Happy Halloween!!!
Is the below part circled in red available here in the states. And what is it called.
I would like to get a pair to get rid of some of the orange on the front end.
Any help greatly appreciated.

And thank you Adam Chaplin for the pic of your beautiful car I used.

Hey Wade,

Amir (Zamirz) was asking me about availability of these a few weeks ago and I made a few calls, but was never called back and then I prompty forgot! Sorry, Amir!

Thanks for reminding me, Wade. I'll get right onto it on Monday (It's Saturday here now).

I'll let you know how it pans out, but they're standard on Euro/RoW cars. With the exchange rate you guys enjoy over the Australian dollar (AUD$1.00 = US$0.68), they should work out cheap, too. They shouldn't be hard to get and certainly shouldn't cost very much.

I'll update again on Monday.

[edit] They aren't scoops, just rubber blanks. I'm sure there's plenty of smashed up 911s that still have them. I'll call my favourite breaker again on Monday.

Not a scoop, just a piece of trim that replaces the light.

Jester911,
Thanks for your reply!
The air scoop goes on the other side with the oil cooler.
I do know it's a bumper pad like the one that goes across the front, only about 6" long to fill in the reflector opening.
But is it a Euro only piece?

Adam,
Much appreciated!!!
They really do clean up the look in the front.
And again, that is one killer car you have!

Thanks, Wade.

I'll just double-check the PP Catalogue to see that Wayne doesn't offer them first. From a quick glance through it, they don't seem to be available.

this looks like them:

"European Side Marker Lamp Covers
The European cars in this period had a cover that attached to the side markers in order to block out the side part of the lens. Give your car the authentic European look with these lamp covers.

C-505-307-00 $85.00
911 Euro Marker Lamp, right (1974-89)

U.S. DOT requires reflectors everywhere. ROW cars had the rubber covers to cover the blank left where the reflector would go.

According to PET, the part number is 911 505 307 00 (L) and 911 505 308 00 (R) although Pelican lists this part number as a euro marker lamp. If this is the right part number, you'll also need a total of four washers and lock nuts to fasten the pieces to the car.
