Suggestion · Original poster
At first, it seemed like a good way to get a very clean, low miles (9k) car and then just replace the front with a stock TT/4S bumper.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Really like the rest of the car. The front bumper, not so much. Kinda ricer or no? Also, does anybody know this car? It's in CA.

There are so many riced out Porsches on this forum, I'm surprised you'd even ask here. I think the rest of the car looks alright, the front bumper isn't much trouble to replace if you like the car enough...
Reminds me of a time a few years ago at a party when a girl came up to me and a friend (we both had our stock M3's parked in the driveway) and asked us if we had matching body kits on our cars. He paused for a minute, and said "yeah I guess so", in a way he was right. Made me chuckle. Get whatever YOU like.

Actually I think it looks great, although aerokits aren't really my thing (see avatar).
Do you know which manufacturer is that bumper and aerokit?
My biggest issue with it would be clearance on driveway/entrance ramps.
Watch out for anything low in your path. That is more than likely fiberglass which is not very tolerant of flex or impacts. But, as mentioned above, replacing it with another bumper is *very* simple to do.
With a nice car like a Carrera, it's a fine line between overly focusing on how mods look (and how you may look in it) versus how the mods actually affect driving experience. For that reason, I prefer to err on the side of stock, but the previous owner of the car you are looking at did not. Ultimately, do you like its looks or not? If you are hesitating in some ways (and your post suggests you are), then listen to your gut; there are many other 911's out there that will fit the bill.

Rear "turbo-look" bumper doesn't fit too well either. Look at the way it doesn't line up with the wheel opening. I agree with the others; it's probably a fiberglass aerokit...one good speed bump or steep driveway and there will be tears.
There are?
The bumper is somewhat ugly. To me rice is more than just cosmetic pieces that add weight and no power, it is a state of mind. vroom vroom!!
It looks like the basketball version of a Zamboni. After basketball practice is over, they drive this around the court to scoop up all of the basketballs.
Over the top for me, Don't like the front, or the rear bumper and wing. But if it's your thing go for it. However find out what the body kit is made of (fiberglass, urethane, etc.) and who did the install, paint, etc. So you don't end up with cracking and chipping in the future.
Words like "front-end loader" and "Jimmy Durante" come to mind when I look at it. Yuck!
Oh....and by the way, for me it would definitely be a deal killer.
I have the perfect bumper for you if you buy the car. A Gemballa GT 650 TT painted.....Artic silver.
And yea that is a FUGLY front end..............got rice.

If I use the same code, it just puts a link up.
Can anyone tell me what the code in the original thread to have the attachment show?

Nope. There are so many on the market, it would be worth it to wait. Are there extensive mods to the engine and suspension too? If so, dig deep for details. The body not fitting your tastes may be the least of your concerns.
It is a deal killer if the deal expects you to pay extra for what they did to it. In other words, if you can get a non aero and add an aero kit that you like to it for the price of this one, then walk away from this one.
Oh and I do not like the bumper either. What is that on the very bottom corner of the bumper, looks like a little light.
And if it is made out of fiberglass definately walk away.
If everything else is clean to you, I'd offer the market price for the car, less the cost of sending that bumper back to Hell and replacing it with what others have suggested.
Thanks for the advice everyone. I have decided to pass. At first, it seemed like a good way to get a very clean, low miles (9k) car and then just replace the front with a stock TT/4S bumper. But then I noticed the rear bumper is almost as offensive! You can't tell in the pics here, but there are additional vents below the license area which look really cheesy.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
