I have a 98 Targa. I swore that I wasn't going to mod it as its only got 20k miles and is close to as new with no mods/accidents/paint etc. HOWEVER. The slippery slope beckons and I want to do a couple of mods to individualize its appearance that are easily reversible to go back to the car's originality.

1. Lower it. I have M033 springs and am about to order the Bilstein adjustable shocks from Carnewal. I'm not interested in tightening up the suspension as its a Tip that I daily drive in LA. Don't need it for the track.

2. Wheels and tires. I have a set on order.

3. Front bumper/spoiler. I'm not in love w/ the stocker and I've seen a couple of variations and wanted to see what the options are.

So to help me can you post some pics of different options and what they are and where to order. I'm really only interested in original Porsche factory variations. Much appreciated.

Then I should be done, right????

You can go with the Euro front bumper , either NA or Turbo, can get parts from Carnewal.

I did the Euro Turbo bumper on my '96 Targa. Personally, I like the look of the Turbo bumper much better.

I do like the look of the euro turbo front bumper cover.
But I wouldn't make that swap myself. Unless I needed
to make repairs to the existing cover. However I may
be in the minorty opinion here on this issue. I would
suggest keeping all of the stock parts.

If you are going to order suspension pieces, I would personally recommend Bob Brooks (aka: ViperBob). While I really like Gert Carnewal and his service/ committment/ etc, the Euro: Dollar exchange rate really stinks right now. ViperBob also probably has better pricing to begin with, especially all the "extras" he throws in.

Haha...you wish! I used to think like that but now I have about 8-10 DIY to-do projects that I have the parts for already but have been sitting on the shelf for 2 years! And now I'm even thinking of getting a TT

Here is a photo of my recent change to the front end ( I also installed the turbo rear bumper and the side skirts). This is how the front end will look with Euro turbo front bumper, turbo splitters and turbo ducts. I like the smooth look. I got mine from Gert six months ago so I agree with others to check Viper Bob's prices.

I like the turbo bumper on white 993s.

I like the turbo bumper. You can add splitters to your original bumper cover which look great, but in my opinion you'd need to add side skirts whereas the turbo bumper looks fine with car's stock sides.

I WAS going to get the euro TT front bumper and changed my mind after I saw the picture below. This is exactly what my FB will look like when I get the time to make it to my body shop.

Whats been done to that blue cab? what did I miss besides:

lowered
bumperettes removed
Euro clear corners
splitters

I like it too and have the same color. doesnt look like it has side skirts to me?

allill

I like yours too but i dont have a WB. i was looking at the picture posted, which upon closer inspection might be a black cab......just trying to figure out the cosmetic mods there.
