Van Zweeden (in Holland I think) has a fiberglass replica of the turbo nose for N/A cars. Check out their web page at <a href="http://www.v-zweeden.com/ned.htm" target="_blank">www.v-zweeden.com</a>
It doesn't come with the lights though, and I believe those are quite expensive...

Lights: Got 'em.
Nose: Got it.
Mounting brackets, attachment points, bumper re-inforcements, instructions, etc: Don't got 'em.
That's the real problem here. ALL of the mentioned manufacturers sell the repro noses, but offer none of the stuff to make them attach to the car properly. I went down this road many months ago and called every one of them and finally gave up. It's become a "shelved" project for me unless I get some good info or tips from some one who has done this install correctly themselves.

After spending 6K more than I have paid for the car I have decided that spending anymore on the 44 will be that much more further I will be away from the 911. So with that I will sell my complete (minus the small lower black trim) Turbo nose. I have the 951 shocks,alum support frame, all lights and of course the nose peice with a 95% ok paint job. And I even have the little plastic cover for the thredded tow eye in the very center of the alum support. Bidding starts at $465.

The nose is still for sell. I found out from Infinite Fiberworks that even his are to OEM specs. Replacements for wrecked 951. I really dont want to mess with it.
