If you can source a euro 944NA front bumper that would be the easiest way to go. Look for pics or xsboost90's '89 944. the euro bumper looked just right.
GTRacing's 924Carrera GT nose also looks good but from what I've heard does take some work to get a proper fit.

I missed the 924 conversion totally! I also agree with Pete regarding the Euro bumper/nose. Have a look a pics of Euro 924/944's and you'll see what I mean.

Nose job!
Yeah,I was going to turbo the front of my 83 until I was scammed on ebay.That is a very sore subject with me now,especially in light of having to repaint and re-install the original front valance.I am still looking(already had the turbo fogs and turn signals) but I like the turbo look better.
