I need to replace the front bumper on my NB 993 and I would like to get something different from factory, but something that is also tasteful and not "body kit" looking. I was considering the RUF CTR2 front but decided it wouldn't look right. Are there any good options out there for this?

Consider keeping the standard narrow-body cover with the GT-2, Clubsport, or Aero lower sections.

A minor change that is reversible at no cost.

Available from several suppliers including Porsche (expensive), Getty, Techart, or Carnewell.
Do not consider Duraflex, quality is really shockingly bad.

Just get the Turbo ROW bumper cover from Gert. No bumperettes, factory part, perfect fit and looks fantastic. It’s what the car should have come with from the factory.

Search my posts for a complete listing of parts and pieces needed or pm me. You’ll need new fender liners - forward only for RH and LH.

You will need new wheel liners if you use the Gert front cover which is a euro "S" bumper cover....

Great list!

Cheaper than buying an "S" car....

There's a small amount of damage from previous owners, so I wanted to replace the whole thing clean sheet.

So if I go with something other than factory(ish) I'm going to have to replace 25+ small parts?

What is this Gert I keep seeing, I googled it but couldn't find anything?

Gert is Carnewal

I vote for Euro turbo bumper as well. Gert can sell you it without this entire kit. Didn't see it listed on his site.
You'll need the euro turn signals and grille though. You can use your fog lights. if you want to replace the fogs with turbo s ducts.
Buy the entire kit.

That’s my list of hardware and attaching parts needed with the Euro changeover. It’s not a Gert kit.

Admittedly a bit of overkill but some parts are essential and some hardware is so punky and corroded after 25 years why not replace?

OP will need the turbo fender liners. Front only LH and RH as mentioned. Old ones don’t mate with the new Euro bumper.

Also if OP’s car is ROW ride height have Gert provide a FPB. Good time to fit it.

The conversion to Euro is straightforward enough but there are some tricks to it and parts and pieces you’ll need. For instance changing the ballast resistors while your in there and replacing the foam pieces that fell apart 20 years ago for the AC and oil cooler heat exchangers.

Is there a reputable place in the states where I could purchase the bumper cover?

Email Sunset Imports the parts list. They'll send it back with a price breakdown.
