Another Turbo Bumper Conversion - TK's Old Bumper
 

I've been looking to do something to the front of the CS for a while and could not find anything aftermarket that I liked as much as the OEM Turbo bumper. It just looks so much more aggressive than the S, so when I saw Ben @Wheelboutique list a complete front bumper and hood for sale down here in Miami, I jumped on it.

I picked the car up from the body shop today. They did a great job and took care of all the details very well including filling in the parking sensor holes. You can't even tell they were ever there...

(This was the bumper and hood off TK's white Cayenne before they did the full Techart swap. My wife joked that we should get him to sign it :D )

Here is what it looked like before the swap for comparison...

It looks way better now. What body kit did you had on your Supra?

Thank you.

It was just the RMM front lip and RMM rear wing with carbon center on the Supra. It was dropped on Tein coilovers with 19" HRE 847R's.

(I miss it, but based on my current needs, the M5 just made more sense)

Agree, it looks way more aggressive. Good choice of wheels too.

very nice - i have never seen that colour in person - only on the web.

VERY NICE!!!!!

I have the same colour on my CS and that's what I want to do also, Turbo front spoiler & hood, rear lower turbo valance & exhaust tips.


ps. what wheels you have? do you have any suspension mods?

Thank you. The wheels are 22" Champion Motorsports RG24's and the car is running H&R Springs (Everyday, I regret not ordering the air suspension on the car when I first bought it. I wish I could drop it more with one of the lowering modules but unfortunately I am stuck with springs and the current drop)

did you picked them with the same ET allround? or did you get the staggered fitment look et47(rear) & et60(front). thanks.

ps.
how much did you pay for the bumper&hood?

It is the staggered fitment. The wheels are great and pretty light for 22".

I sent you a PM with details and cost on the bumper conversion.

looks good!

Looks good! Should add the TechArt add on lips that have 4 fog lights.

I will soon be converting to the Turbo Bumper on my CS Titanium Edition. Do you have any pointers for me as I take the plunge? What snags did you run into and how did you resolve them? Your conversion looks great. I too am disappointed in myself for not paying for the air suspension when I ordered the car.

Doravin1, here is some information that should help.

I got the following parts list off other posts here on 6speed. It was almost complete with a few exceptions (listed below)

Here is a complete parts list from this forum
95550531104G2X Bumper
95550506101G2X Spoiler
95550568301 Upper grill
95550568400 Lower grill
95550568101 Grill left
95550568201 Grill right
95550591501 Cover
95550515501G2X Cap
95550515601G2X Cap
95570110503G2X Support
95562830300G2X Washer housing
95562830400G2X Washer housing
95562816300 Nozzle
95562816400 Nozzle

Once we started assembling it all, we realized that the brackets holding the headlight washers would also need to be replaced. The ones for the CS bumper go straight up and down, while the turbo bumper needs them to come out at a 45 degree angle to clear the larger front grille oppenings. The part numbers for the brackets are:

95562818700
95562818800

The final issue we ran into was clearance on the black plastic panels behind the bumper. The CS ones extend out too much and make contact with the new turbo bumper. You have 3 options: trim/cut, replace with turbo ones, or remove completely.

Oh, and if you have the SS skid plate on your CS, you won't be able to reuse it on the turbo bumper. The turbo plate is a completely different part number too.

Good luck and feel free to email me with any questions.

Thank you for all the great information. So how did you remedy the ducting problem? Did you cut your existing, buy turbo or go without? The body shop quoted me about $90 dollars a piece for turbo ducts so I plan on going in that direction. But if cutting them will work without compromising looks and overall quality I might opt to go that route.

Get the turbo ducts. It will be a cleaner job.
