turbo bumper on a N/A

[alutto944]

i want to put a 944 turbo front bumper on my N/A ....does it mounts right up or does it require any mods to make it fit

[Gawernator]

Not worth it lol. /thread

No you will need the fenders, head light covers, bumper, bumper cover, nose panel and bumper shocks.
Or you will have to cut you fenders for the angle of the cover.

And the driving light and fog light assemblies $$

this is my old post but will explain

you need to buy a 951 simil like front bumper but for NA fenders and rest.
I belive that american racing? will have it.

Those bumpers always look off ,worst thing you can do to the n/a front end plus they cost as much as all the turbo front end parts.
If you want the turbo front end do it right, Ian is parting a turbo and selling the front end as a kit FS: 944 Turbo Front End Conversion (and some other body parts) - Rennlist Discussion Forums

has any one gone the other way and put a NA bumper on a turbo? (I like the NA bumper)
just asking

Same thing but in reverse . I don't think it was ever done but i remember seeing a n/a on rennlist with a 951 engine swap . I'm not sure if engine cooling would be an issue with something like that.

Ernie that was a response to James's question (n/a bumper on a turbo ) .

As for the fiberglass turbo style bumper ,yes it's been done many times and it's always butt ugly, imho .

If you really don't like your front/rear bumper look they are other simple & less costly options.First the Euro Bumper which I personally think is the best looking bumper on any 944s or the shave front/ rear mod,easy to do & still look a heck of a lot better that them ugly bumperettes which was not Porsche doing but was dictate by both our US/CDN DOT stupid law(well I got to let some steam out sometime lol).Btw the US/CDN model 944s always did get the short end of the stick versus the ROW 944s and this in several department.

Don't forget the super hard to find connectors for them. The NA connectors are different. Keep your NA bumper. I learned the hard way that it's not worth it...
