Turbo S Front Spoiler on Narrow Body Bumper?
I found this photo and it looks like a Turbo S Front Spoiler on a narrow body bumper. Can anyone confirm this fits.

I also found a photo of an RS with black painted front splitters. Something I also never seen before.

Interesting look. Above is a true Turbo S. It looks to me like the spoiler lip on the NB is more flush than the one on the Turbo S on the sides. As I understand it the Turbo S spoiler lip fits over the front bumper, hence the slightly raised look. Perhaps with the removable parts of a NB front spoiler the lip can be made more flush... clearly this was some custom work. I like the look!
Upon a closer examination it looks like the sides of the spoiler lip on the NB don't turn up as much as the ones on the Turbo S. Perhaps this was a custom/tuner upgrade part?

Well, that would do the trick in my case and way cheaper than buying a turbo bumper plus another chunk of cash for the turbo s chin spoiler.
I like it and quite unique.

The bumper looks to be ROW (i.e. non-US) OEM 993 piece (no bumperettes). fogs are replaced with ducts, not the Turbo S variant that has a round driving light, and a duct, but more like the FVD duct.

This gallery link has Japanese 993's to look at. Its fun seeing how they like to mod the 993.

Ok, I'm updating this thread as per OP request of my "custom" turbo S chin spoiler for the regular Carrera front bumper.
We made a mold from the original Turbo S spoiler so I could duplicate it easily. It came out nice (not pictured) and did fit perfect in my 993tt bumper. Once I tried to fit in my Carrera bunper it wouldn't fit AT ALL. It was too wide and shaped totally different. Then the adveture begun cuting it in half, taking off material, reshaping the whole thing, almost 70-80% had to be redone.
It turned out good enough for me, far from perfect but I like it. Also is not that agressive (how much stick out the front curved lip) but the outcome is what I was expecting...
"Mother mold"
Yes! I'm missing the drain plastic things, plastic nuts for the new undertray cover I indtalled between other details so excuse me these details.

Wow! That's impressive. Is this something you did yourself?
