Clearly I'm biased but I prefer the subtlety of #4. It's actually a functional mod and not so "boy racer" as to detract from the overall balance of the original... IMHO.

number one, plus the bonnet !

cool air is good, but I know the 68's have problem with the AFM, when you dont use the stock air filter, so I'd say, check first, more air cooling can also cause different airflow, turbulance.

I got a big Q. Say i want to convert my Project 944(my old bumper is trash)
car to the Carrera GT bumper. What Is the complete list of parts needed??
Are the yellow turn signals different of CArrera GT from those on the Us spec 944 NA??? Where to get all those euro mini rubber bumpers? I'm only interested in this as it can save me some weight+better air dynamics.

What does one have to do to 'push-in' the bumper for the pushed-in bumper mod? I think i may just try that...

JediAgent, drill the front bumper shocks so the fluid will come out, push in, voila I'm still wondering how this mod reacts to sudden stops

IIRC, you remove the front bumper and shocks, drill a hole in the shocks and collapse them. It might be easier to reassemle everything before you push them in, I'm not sure...

Could you drill it all the way throu and put a pin throu the hole after collapsing it? Im not sure how the inner part of those shocks (or any shocks for that matter) work, other than hydraulically.
