    Yes.

    For the rears, I had both the Tasker repro and used Porsche original pieces in my stash. The Taskers were way off in profile. I bought the Stoddard repros and found they fit as well as the the original Porsche pieces.

    For the front, I had heard the Stoddard repro did not fit the bumper profile so I did not try it. I had also heard that repro rubber insert would not fit the Porsche classic Al trim piece so I went with the Porsche rubber insert.

    The "joint" is barley visible.

    No, the 69-73 rubber does have a joint from day one OEM... but it's pretty difficult to see on original Porsche. The 1967S and 68S, and 68L had the one piece front and rear rubber with no joint (I make these).
    Eric, I wonder if @911GP was referring to the end of the aluminum base plate. I don't know if mine is original or not, but I note that is does have a seam where the aluminum was bull-nosed.

    for what it's worth: I checked the original Porsche rear wide S-trim with the Tasker, but the curving of the Tasker was waaaay-off (too much curve). But need to compare to the current Porsche as well (the one I have is 20 years old/NOS).
