Default Where do you get Turbo bumpers

Besides the dealers, and the usual suspects on ebay, where can I get a front Turbo bumper? Carnewal has an aero package, which is way too much for me.
Any input is appreciated.
thanks
Ron

Ron,

Gert will get you just the bumpers (I think) - have you asked him? I had pricing on just bumpers some time ago from him.

Cheers,

Rick

Gert has them listed on his site- first item in the 993 portion of "exterior" section. Includes grill, turn signals and seals. 1300 Euros. If you're upgrading from the standard bumper (non-Turbo), you'll also need the front half of the wheel well liner on each side (~$45 each from Sunset).

Thx Jim re. the wheel well liner.
To everyone else, having looked at this issue myself for the past year, there are 3 options:
1. Buy an aftermarket turbo front bumper in either fiberglass or carbonfibre and take your chances on fit, finish, and post-paint appearance.
2. Buy a used turbo bumper that is very likely missing parts (grill, signals, hardware) and/or cracked.
3. Suck it up and buy from Gert or Sunset.
I'm going with option #3.

I purchased mine from DPS Motorsports in Agoura Hills CA. They have the lights too. Quck delivery and a very fair price IMHO. They advertise in Excellence, some of you SoCal guys might know them.

No affiliation, etc. etc.........

I paid $1295.00 for a Euro Turbo Bumper from DPS Motorsports. The price did not include delivery of about $45.00. The lights and turbo ducts were extra, aslo purchased from DPS.
