I was considering the OEM WB Wide Ovals but at almost 1k I think I'm going to go with the Ruf ones.

What was it? $1200 for bumperettes for 356 that guy was talking about at tech tactics?

Contact Andraya at Sunset Imports Porsche parts for widebody wide ovals direct from Porsche. She wrote me a quote for $370/per in November.

Cut off the muffler outlet pipe, rotate 180 deg & re-weld = an offset change of 35mm, which allows NB wide oval tips to fit perfectly.

Generally easier to find NB 'ovals'

I have Silverline oval tips on my car. They came with the car when I bought it. Not sure how much they cost but you can check them out at www.silverlineexhaust.com



Not the best pic but you can see them on the car

IMHO the tips really need to be slash cut to follow the bumper lines, the straight ended ones dont do it for me at all!

It appears Silverline makes "universal" tips which means finding a set with the proper offset to fit a WB 993 is probably nil.

There is a pair of OEM WB Wide Ovals on ebay: link here

$500 Buy-It-Now and about $16 shipping. Someone who has the money ready act fast!

IMO I don't think this set is worth $500 , one of them has a deep scratch and the sellers doesn't have a good rating

I don't see a scratch anywhere, but the photos are not great to begin with. Define great rating.

Most of the tips I've seen (including the ones that I got for my car) are scratched on the bottom from steep driveways, etc. The tips in the auction don't have any imperfections on the bottom, at least as far as I can tell. But they will almost as soon as you put them on the car, if it's lowered. Guaranteed.

Where bro? I don't see a deep scratch, I see a reflection. But that's just me
