Lightbulb 944 Turbo Front Bumper Conversion

I have a 1987 n/a and I want it to look like a turbo. Performance products makes a turbo front bumper conversion. Has anybody bought this. Does anybody know of other places selling front bumper conversions.

GT racing has a bumper, which is probably what performance sells.

I have front bumper cover, bumper support, header panel, light covers, passenger fender.
The only things you'd need are lights and drivers fender.
PM me if interested.

I've heard on this board that there's dimensional diffs about the Performance products version that give it away as a "conversion", it was enough to put me off.

I think the only way to do it correctly is to buy turbo fenders, header, bumper cover, light covers etc.

Or go for a diff look and get something from gt racing.

do a search this had been beat to death. Alittle bending/triming on the factory fenders and a new nosepanel/bumper/support/covers and you have a turbo.

For a lot less effort, I'd consider fitting a Euro front bumper. Resale value would be a bit better, too.
