Custom front bumper work
Ok so what I'm doing now is really custom but Im not going to put the old bumper back on. What I'm going to do is paint all that red that was behind the bumper black and I was going to get a bunch of little steel rods and make a grill for the front of it. I painted the back of it and it looks pretty sweet as it is but when I'm done the grill is oing to look a little bit Like a Cayenne. will you keep you posted. this will be my winter project. This and springs.

What year 944? I'm interested to see, doing the wolf mod on mine now. But do you really want to roll without ANY kind of front bumper???

I have an 84. Yea I thought that but i'm working on getting a second car hopfully a 924 for a DD and I have the basic design in my head but I'm just trying to figure out a way to make it a little safer. Worst comes to worst just need to be more carful.

I'd say you'd have to weld up a bumper bar to go behind the grill, mount it to the original shocks or maybe euro bumper mounts would be a better fit.
I've seen this done with chicken wire around my parts, definitely not a fan of that.

TPC nose glued right over the factory front bumper with the bracket dims I posted.
Get rid of those funky corner signals.....
They even work on the back bumper mod....got rid of alot of pounds....
Doing something trick and will float the rear valence where there are no seams between it and rear quarter.....
