Default FS: 931 panel

No plastic vents, has a couple of small dents, and I stripped it of paint. The structure is perfect, just need a little bit of smoothing and paint.

I MAY have the vents somewhere, if I find them, I'll throw them in for another $15.

$100 + shipping OBO.

what's needed to fit this to a 951?

i've got a crazy-slav-type body guy that does any body work i've needed before, he's not big on bondo, and he uses a heat gun.

if you find those vents, let me know.

You'd need to cut out the vent area and graft it onto the 951 panel. The 931 nose is shaped differently than the 951 nose.

To get those vents on your "crazy body-guy" is going to have to measure/cut the stock panel, intergrate the vents you must buy, repaint and install. NZ951 (Machtig Turbo) although he is no longer with us did this and it looks great. Thaddeus actually performed surgery on a 931 nose and installed on his 951. He said it took AGES and was never 100% perfect. take this for what its worth.

If I didn't just buy a house last week, and christmas wasn't next week...I'd be all over that. If you still have it in 3 weeks, let me know and you can consider me a sale.

I just want to chime in and say that is an EXTREMELY good price for a vented nose panel and if Dmitry finds the vents and excellent one. I just went through the trouble of removing all the spot welds from a 924 Turbo nose that was still connected to the front clip. It was a TON of work and took about one full day. Its at the body shop currently getting all the holes filled in with welds and painted.

And for anyone put off about trying to mount it, its very easy. All you need are a rotary tool with a cutoff wheel, a dremel works well. You simply need to cut about 1.5 inchs off the angled support for the nose panel. Nothing structural or anything that someone can see in the event you make a mistake. Its very simple. That and drill four holes along the top for screws. Its not as bad as it seems! I was planning on doing a writeup but was too lazy to finish it. I do however still have a ton of pictures showing the install.

Damn Dmitry, where was this last month...i would have saved myself so much trouble!

Consider it sold if it's still for sale!

I'd like it with the vents too! I"ve been looking for this and the 931 hood for a while now to fix up my car and get the paint job done in the spring.

I'll just have it shipped into work zip code there is 38112. PM me with the details.

Yea... I've been putting it of because of the effort. I guess I'd better get off my lazy butt, huh? But if you have pics, post a writeup!
