Default 924 Turbo Nose Piece

Hey i know this is frowned upon, but i need the money badly, and so i'm selling off the excess porsche parts that i own, and i know that a lot of you guys would be into converting your front end nosepiece to the vented turbo 924 style/924gt. only weird thing about it is that it doesn't bolt in, it was welded in and so you are going to have to cut it which is no big deal and then just drill out where the holes should be and screw it in. no bid deal. my other auctions are a slave/master cylinder and a passenger side window. yet again i know i shouldn't be advertising here, but i am in desperate need of the money. hope you guys understand i'm a college kid.

When you make eBay ads, it's critical to put "Porsche 944" in the title (not just the body) so people can find it. That's probably why you haven't been getting any bids.

BTW, do you combine shipping? I can probably use the slave/master....

Strange, my 924 Turbo nose panel also had the wave in the metal, it was also still attached to the rear portion Did it go diagononally across the center?

Based on the pictures it looks like its still connected to the hood latch and the bottom piece, you should also state the welds need to be drilled out before you can mount it.

Its a great looking upgrade, had it on my car but ended up destroying it...was lucky to find another!

PS. We should start a club, poor college kids with 944's. Im in the same boat..

ya i bought it when i originally bought my 924S like a year and a half ago, and it just sat because i never had the time to sand it paint it 'n such. i bought it off of ebay and am actually using that old picture because its located at my parents house. i dont think the way goes diagonally, although its been a while since i've looked at it. the wave is just right of the far right vent, like where the trim stuff is. oh and ya its still got the latch stuff. well now more revisions on the item have been maid thanks fellow college students! haha and to you too Cheers.

I may buy that one. . . Getting sick of fighting with the one I have. Drilling out those welds and cutting all the crap out of the way is a major pain. I need to finish removing it and get the remainder of the front-end of the car outta' my garage soon. Been there WAY too long. . .

You too, huh? I'm almost at the exact same place -- except one step ahead of you on eBay...

Would be really nice if you put $18 of that money back into Renn for a membership, given your post above and the rules for non-members posting for-sale items in the tech forum.
