The NA nose panel is not removable.

The only way to install that piece on your car would be to cut out your nose panel and rivet/screw in the new one, and from what I hear it is a very messy, very frustrating job.

well, that and the turbo nose panels are different than the NA's anyways, the turbos have different sized headlight covers, and the panels themselves are a bit of a different shape

Your car has a valance (nose panel) that bolts on and off. You can use a 924 or 944 panel and it will fit. A 944 turbo panel will not fit correctly.
If you were to use a vented panel from the 924 turbo, you'd need to drill holes in the panel to mount it, as it was originally welded on.

You don't drill holes in the car. You drill holes in the panel so that you can bolt it to the existing holes in the car.
Whether or not it is a worthwhile mod (finding a panel, painting it, etc) is entirely up to you.

Whenever you get a bug for doing the research for this try looking at 931 header panels..

ok so one of you guys on the forum dropped a link to gt racing, and that has sparked my intrest...ALOT, my question is when i start dropping the front and rear valence and front fenders and possiibly front windshield and rear window and hell why not the rear quarter windows as well, will screw up the structural intergity? obiviosly if i ever get in an accident i have got a slim chance of getting out unscathed.

Why do you want to remove all those parts? Are you going to get the car repainted?
