Turbo Style Front Bumper

[clubhead]

I ordered mine but decided to cancel it after the company made a mistake on shipping and decided to charge me $180 more. Personally, I think it would look great on the car, which was why I considered it.

The only thing to concern with is the material. Most if not all aftermarket bumpers are made of fiberglass (Fiberglass Reinforced Plastic) to keep cost down. The original Porsche bumpers are made of plastic. Main difference is plastic will allow minor knocks and still retain the shape. Sort of like you press it in and it comes back out again to the original shape. FRP is brittle and will just crack, much like bumpers made out of carbon fiber. Hence, I doubt they can sustain minor bumps and still look ok.

I ordered my original bumper from the local dealer today. I made up my mind after a lady reversed her car right into mine without looking.... duh! I had my original bumper on. Only the paint cracked. The bumper still looked in great shape. I'm only replacing it cause I'm getting the car sprayed over and the bumper I have on now has been puttied before by the previous owner probably due to an accident.

If I had my brand new turbo look bumper on the day the lady reversed into my car, I would probably be crying now...

So aftermarket bumpers are fine if you don't live in the city where you're more likely to get into minor bumps with other cars...
