front spoiler on 73 S

[cmcfaul]

What's the front spoiler (air dam) supposed to be made out of. I have only seen fiberglass but were they originally steel?

Thanks,

The short answer is YES, the factory production 2.4S spoiler was steel. It was stock on S's and could be orders on any model 911 in '72 and '73.

The prototype S spoilers for the late '71 race cars... and then early '72 911 production cars were glass.

Hope this helps

Hi Chris, my 73E has a steel "S" front bumper from the factory.

Mine is steel (late '73 S)

Further to Chuck's post above, for production cars, the steel 'S' bumpers replaced the earlier grp version from VIN's :


911 230 0385 - Coupe

911 231 0231 - Targa

anyone sell the steel version or are they unobtanium?

We also carry them in stock, I will need to check the price. These are Porsche produced parts. Dansk have remade the none S version and they are not bad so maybe they will soon make the S version.
