it has a longer curve to it, it will bolt on the car but will look funny next to the 924/944NA headlight covers.

I saw a 944 NA with that header panel (or one similar to it) and it just didn't look right. The panel curved too far forward and didn't even remotely follow the lines of the front bumper which made it glaringly obvious that it wasn't a good fit.

BTW, the header panel on the 924 is welded on (no clue about the 924S) so that may be something the person might have to consider as well.
