It isn't mine, but I happened to see THIS on eBay. It doesn't include the clear corners, but the starting price is reasonable for new OEM item.

RallyJon

Don't know about this in particular, but a lot of what DPS puts on Ebay is just regular inventory that they're happy to sell you off Ebay for the same price.

993_Pilot,

What does it mean thet it doesn't include the clear corners. It's my understanding that you have to buy them and thay should fit. Rigth?

993_Pilot

Yes, they will fit. I just said that because Gert sells the bumper as a kit with the clear corners.

You are probably right on this item as well, it just seemed like a good price, so I posted the link.

+1 on what Rally John said. Its really not being offered at a good discount.

993_Pilot

I can't see it on the DPS website, but Gert wants about 1,295 Euro ($1763.00 USD), but admittedly his kit includes the clear corners too. That seems like a decent discount to me.

FLA997

I apologize, that IS a decent discount for a front bumper. I was making the assumption that it was a rear Euro bumper ( I didnt read your post thoroughly) and (of which I just purchased not too long ago) and was comparing the prices of the the one you show listed and the price I paid for a new one. My bad!

Doesn't appear that much cheaper than advertised on the Pelican Website.

Do you mean this one ???...

993-505-311-02-G2X-OEM
Front Bumper Cover, (European Version), 911 Turbo (1995-98), Each $1683.50
Brand: Genuine Porsche

I've gotta say, $1150 still seems like a much better deal to me.

Bottom line is that I am not here to argue about it, I just thought that I would pass this on to my fellow rennlisters. If you aren't in the market or don't like the deal, don't bid on it. If you actually know of a much better deal, then pass it on. It is that simple.

I purchased my euro turbo front bumper from DPS for the same price. They gave me a good price on the clear front lights and also the turbo S ducts.

Good service and quick delivery too.

BTW, no affiliation, etc. etc.......

RallyJon

If anyone has done the conversion, does the DPS offering look like it's complete? (other than lights)

Or are there a bunch of fasteners and grills and seals you also need?

You're absolutely right!
I take it back - I was looking in the Part Diagram Section and did not realize it was the US version.
This eBay listing even includes the grill inserts.
I'm in the market and may consider bidding on it.
Always post of such deals even if the result is a fun debate.....

So which is less expensive?

- Changing the front bumper to euro
or
- Body shop fill/ plastic weld bumperette

SC2993

The package includes the bumper and the black grille, but not the fasteners and body molding. One would need those items to complete the install, DPS has all the items required.

I had my bumper sprayed and installed at a local body shop and they had all the items, they installed the lights and turbo S ducts for me. I think the charge for the body molding was about $100.00 or so.
