991 Turbo S Front Bumper Retrofit

As a alternative to the expensive noselift suspension systems, how hard would be to retrofit the 991TTS front bumper and make the front spoiler activated with the rear spoiler operation?

This has nothing to do with a wannabe or a poser mod. I'm very happy with the look of the car but sometimes it bother me scratching the front while accessing some ramps or time spent finding a decent place where i can park it.

They look to be quite different. I am sure just the mounting points and lights would be a nightmare... Did a quick Pic for comparison for you...

I'd think that KW coilovers with nose lift would be more economical than a 1 off bumper based on a dozen "what ifs"

i would try buying a couple different splitters. Thats what I am doing. you can get some decent knockoffs online that will help you decide if its worth buying a nicer one. I am finding the techart look actually scrapes a lot less if you used the same angled technique as the stock except straighten wheels a little earlier. Once i beat this one up i am gonna try a speedart look then perhaps repaint and modify this teachart one so it doesnt scrape.
