spoiler):
Part Number - 996-505-986-00-G2X
Price - $78.00 (not including shipping or taxes)
I got mine from Dart Auto (search online)
I think the Gurney looks cool, but until you are driving your Pcar at very high speeds, I can't imagine any aero or downforce benefit especially at highway speeds.
There is no doubt the Gurney lip adds some downforce and is functional, the question being, How can Porsche charge $275 for a little strip of Plastic. Even the front spoiler lip is only $75. I could not have replicated the front lip, but the gurney flap was easy. While I probably won't notice the performance enhancement, it certainly completes the aerokit look. I'm satisfied with my creation, the look, and my $255 in pocket TYVM.
Even these are more complex in shape and only $28.
Im sure as I have to replace parts, Ill find more items where price does not make sense. Welcome to the world of Porsche I guess.
Porsche charges that much because folks are willing to pay that much. No more. No less. Just like the gov't paying $600 for hammers back in the early years of space flight. To pad the bottom line for something else...
I just looked closely at that E-bay website offered above for those $28 spoilers and those babies are a WHOLE lot bigger than the one on my factory Aero I taco spoiler. Those are meant to BE the spoiler, not a Gurney Flap ON a spoiler. Those might look good on your Honda or Toyota sedan rear deck, but NOT as an add-on to a Porsche spoiler.
You only buy the gurney lip once... the front lip is a throw away. Im on my 2nd set front lip.... The taco wing is rare... they are hard to find, why put after market on it. Im sure the prices will just go up from here.... you're lucky you are not in the market for a PSE, the 3.4 engine cost more than the 3.6. Just bite the bullet and move on..... yes, welcome to the world of Porsche.

Not a cheap alternative, but it is an even bigger gurney lip and in combination with the larger top center, looks awesome on the car
Looks like a star ship mock up for the next Star Trek movie. For some reason I can see a motorcycle cop using that wing on my car as a table to write a ticket on.
R and D and liability.
Lawyer: so you are going to sell a $5 piece of plastic to go on the wing of the car. Why?
Porsche: to help stablize the car at 150 mph.
Lawyer: and what are you going to do when sally homemaker sews the crap out of you becasue her hubby died in a car crash going 149 mph becasue he was trying out his new $5 plastic piece that claimed it would make the car go faster and he wanted to "test it out"
Porsche: thats your problem
Lawyer: increase your liability insurance, you are going to need it.
