I finally cleaned up the parting area. been waiting for the engine stand for a past month but still nothing so I figured I have to use A JE TO style transportation :>

if you don't know what A JE TO is, youtube it



the person on the photo is a friend, not me..

This is a great project. I only know of one that has been done locally and it is quite an awesome car. Very nice looking base car as well.

That looks solid. The bumper just looks a lot more mean than the U.S. one.
Good luck!

I agree, the euro NA Bumper is hottttt!!!!!! I am not a big fan of the US spec Na bumper but that euro just works. This will be a sweet car.

Those euro NAs look SOOO much cooler than turbos in my opinion, and i LOVE the White car with White fuchs! Now add that turbo engine and a pasha checkerboard interior with sportseats, and thats my dream car!!!

Hate to repeat what everyone's said, but damn that bumper is sweet.

I wish Porsche put a lot more thought into the 944 series than what it looks like they did.

sorry to dissapoint you, but the euro bumper must go away for the proper venting and becouse I have GFK lightweight front fenders that match the turbo bumper the fuchs allso won't find their way back to the car, since the upgrade will result in later offset.. I will save the fuchs though, I am imagining them on some nice white older 911 :P

too bad you guys are few thousand miles away, since I will put the whole front end up to sale. cheap too..

a little update:









sorry for the size

I will put up for sale the whole front end minus the hood for 500€..
only bumper with long beam lights, blinkers and bump rubbers 100€.

according to prices for P parts here, this is considered very good price... but in us you get complete 944 for 500 bucks

I think shipping would be dramatically expensive.. I bought rear turbo vailance for $200 in us, but they notified me (after I payed) that they made a mistake and shipping will be more than $400 because the vailance is 2 inches too long
I still didn't get that money refunded..

im pretty sure that the valence would be longer than the bumper. is yours the fiberglass or the metal one?

iirc the US bumper is about 58" long. euro should be the same.
