Front Vent Question! HELP!!

Hey guys, so my 993 C4S will be delivered to my house within the next 10 days.....and i have a question! THe car has the front "turbo" airducts in the front bumper....are these real on the car that I've bought? or are they an aftermarket peice? ics can be seen here:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWN%3AIT

NOW, I see these on ebay ( yes I know that they are replicas...but are they replicas of an original Porsche part?) I just really like to make my cars look how they SHOULD look, and use factory or Factory replica pieces!
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWA%3AIT
I dont like the look of most aftermarket stuff....ANY help that can guide me to the closest thing to a factory peice will help so much! THANKS!

ADAM

Great looking car. Congratulations.

I'm no expert, but I believe those airducts were always aftermarket.

The one on the car you purchased are aftermarket. The one in the auction are replicas of the Turbo S air ducts. Since the wattage of the S duct fog lights were so weak, some aftermarket ducts came with higher wattage positioning lights.

Either one doesn't really matter because, again, these are replicas of the air ducts on a 993TT S. The C4S came with fog lights, period. If you want to go more original, you can always purchase the fog lights.

Nice looking car BTW. Congrats and have fun!
