A few people have one of these bumpers and supposedly like them quite a bit.

Hey Man, I got mine from:

http://www.944online.com/cgi-bin/ASI...y_1140213642++

It may cost a bit more than texas but it was complete, excellent quality, perfect fit and finish and no problems. If you are in the North Jersey area you can check it out and see for yourself. Some pics below:

Reno,

I'm In West Orange, but the car is currently at R.O.C.S auto in Belleville. I will be stopping by the shop on Sat around noon or I can call the owner if you wanna drop by during the week. I work in midtown so its tough during the week for me. R.O.C.S. is an awesome place BTW, excellent Porsche shop.

So, the 944online one isn't FG? The pictures aren't that great and it says they're all original. Urethane?

Yes the 944 one is that heavy duty Urethane I believe. The biggest decision for me was to go with the Turbo strip which is wider rather than the narrower N/A strip which is about $200 less. Im glad I went with the turbo strip. It even has the plug for a tow eye, but I guess it should since it is a factory bumper
