I hate to keep pestering folks but any images of the aero bumper? I am google searching myself and not sure what I am looking at. Also, can I not just put a C4 S bumper cover on? That has the Turbo look. Is my Porsche guy correct that the ducting up front will not match up or function as efficiently?

Thanks in advance for any feedback. Again, I am trying to look this stuff up myself but there is a ton of information out there and I am getting lost.

This might be more of what you are looking for. This thread includes OEM parts required to update the front end to '02+. Most significant change is the headlights, but in order to update those, you need a new bumper, fenders and headlight shelves inside the fenders. The front bumper at that point can be substituted with a turbo front bumper that you mention...

Sorry, didn't realize your car was an '03. This means that you don't need new fenders or related hardware, only the turbo bumper itself. But it's a direct swap in your case. You'll need the grills and probably the bottom supports because the Turbo bumper flares out on the bottom where it's close to the wheels. You'll also need the spoiler and attachment hardware for the bumper. The link above shows for a GT3 bumper, but the turbo bumper would need equivalent parts.
Best thing to do is search the PET catalog or get real friendly with your local dealership or Suncoast. But it is literally just a bolt-on. I would strongly suggest sticking with OEM parts as well. And document with alot of pictures the condition and severity of the accident as well as the repair for the future if you ever want to sell the car.

OK. Not looking to step on toes here, or ask someone to do a bunch of research here on my behalf. Started it on my own and got lost pretty quickly. A gajillion options and aftermarket stuff. The feedback was helpful and I appreciate it. I will join up as soon as I find out my car is not totalled and will return whatever favors I can to the folks who took the time to give me some guidance.

Sorry if I pissed anyone off.
