TechArt made a better looking "Add On" front spoilers for the 896. They seem to flow better with their side skirts than the photo of the black car.

i really like the cargraphic front "fascia" and the old 911 style hood and side skirts. I would do that to my car if i had the paper.

Vath, the part as listed in the 986 online catalog.


Main group 8: Body

Third item:

802: bumper, front

When you remove the cover, it looks even more like an old school bumper, a chunk of aluminum mounted on shocks. Just sayin.....

Well, the painted exterior part of the car that you see.. the "bumper cover or skin".. is called the fascia. The beam, the energy absober (foam), the fascia, etc are all part of the front/rear end modules.

I know what the owners manual and shop manuals have written. Fascia is what its called in the industry. I never heard it called that until I started making them.
