euro bumpers *drool* how much are people gettin those for these days? Are they hard to find anymore? Oh, how I want thee.

They are harder to find than a straight man in a gay bar. The one that XSBOOBS had, I sourced from Todd who was parting out a euro car. The only way you will get one is to find a grey-market euro car that is parting out, or source one from overseas.

Every year someone on here tries to organize a group buy on importing euro bumpers, etc, but it always turns into a home-made abortion.

I think the pushed in bumper look cleans up the car phenomenally. The stock look of the NA nose seems too pointy to me.

For anyone doing this mod.. Keep in mind that you should NOT compress your shocks by hand. Only drill them first and then put them back on the car with the bumper on. THEN compress the whole front bumper into place by pushing it.

If you fail to do this, and compress the shocks before thay are mounted, you will not be able to access the bolts from under the bumper.

Does anyone remember when pointy was good, and squared-off was considered boxy/truck-like? After all, race cars are pointy!

It looks OK; I agree tho the gaping looks a bit too much... Maybe if you made an insert to replace the bumper skin that is larger to fill in the gaps it will look better... (IMO)

Tell that to the designers of the 951 and 944 S2 and 968. Pointy is good when it's party of the car's lines. The US 944 version of pointy has more to do with low-speed impact rules of the time.

I really dislike the rear bumper look on US 944s. This winter I'm going with the fiberglass units for weigh savings and appearanc.e If Euro bumpers fell in my lap, I might go that route, but they are hard to find.

sorry i knew i would get flamed I'm particularly a e30 enthusiast still

Nothing wrong with an e30. Unless you rust it out and slam it. Then you should be shot (just in the leg or something).

mike10562004

def not slamming it lol

Woah woah woah... So you can't access the bolt once the bumper is squashed? How the hell do you get it off when you have to?
