Aero, Cup, or turbo bumper without side skirts??
Aero, Cup, or turbo bumper without side skirts??
Hi everyone,
Friday night I was driving home in my '99 C2 at about midnight. I was about 1/2 mile from my house and a deer ran out from the bushes on the side of the road right in front of me. I hit it with my right headlight/fender. I was doing about 35-40 MPH and luckily it was a younger doe so my car easily won the battle but still got some scars. I now have a broken headlight, some large cracks in my bumper full of deer fur, dented fender, and a broken radiator. Now my question, I am going to replace the bumper and I am not a fan of the stock bumper, it is very wimpy in my opinion. I want to put on a newer style bumper but keep the fried egg headlights. Would a C4s/Turbo/Aero/GT3 Cup bumper look out of place without having the skirts and rear to match? Does anyone have a picture they can post to help me get an idea? I found some of the C4s/turbo look bumper and it looks really good, but it is on a face lift car... I am wondering how it will look with my headlights? Thanks in advance guys and I'll try to post some pics of the damage when I can.
Here is the C4s/Turbo look on a NB

in my book, there are no shortcuts to making a car look good. the 911 needs the full aerokit treatment to look its best. putting on a c4s/turbo front bumper's already been done with the 40th anniversay by porsche with the MKII look - i think it looks awkward.
I have the Turbo bumper with the Porsche Carrera side skirts and the factory Carrera wing and I think it greatly improves the look of the car. In my opinion the front bumper without the skirts does not look right.
Yah that is what I am worried about, it looking awkward. Since I am replacing the bumper I was hoping to go with something that looks better then the stock C2 bumper that I hate. There is nothing aggressive about that bumper. Unfortunately skirts and rear are way out my price range at this point. I think the 40th looks good without the skirts but with my headlights it might add to the awkwardness and end up with a very ugly front end. Does anyone have pictures they can show me to help me out? The pics I find on the sites that are selling the bumpers either show the bumper off the car or just the front of the car with the bumper on. I cant see how it flows with the rest of the car.
