Ah your right, But we can agree that its not the original bumper that came with that car since its a manual... possibly an accident in its past.

The car actualy has quite few parts replaced....updated head light, rear lights, and if it was hit it must have been a very small accident...because hood seems to be original with all the stickers....one way or another i inspected the car and it seemed very good...accept the shocks and the price was good...so its pretty much mine! my first porsche!!!! i will post pics at the end of a week when i come back to Caifornia

Auto transmission cars had a center opening in the bumper? News to me. This is a 97 Tip without the hole.

man, i could have sworn the tips had a transmission cooler up there. i checked the PET and i'm completely wrong, the atf cooler is mounted near the transmission and looks like the oil cooler. i'm totally wrong about the bumper. my bad.
