I personally think it looks clean the way it is, side skirt no necessary, but that's just me.

The best part is that if a panel gets scuffed or needs to be replaced, there is no color matching.
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.

Thanks again for the bumper - it worked out great!
Hello all,
Wanted to share a pic of my car (996 C4 NB) that recently had the Turbo front bumper added this weekend in case anyone was thinking of this mod. It was pretty straightforward with respect to install. I am very pleased with the outcome...
Thanks everyone for the comments. The car is wrapped frozen sky blue. The bumper itself is OEM and I got it complete which was a great find. I am trying to figure out which side skirts pair nicely with a turbo bumper. Since I am not wide like a turbo in the rear I assume that I will have to have aftermarket ones. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
Looks great!! Would you mind sharing a rough idea of what the wrap cost? Also what do the door jambs look like? Are they the original color or are you able to wrap those, too?
-Eric
The color underneath is Lapis Blue and still in great shape. I've been a modder since '91 and I always try to be somewhat unique and not over the top. I am very happy with how this project is turning out...
A wrap similar to this is around 3-3,500 Canadian depending on what you would like to do to it - ie. accents in different colors etc... The complete car can be wrapped. I did not wrap my door jams yet however that is on the project list. It actually contrasts nice with the Lapis blue in my door jams.
Hey Norm!! Nice to see that you are on here as well. I have been on Rennlist since last year however more of a reader vs. a poster. Thanks again for the bumper - it worked out great!
As much as I think wraps are sort of sleezy, I imagine it has to me pretty low maintenance. You can park the car in the sun without worrying about clearcoat failure, right? That would be great in FL.
Yes the wrap has really impressed me. I drove it this past winter as well and it takes a few times in the messy stuff to get dirty. It does not swirl at all like paint so it looks new all the time. The best part is that if a panel gets scuffed or needs to be replaced, there is no color matching. If the wrap is done correctly from the beginning it looks like it was painted as many people ask me that at meets and cruises.
So what's needed for turbo bumper swap? I have OEM aero bumper that needs painted. There's a local guy selling a turbo bumper and just not sure exactly what's needed to make it fit (other than the bumper cover itself). Any help appreciated!
Razkal, outside of the bumper cover and lower lip, did you need any other parts to install this bumper?
ie ducts, etc etc
I know you need to trim the aluminum bumper structure under the cover but any other parts required?
I did not do any trimming on the aluminum bar, I sprayed it black on the ends so that it did not show through. Other than that, I bought the bumper complete and there were no other real modifications that we had to do except for remove the side marker brackets from my carrera bumper and install them onto the turbo one.
ok for my clarity, when you say you bought the bumper complete that included:
- bumper cover (obvious)
- Lower lip spoiler
- 3 opening/grille covers
anything else?
No, that is all that I needed with mine. I had to just take the tow hook cover from my carrera bumper and side marker brackets and they fit no problem. My turbo bumper was only missing the tow cover.
