WTB 944 NA Turbo Front Bumper
I am looking for a front bumper for a 944 NA that is turbo style. I do not want an OEM 951 front bumper. Thanks.

I noticed a glass one on eBay, was molded for the N/A fenders.

Thanks for the information. I have been following it for a few days. I also saw it go from $102 to $300 today. I am hoping fpr something a little more reasonable. I will at least try for a while, and if I have no luck I will buy new.
Thanks! |

I have a buddy with a turbo bumper cover that was modified to fit a N/A fender on one side. It was on a parts car and I know he has no use for it. If you want a cheap turbo look, you can modify the other side to match. He also has about 10 turbo fenders collecting dust if you want to go the other route. |

It was trimmed to fit the N/A fender. The PO was some kind of moron. He used a turbo fender on one side and an N/A on the other. This nose piece is now useless for a turbo car. However, if someone wanted to use it on an N/A car, you can trim the other side to match. You're going to repaint it anyway so you spend a little time making sure the edges are nice and straight and it'll be fine. You'll end up with "turbo look" nose for N/A fenders made from OEM material. It'll probably be more durable than the fiberglass "Turbo look" nose panels and cost you less. You'll be fixing someone elses hack job though.
On the other hand, you can grab a nose panel that was not hacked up by an idiot and get a pair of turbo fenders. The headlight covers and nose center are slightly different too but you may not need them. I cannpt recall if the shape variation is only between the headlight/center. |
