Default About 993 RS front bumper

Is the RS/tbo front bumper same as in normal Carrera, but with air duct holes and splitters underneath ? Is it lighter or any other possible differences ?

I believe the RS and the normal narrow body Carrera use the same front bumper. The Turbo bumper is different.

Correct, RS bumper is narrowbody front bumper with splitters. According parts cat no difference in partnumber so weight is the same. And not all RS's had ducts, some were delivered with normal fog lights.

NB & RS front same(styling diff) as Scott stated. Turbo bumper/WB has different config but also can be fitted to NB as well.
Duct holes you're referring to has many variations (SEARCH!)... Turbo S ducts is many of us here use/adopted due to best combo looks/cost.(OEM vs Copy-good ones)
TechArt brake duct -some uses for nice styling and functinal for cooling brakes but few actually has them setup due to high cost($600+)
Others uses just the duct version without lights or piping hoses to brakes for cost and easy mods to do and favorite among track junkies/racers.
Hope that helps.

Splitters are made for Porsche by TechArt with a Porsche part number
Actual RS splitters have the crease on the sides then there are the aerokit splitters that are smooth and look a little less aggressive
Bumper is stock NB without bumperettes

You can't use RS RS/CS or stock splitters w/ a turbo bumper.

The turbo bumper is a one piece design w/ just a small 1 piece filler strip.

The stock bumper is basically 3 pieces, the main cover and 2 lower corners

The RS is like the stock w/ 3 little extra chin pieces

The RS/CS uses the same main cover as the stock and RS w/ different lower corners and a more prominent lower center section w/ a small filler piece

You have pictured a 993 RS Club Sport lower valance and left and right splitters. It is recommended by many, for those that add this set up, you need to compliment the front splitters/spoiler with a rear tail. The 993 RS Club Sport tail is the one I added.

For some reason I can't seem to upload a pic to this string..search Google images for 993 RS Club Sport...you'll see the tail.
