Suggestion
I have a small wrinkle and they are coming to my home to replace the piece this week, so they stand behind it as well.

Hi Don,
That looks awesome, congrats! Did you have a clear bra installed yet?
I have a "pre-nose job" >2002 Cab and some aftermarket companies are offering an aftermarket turbo nose for older 996s, but I'm hestitant to go non-factory....any opinions?
Enjoy your beautiful cab!
No, I don't have any nose "condoms" on my new nose...yet. I know I need the protection, but there are no stonegard/armourfend installers anywhere near me.
I can't really comment on other front noses like RUF or perhaps TechArt...but I assume they're well made and accepted as legitimate modifications....probably much cheaper as well.
Don, I just drove to Rye NY, the home of Armourfend and had the complete treatment done to my C2. It looks really great on the silver type colors. It shows much less (the film line) then on my Royal red (dark) M-5. Looks great here also, and has really saved the paint job from lots of dings. I was in and out in about 4 hours, (they do a lot of Porsche cars) and since this is their home US office, its where they train the new installers so they have "adult" supervision. If they are not training you get the instructor to install. I've had both, and both are excellent.
One thing to consider is their ability to mix cars, ie. turbo nose, regular rear end. They have lots of templates.
Joe Kane, Jr is the guy I talk to. He's the owner. [phone removed]
Dom4471, I think I forgot to answer you on cost of Turbo nose. My total was $1600 for the nose, re-paint and assembly. I just don't know if that's typical. Certainly not if you have to buy a Turbo nose in white out of a catalog.
Don,
I had Chambers in Boston do a clear treatment called "autobahn" on my new turbo. The company is somewhere in MA. and comes to the dealer to do the application. It was $695.00 for the complete car. The install included the full nose, bonnet, fender lips, mirrors, below gas cap, sides of headlight, etc. Very good and complete coverage of the front end nose piece. I have a small wrinkle and they are coming to my home to replace the piece this week, so they stand behind it as well.
