wide body bumper question
What parts would I need to convert the front and rear stock bumpers of an 86 Carrera to fit wide body fenders and quarters?

Stock parts or fiberglass? turbo look or race car? what type front/rear bumper?
If it's stock, than front "clip" from a 930 (both front fenders, front valance, bumper is the same) rear flares are glassed or welded in (preferred) rear piece under bumper, rear valance? Lots of massaging. Paint. time. $$$.

The front fenders and rear quarters are already done with fiberglass flares. I want to take the aftermarket bumpers off and replace them with stock turbo or turbo look bumpers. I believe the bumpers are the same ? Is it the valence, front chin rubber, rear extensions that are needed?

sounds right. now, to do it right, check into the steel ones, the bonded fiberglass ones just don't hold up well on a street car. unless the ones on your car are looking good so far. serch for some threads on this subject, lots of good info on steel vs fiberglass rear flares.

The rears are apparently called 11" flares...where is the 11" measured from? (so that I know that stock rear extensions will fit)
