Something happened at Barber. It's just zip tied on while a new RS bumper comes in. This one runs in PCA as an RS, has a Peter Dawe 3.8L screamer in it.

I prefer the white one behind the maroon car.

You can't always tell from the front since many people swap the NB front bumper for the Turbo bumper, but if you can see the sides then the lower rocker panels are a dead giveaway. From the back the only reliable way is to look at the shape of the lower part of the rear bumper...you can't count on the presence of a spoiler or the shape of the grills as indicators as those are fairly easy swap mods but it's a lot of work to fit a WB rear bumper onto a NB car.

Gotcha. Is this the going rate for a car like this? How much more would you expect to pay for one that was a race car only, meaning... full cage, AIM system, fire system, fuel shut offs, and a 3.8?

Car does still look good ....

Can't help u there, have no idea - maybe some of the track guys like Mark, Race911 or Eric will chime in.

Back in late 05, this car had and asking price of 40k. The price was too close to WB money for me to bite. Now if I had track intentions I would of been all over it.

993 GT2's, clone or not, are really cool.

A slight highjack here, but where is the best place to pick up a turbo front bumper for my NB?

New? Sunset for OEM, probably. Right next door to you. Bumper is around $1100, plus the inner fenders are different.
