Question Front bumper question

Does anyone know if a 01 twin turbo front bumper will fit on my 03 cab NA? I think it will but I wanted to check.
Thanks in advance.

yep. just make sure it's not one of the 01's with the bumperettes on the front. i did the conversion on my 02 cab with an 02 bumper.

Why don't I want one with bumperettes? I see the yellow porsche does not have them. Is it just the look is non perferred?

I see. Buy the way, yours looks great. Is it OEM ar aftermarket? Is there a big difference in price? Are the after market items from say MaShaw up to spec.

mine is oem. if your car is 02 or newer, you can go with 2001 or newer oem turbo bumper. you can get a pretty good bargain on used turbo bumpers as many turbos on here have put techart on theirs. try and get a C4S bumper with a turbo lip if you can. It's the same bumper, just the C4S has a better center grill for those with no third radiator as it covers the hole. like i posted before, i have a set of turbo air ducts for sale if you need them for your conversion. not required, but a lot of people do it for a better look.

check out this auction on ebay. it comes with the bumperettes, which you definately do not want. if you try to use it you will have to fill the holes where they mount. just easier to find a later model 01 without them or an 02.

Yes, I saw this one on ebay. That is what prompted the question. Thanks for the info. I'll see if I can find a c4s on or a newer tt bumper. I'll keep in mind the pieces you have for sale if I find a tt bumper.
