According to their print catalog, it is on sale for $100 cheaper than what is says here on the website. You may want to call them to order.

If you already bought the fiberworks nose from Ian, you may be stuck with it though. Better check.

GT-Racing.com has them but on top of about 450+shipping theres another 800 in lights plus 300 in 951 bumper inforcement parts. By the time you are done doing it right you are at about 1500+ in parts plus what ever it cost for you to install. When you said turbo bumper people thought you were doing that conversion.

Or, you can do it the way I did. Spend $350 for the nose on sale. Buy the lights and turnsignals used from a fellow rennlister parting out his car for $100 (well, I got the rear valance and these lights for $200 2 years ago, so I figured they were half of the $200 purchase price). Source the bumper re-inforcement and shocks for $125 from another fellow renlister (this is what took the long amount of time). Total price without paint and various little bolts = $575. My time is free.............

EDIT: No, Ian doesn't post here but he does follow some threads and gets a fair amount of business from this forum. Most people, except me, have had good experiences with him.

Plus there is only a handfull of 951's so there is only so many they part out. Finding parts at a deal is hard but doable as tifosiman shows. It's really how bad you want a turbo front and the price u are willing to pay to get it.

Robby,

What did you do to re-inforce your 951 bumper? Same as I sm currently doing with a modified 951 support? Or did you get a real 951 bumper and all needed parts (fenders, bracket and shocks, header, headlight covers, and plastic headlight bezels)?

well my system was redone twice the guy that I bought the car from did I real turbo converson but really bad(Minus the real headlight and nose pices by cutting the fenders and bumper to fit not a thing you want to do on your own like he did) . Fortunately I got the old fenders with the car and to make a long story short I bought an N/A fit front 2 times(I did not realize he used the real turbo front till after I got the first N/A fit bumper) and just used the turbo bumper support and really worked to get the fake turbo bumper on. Its hard but possible actually the fake turbo bumper is a little bigger at the top then the real so the supports fit for me but I have seen many turbo N/A fit bumpers and they all seem to be different.
