Are there any choices in replacing the front bumper and bottom front spoiler for 924s? I'd love to get a euro front end, or even a carrera gt style bumper. Would a 944 front spoiler bolt on?

Also I'd prefer a local source in CA, instead of overseas shipping.

Thanks.

GT Racing apparently have full Carrera GT kits, sold in pieces. You could get a nose section from them.

As far as I know, the Euro bumpers are just bolt-in. It's finding them in the 'States that's the problem.

I think it's only the bumper itself that's different between the U.S. and Euro cars..?

Their are a lot of choices...

You can update to the 944 style... front half of a Carrera GT

You can update to the 968... complete body conversion

You can update to a 944 Turbo nose on the 924 (modification to bumper piece required)

You can update to a 944 Race style bumper and splitter combo (modification to bumper piece required)

You can put a lot of stuff on the car and even keep the 924 Fenders.

You can do a C or D production conversion

Holbert set the stage decades ago...

The Carrera GT, GTS, GTR etc... these cars can be imitated...

Depends on what all you want to do...

Those are some interesting options, but I'd like to keep it simple. Also I would prefer something that would bolt-on with little hassle.

Would a 944 front bumper (the bottom portion) bolt on? Would any year 944 bumper fit, or were there changes done to the bumpe rin certian years?

PCA, I just got some euro bumpers for my car, it's all bolt on..... they are are reasonable to get from europe, except for the shipping or freight.

Euro bumpers are probably the best looking on the 924, but shipping will probably be quite a bit. So would the front bumper of a 83' 944 bolt on? I might be picking up an 83' 944 (manual steering, stick, red/black and it actually runs) as a parts car.
