Ok so I've done a little bit of research on this but i found someone on craigslist selling a turbo style front end, which includes the front fenders and the front bumper, for $600. It sounds like a great deal because i know for a front end conversion you need the front bumper, the fenders, the nose panel, and new headlight covers. Is there anything else that I'm missing here? The front bumper that I'm looking at is aftermarket so it doesn't have mounts for the running lights or the turn signals/reflectors so that isn't a big deal for me. Would I need a new bumper mount? Thanks in advance!

nose panel, headlight covers, bumper cover, bumper bar and bumper shocks are all different. NA fenders can be modified but 951 fenders will bolt right on.

Oh ok then the bumper bar and bumper shocks? Are those easy to swap? And where would you recommend shopping for those? I've never seen them online in like used part websites so i have no idea how much they usually cost either

Black plastic headlight shrouds.

they bolt on directly. to the NA.

$600 should get you EVERYTHING you need, if the seller is not including all the parts i listed (plus those black shrouds), then you should talk down the price. i paid $450 for everything that is on my car, including fenders.

oh ok cool, well this guy bought this front end aftermarket that originally cost $1200 apparently. Here's the ad do you think it's a fair price? It's been on sale for a little while now: http://sfbay.craigslist.org/scz/cto/2794671894.html

It helps to wave it around, too!

What will you do for wider rears? Not a bad looking front end but it will commit you to a bunch more money to get rear flares.

It will not look good to just do the front of the car only in the wide body.

I did my Red 944 with a aftermarket Turbo bumper and did not have to get new fenders or modify them or get a new header panel.

Decent price, but I agree that rear flares will cost you and what wheels will you be running? Please don't say stock with 3in spacers. I also have to ask what power you will be putting down to need that wide a track? Consider the other things you will need for wider wheels too. If it's not an 87on car please convert to late offset first so you can run the better hubs with the bigger bearings.

If your na has a tuned LS V8 putting down 500hp and you plan to track it then I understand. Otherwise consider all the options.

Might be a better option to pull in your stock NA bumper a couple of inches...

I would not buy that unless you're putting it on a track that makes a lot of power.

It's clearly not made for street use since it doesn't have cutouts for turn signals. Plus fiberglass parts never fit quite right so they don't look that great. And as mentioned before you would have to widen the rear quarter panels too and such a wide stance on an NA is overkill.

You should hold out for a good complete stock 951 front end. It'll be way less of a hassle.
