I got the bumper from Weissach for $2300 and got it painted for $400.00. Installing it was easy since the bumper kit came with everything.

The only thing I didn't like is the transition from the bumper to the side skirt. Maybe the MKII side skirt will look better.

You can always put a Turbo front bumper on your car. IMO, make sure you spray the bottom lip to match the same color as your car. For a picture, just look at any stock 996 turbo front.

Interesting- I had no idea that the Turbo front fit the narrow body cars...

Yes, it will. You just have to cut a bit of the metal rod that blocks the front and also get the turbo "eyelids". I was one of the first ones to do so and I didn't get a good welcoming from 6speed or Rennlist. And now look at some people's cars........ Now the rear bumper doesn't fit as well as it should, but is possible. Just need to adjust the exhaust piping. They've both been done with no problems at all and just a bit of slight modding.
