Turbo/4S Front Spoiler
I just would like to ask your guys opinion on this:
<a href="http://www.schatzmotorsport.com/Merchant2/index.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=78650&Product_Code=10050549901" target="_blank">http://www.schatzmotorsport.com/Merchant2/index.mv?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=78650&Product_Code=10050549901</a>
If I get it right...this spoiler replaces the factory one making factory "regular" bumper to look like Turbo one...without actually replacing the whole bumper....and paying for whole thing.
A week ago I scratched the front bumper by road (the suspension was lowered by privious owner) (and I still learn to drive my 993)...well those scratches on bumper are not visiable when I stand but I know they are there!!
So instead ordering the factory stock spoiler I thought that one look "sexier".
I made some comparision to 993 TT photos and it looks like some of the turbo cars have different bumper...Does this spoiler I posted above look to you as a "right" one?
P.s. Sorry for long message...Is it "acceptable"/"permittable"/OK to have a front turbo looking bumper on narrow body 993 and NOT having any wing (well I still have factory one)?
Thanks!
It is Saturday and it looks like I completely wiped out all my "Monday-Till_Friday" business worries from my head substituting them by porsches upgrades. Feels good. I wish you the same <img src="graemlins/xyxwave.gif" border="0" alt="[bigbye]" />

The picture does look rather nice....however, in my very humble opinion, any spoiler/wing will somehow interupt the 993's simple, organic lines that flow like melted butter.....

I just went through a similar line of thinking on my 993 narrow body. I did go with the factory Turbo/4S bumper, and am awaiting it back from the shop now. Lots of people on the board helped me with their opinions.
However, I must stress that I went factory, and judging from the price on this one, it is not factory...likely fiberglass instead of the plastic from the factory.
My understanding is the the only way to replace the bumper is to replace the whole bumper...factory is about 1300 or so...either from Porsche or from carnewal.com (Gert is great to deal with).
Not sure that answers your question, but hope it helps.
