Turbo Look front bumper
Does anyone here have any experience with the PerformanceProducts.com Turbo Bumper conversion piece that they sell? I have an 88 944S which needs a front facelift. The front valence is rather crooked and has a tear in the lip under the passenger head light. It's had some sort of front end collision at one point and when repairing it they shaved the NA bumper clean which just looks wrong to me. So I'm thinking that rather than try and buy a new front NA valence that I might get this Turbo look bumper and valence piece which I think will run me about the same price. Anyone have any feedback? Other than why make an NA look like a turbo of course?
Much thanks in advance.

I prefer the Fiber werks front end ra5ther than trying to make it look like a turbo. But it is your call. <a href="http://www.fiberwerks.com." target="_blank">www.fiberwerks.com.</a> Just my .02 <img src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />

That is a pretty nice kit, but since I don't have the stock NA fog lights either and I just bought a set of the turbo fog/driving lights and it'd be a shame to have to resell them.
Thanks for the link though. Do you have a ny pics of your car with that front end on it? I'd like to see them.

Matt want to buy a bumper in that case? I already picked up an NA 944 bumper for the swap which I may not be using. I can get you some pics if you're interested. Although if you don't have the car yet, I'm guessing you're not in a hurry to pick up the bumper...
I did find some good stuff on the gt-racing site unfortunately they're out of town until next week so I'll have to try back to get more info.

personally,
i think the aftermarket turbo bumper looks better than the factory bumper.. if you can get it to lign up and look clean, the nose panel on the NA is shorter and the bumper sticks out more, so it gives it an overall more agressive look..
