Default IFC Front End - Feedback Please

Considering replacing the euro bumper, US lower valence and Foha Lip Spoiler I have on my 944. Here's the current configuration:



In the long list of planned mods I wanted to install a 924 CGT front end / bumper / spoiler / valence. Considering the IFC piece described as their "Wide Body Nose". It has the same general features as a CGT front but slightly updated:



I recall someone had that pic as an avatar here on their LS conversion.



IFC states on the product page that it fits both their wide body kits and stock 944 front fenders:

Any input or feedback is appreciated. Thanks!

Current look is 10x better than Ifc
If you really want to improve it however get a euro lower valance without fog and side lights.

Local (also in MD) Dibs on the whole front end if you decide you want to switch it up and don't want to ship everything

Why would you swap factory made quality for that IFC pos. Most of the FG stuff they make for our cars is only suitable for race cars, where fit and looks don't really matter, so they make them cheap and they need work to fit right.

You probably know by now, judging by the number of vultures wanting to buy you current set-up, that what you have there is very desirable.

The euro front end looks great. The only front end I would say would be better, the factory 924 GT / GTS front end. I understand the desire to have the 924 GTS look, but the fibgerglass will not fit as well as the factory stuff.

LOL

And I backspaced the part of my reply where I said that you could tell from the circling buzzards just waiting to pick up the pieces...

It's a good visual but I didn't want anyone here to interpret that as an insult. Hell, I'd do the same thing.

Admiralkhole on here has a CGT look bumper on his v8 swap. Is that what you were referring to?

Sam, I've always loved the look of your car but I just noticed part of what makes it look so good is that you have a euro front bumper cover. Very Nice.

Your current setup looks great.

As already mentioned, that is probably every NA-owner's dream front end: 931 header vents, Euro bumper, Foha lip.

Besides, on a more practical standpoint: Does the IFC piece fit over a 951 bumper? Otherwise you'd lose an impact bumper; I'd rather have a bumper of some sort.

I disagree, but that's irrelevant.
