Can any one tell me where I can get a lower front bumper spoiler for a 1996-1997

They do look nice indeed. Keep in mind that they do not work that well with the FPB, beacause it sits lower and further out. Gert is a great source for these kind of things. www.carnewal.be. Maybe there's someplace else to shop for parts like this on your side of the pond though.. Good luck

Front Protection Bar? Gert sells this doodad which screws in under the front bumper with stock mounting holes. It is about 1/2" below the bumper and is designed to scrape driveways, leaving the bumper unharmed!

Barney if you do a search on "turbo chin spoiler" or "turbo s chin spoiler" you will get lots of useful threads. I seem to remember that the consensus was to go with OEM on the chin spoiler because of where it is located it is permanently subject to scraping, dents and other kind of damage when entering and exiting driveways etc. Some ppl tried aftermarket parts but they just didn't hold up very good after one or more years of damage. Its a really nice upgrade and this is only IMHO. I would go with OEM. Btw, I saw your car in an older thread and all I can say is WOW. I really like the color. There's a 993 cab in the same color in my neighbourhood and the color looks even better in person. Good luck with your choice of chin spoiler.

Not fiberglass. Got mine from Viper Bob. I think it was less than others are quoting.
