Default Slant Nose Bumper Search **Update** Rennspeed is AWESOME

Does anyone know of a front spoiler that looks like the DP offerings for the slant nose? All the aftermarket bumpers look right at home on the regular bodied 930s, but just don't suit my taste for this application.

The goal is to get rid of any rubber on the front bumper, and have driving lights mounted as in the picture. I also need an opening for a large FMOC, so this looks like the perfect solution...if I can find one.

Any help is appreciated.

FYI, my AIR valance came with no brackets and took quite a bit of fabrication to get it to fit right. I the end it worked fine, but they're not exactly plug and play. This might be true industry wide, but this is the only product I have experience with.

Guns,

Are you going to have pop up fender head lights and air dam lights?

I'm going to weld up the headlight openings and go with HID Xenon driving lights in the bumper. Talked to the shop I'm getting the car from, the headlight linkage is def. not factory. I don't want the issues with pop ups, always loved the looks but hated the problems with them.

Link to 935 Style fiberglass bumper

Here is another link I found on like the 37th page of Google, this is the bumper i'm getting as this company is $25 cheaper for the budget minded people out there and actually shows the product they're selling. The finish looks pretty sharp as well. I might still have to go to AIR for the lexan driving light shields.

I hope the lexan from AIR fits well on that valance.

You and me both! If not I'll have the shop fab something up, these guys have been doing 911s for over 22 years so I'm sure they can have something made for me. I'm just so excited about the whole thing!

And this is the tail from AIR, its an extended DP tail. I couldn't find this one anywhere else...

Dumb question? Is there a minimum/maximum height the head lights need to be off the ground?

I like the look, but I'd hate to go through all the work and get busted for it!

You may want to look at rennspeed, they have the best fiberglass prices and they have that style front bumper, I believe.

I was told by a guy in the industry that some of the AIR pieces are not a good fit.

If you call Rennspeed, the guy that runs the place is pretty cool. I think his name is Peter, but don't remember for sure....

Rocket: Actually yes the do have to be a certain height off the ground, but where I live and as much as I'll be driving this car I don't think I'll have to worry about it. The only time I'd get busted is at night - and then I'd be driving the 550 as this will just be a grocery getter/back road burner. Good looking out!

DDD: Correct, that bumper is from Rennspeed, I like their site as they actually show what they sell. I know from the 951 section that AIR pieces aren't the best fit (splitters) but if I can't find that tail anywhere else I'll have to get it from them.

Peter is a good guy to deal with. I have been buying parts from him since the early 90's.

DP still sells that tail. http://www.dp-motorsport.de/31.html?...304&product=17. You can buy it direct, or I know a shop in SoCal that imports DP stuff.
