Not sure that exists. Porsche only ever made the Turbo front bumper to fit the Turbo front end (headlamps and front fenders). All the rest of the "turbo look" bumpers seem to be fiberglass. If you find a vendor, please let me know as I am interested as well.

YES. That place and one of our sponsors, Fiberworks makes that one particular turbo bumber in Polyurethane. That's the ONLY one they sell that way. All of the other ones are figerglass. These 2 companies most likely get their's from the same place.

Apparently Precision Porsche also makes that bumper in poly. has anyone dealt with any of these suppliers and have any comment on the fit and finish?

Porsche986spyder,

Here is a link to a PPBB discussion about the NR cover...

Definately looks like it is drooping down on this car...

Precision Porsche, but mine is NOT Poly Urethane. My bumper is fiberglass. Never had any problems with it or the fitment. Good company to order from.
