Congrats. It's one of my favorite mods. Loved mine, just swapped to a turbo style front bumper. But am keeping all my snub nose parts in storage in case I want to swap back.

Thanks, picked it up at Lowes in the trailer section, cost about $8, then had it powder coated. I had a steel plate cut & drilled for a backing plate and used Grade 8 mounting hardware. People tease me about having a "Nose-Ring" on my car

You been smoking some wacky tacky at school or what? LOL

Snubbed nose does look decent. Should have done it on my old 924S. Get a fiberglass rear bumper. They look better.

I have factory Euro bumpers going on my 924S, had the trim shaved & holes filled.

The only thing the NA bumper has going for it is the smaller fog lights. I hate the massive fog lights in the turbo bumper. Other than that it's turbo bumper>NA bumper hands down.

I did mine last year. I like the look. I used a fiberglass euro bumper for the rear.
