It is a stock euro turbo bumper, with MA Shaw turbos ducts and fog lights, and euro clear corner lenses. All are available from lots of sources. I got the ducts and corners from a local shop, and the bumper from Sunset. I think back then it was around $1200 for the bumper. Oh and I had the front license plate holes filled before they painted it because we don't run front plates here.

$85 for local pickup

This is the ultimate pad with the foil backing in the pictures. The installation difference with this pad is it is virtually impossible to push the pins through for the round clips.
Alex brought along some leather punches that work well.
After lining up your top ones first, work your way back. You can mark each pin by feel and a sharp probe then put a thin block of wood behind it and punch a hole through. Work your way to the bottom (keep track of the # of pins.) Then glue it on with the 3m spray or similar.
One picture shows the two tone of the pad, rubber and felt . I painted my forward edge black . This pad looks bulletproof.

You also might want to trim the leading edge of the foil backing back a bit with some scissors as it tends to stick out a bit. If you want a clean edge.

That pad looks sure pretty! When my engine goes out - that goes in!

I wonder how much heat/noise is transmitted into the cabin if this pad is left out? The car would also be louder from the outside I guess (guitarbox) .

I just picked up a new "engine compartment sound absorber" pad from my local Porsche dealer. Part number: 993 556 281 00.

Sorry to report but the new pad from Porsche uses a very light density foam and does not have the semi-hard layer of vinyl-rubber that the original pad had. The original pad also used a heavier density foam.

Even discounted, the new original pad from Porsche is not worth it in my opinion.

You are far better off using a pad as shown in post #11 (or similar) in this thread; cheaper and of far better quality.

Maybe the lighter pad will stay attached better though, all the factory ones seem to drop to some extent over the years

One of the German guys has done a nice ending of the engine wall sound proofing.

Look at the tired picture without then after installment of the "leiste" forgot the eng word ...
oups but look at last picture and you get it

I plan on using 3M spray adhesive or better yet a thin strip of stainless steel encased in black heat shrink similar to that trim/bar shown in that photo in the post above. Those who have a drooping pad can use the latter method for now.

That cleans it up nicely and looks like it would certainly delay the inevitable. Do you know a source?

Just get a strip of stainless steel the width of the retaining buttons and a length as needed. Drill or punch out the holes where required. Either paint it satin-black or cover it with black heat shrink.

Good idea ^ thanks.

Boy that looks good! I would love to know what he used and where it came from.

I remember seeing that DIY fix-it post a few years ago. He just made it himself out of thin sheet metal and formed the lip on the rear most edge. I thought of doing it at some point but if I do it would be in conjunction with a new pad. Still not sure if I even want to put one back in. Any thoughts or experience W/O it in?
