Okay before the flames start, I'm looking specifically for the polyurethane Aero kit 1 front bumper. I've seen plenty of places with the fiberglass or cf and then the rest don't specify. Can someone tell me who carries the poly version?

I'm also looking for the Aero kit 2 rear spoiler as far as I can tell it only comes in fiberglass. Has anyone had any fitment issues with this version? Aren't the factory deck lids metal?

Thanks,
Nazz

 

Nazz,

The only polyurethane front bumpers that I found are from Porsche and RUF. Most aftermarket kits are made of fiberglass or some sort of fiber reinforced plastic (sort of like a mache).

The factory Aerokit 2 rear spoiler is made of fiberglass. The stock decklid is metal. Depending on the rear spoiler you get, it may be just a bolt-on replacing the existing (stock, speed activated) fiberglass rear spoiler and using the same decklid. Other rear spoilers require that you replace the decklid as well.

 

Sorry for my miswording. I meant to ask if the factory GT3 rear spoilers were metal, not the rear decklid. But you answered my question anyway.

Bummer on the front bumper. I really don't want a fiberglass front spoiler, nor do I want to spend several thousand dollars for the factory front bumper. Maybe I can find a used one instead.

Thanks for the info.

 

Nazz,

Check out LA Porsche Dismantlers. They sell a lot of parts and project cars. They have some GT3 style bumpers.

 

used on ebay or new from Hendricks 800 315 8193

 

I am waiting for a source in CA to finish molding (fiberglass) a Techart Type1 style front bumper to fit 99-01.

He quoted me for 1K...this was about 3 months ago....

 

Hey! I the exact same bumper that programmatore post on my 2000 c4 cabriolet. It came from the factory and it's coming off today. I brought a t/t bumper and will have it installed by this Thursday. I'm interested in selling the old bumper, only the front bumper. It is painted black right now. Pm, me if anyone is interested.

 

Wow, programmatore. That's a very interesting site, LA Porsche Dismantlers. Some food for thought there but do you know anyone who has ordered from them?

 

LA Porsche Dismantlers is a good company... ask for Ken.. they stand behind everything they sell with a guarantee... if anyone wants a twin turbo front bumper for their pre 02, i'd recomend nrauto... the other twin turbo front bumpers, aren't exact replicates... like better bodies, anzios, etc.. they don't have the bottom black piece.. with the two air inlets, like nrauto does... i know this looks bad.. (it's all I have) here's a picture of my 99 cab with the nrauto twin turbo front bumper and headlight covers... with both of these combos, it looks really good.. people can't even tell it's a 99.. i also have the porsche factory black vertical parts for all 3 vents on the bumper... which is another $300, but well worth it.. looks much better than some cheezy mesh.. or even worse left open with nothing.. in these pics you can't see the bottom black piece below the bumper with the two air inlets, but rest assured it is there :>

(and yes i know the paint doesn't match very well in the pic, i had it repainted to match much better recently..)

 

why you can't use your stock inlets with the nr turbo bumper?

 

the twin turbo/c4s/40th ann edition front bumper, as you know, is completely different than all others.. the one from nr auto has holes for the 3 vertical black parts, where the oem part from the factory slips right in... (it also helps to prevent pigeons and other various rodents from falling into that area while driving <g>)

 

Right I am familiar and thought the same hence no need for the different intakes- cool

 

Are the factory front bumpers that are polyurethane are they black or white out of the box?

 

They come with white primer ready to paint.

 

Thanks.
