Gents,

Sorry for the delay in responding, I been extremely busy with my electric company.

To answer a few questions:
1. Yes, I can make it as a one-piece Batwing replacement with integral splitter.

2. I can keep it along the same design criteria as the 951 version, I just need to know what length you would prefer the lip, as I will only be doing one for the '68's. The V1 is 2", the V3 is 4" to give some sort of reference (and anything in between)....both are within PCA guidelines.

3. We would still need to drum up a bit more support to keep the costs down, but I think that can be achieved when word spreads.

4. And yes. I think early May is doable....but I will need to locate a '68 in Va. that I can use for a week for scanning OR if someone has a spare nose that would be even better, as I can have it for fit & finish fitment, then send it back once we are done.

Hope this helps, but if you have anymore questions, concerns or ideas please let me know!

Thanks,
PATRICK

I would be interested in the V1 - 2" (street car) as long as it followed the contour of the body and blended into the body like the TS splitter...

Have/would you consider doing rocker's like Arktech use to produce...I would love to get a one piece with sme aero style...

Sam those rocker covers actually started life as the VeilSide V1 RX-7 kit and then modified to fit the 968

Not a fan but LOVE those rims - Anybody know what they are? They look similar to my Veloce GT1's which are going on the 993

Arktech also made a nice rear spoiler among other things. Those sideskirts sort of resemble E36 M3 sideskirts.

Mark,

I agree that the rockers are a little over the top - but a little toned down/subtler aero look - not so wide a profile - and being one piece would be nice...

Here's another pic of the whle car and no I'm not going for the front end - now thats over the top

I'd like to see a set of 996 GTS Aero style side skirts on our cars - a bit similar but more in keeping with our P-Cars

Those rims look like Ray's Engineering.
Yes agreed they do look a little like the Rays Volk TE37 but they are 6 spoke and Forged like my GT1's - The wheels on the Arktech car are cast mate if you look at them but they do look fantastic and match the lines of the 968 so well - I used to be an importer for them to the UK along with 5zigen who make some great rims back in my rice days.

It is funny that "Rodeo Drive" one of the main sponsors of Arktech are actually a counterfeit company selling al the fake Italian handbags etc link Prada etc - Hell they must be doing well out of us westerners

I’d love to know what happened to their old 968 mid engine race car before they moved onto their current 986 developments.

Can anyone update the status of the V1/V3 splitter for our cars. I really need something for the race car.
