Bob, I thinks he wants to use a splitter for the stock turbo bumper, for this the only one that I know of is the FVD splitter, I might be wrong thou., cheers, Sonny.

I wouldn't be opposed to swapping bumpers but the thing is I had my bumperetts removed and that would have to be redone to.

I'm wondering if the NB intake would restrict airflow to the oil coolers etc. May go to the GT2 front or anything that improves aero here as well.

Also..........the TT S front I ordered and got from Gert, in genuine Porsche boxes, (Thanks Gert), are not f/glass....they are that bendy plastic stuff that deforms on impact up to a certain speed.....I think it was invented for you guys in SoCal for your Nader crash days? The GT2 front I have is the same bendy twisty stuff but it is in that most magic of all colors....Midnite Blue! I wondered if I might re-fit it some day, but I dont want to.....I really love the TT S front!
Thanks again and hope everyone had a happy new year

The turbo front PU is from the bendy and twisty stuff but my factory fitted Turbo S front spoiler that is grafted onto the lower half of the PU is definately fiberglass as is the OEM spare in it's factory box (part number 993 505 982 00) I have in my garage...

Tim,

For a paltry $2500 or so, you can pick up a Ruf CTR front bumper/spoiler for your car. I may know where there is a used on in black, but in perfect condition.
