Non-stock fiberglass parts are in use in this thread. Some viewers might find these parts offensive. Enter at your own risk. You have been warned!

WARNING: This product can expose you to [Fiberglass], which is known to the State of California to cause cancer. For more information, go to www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

Yes it is a fiberglass front end. Hate filter turned on. On the car when I bought it, not sure if i will keep it or not, still deciding. It has these pockets that look like they were for a 911 reflector or something. Does anyone have an idea which ones fit in there, 911, 944 Turbo?

These are surely contributing to front end lift at high speed, HAHAHA!

The world flipped the pic, sorry.

I ordered these. I'll see if I can make them fit, or return them.

Maybe share a picture of the whole front will help determining what FG front you have? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I agree. whatever got slapped on that car doesn't appear to be a common aftermarket bumper.

Doesent appear to be a grafted 944 turbo/S2 bumper either as those had dual light openings.

Need a picture of the full thing to have any chance at guessing but I believe the answer to your question as to what goes there is:

"nothing on a 914 as it isnt a 914 bumper"

Y'all are fussy. For the FG haters, move along, nothing to see here. For the no non-stock parts group, likewise. I bought it this way. Not sure if I am keeping it like this or not. I have never seen another one just like this and I have looked quite a bit. I do not know if it is one off or not.

Can't wait to see how the pics change after upload. I did resize and open first, they look fine.

Nope not at all. These posts have a tendency to go sideways here. Just trying to keep it on track. I didn't ask if anyone likes it, I'm not sure I do. I just asked what could go in that hole. I even posted a small pic on purpose. I was asked for the larger photo, knowing that it will cause someone to post the vomit icon. Just trying to rise above all that and get straight to an answer, not the drama.

I like it, assuming the underlying workmanship is first class. I also like your garage.

C'mon man, the drama is half the fun. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/slap.gif)

Besides, you were treated pretty well. No one even posted the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) icon.

having seen your car and owned many 944 turbos you have the correct part coming, unless you want to change to clear, which generally looks better in my onion with black.

I dont think anyone is hating, we just have no clue what it is.

Looks 944 ish but isnt 944

Has some similarities to some of the Beachboyz stuff

at this point though your guess is as good any anyone elses.

It almost looks like someone took an aftermarket 944/968 fiberglass bumper and adapted it to a 914

found a few different ones similar to this.

I flipped a coin on that one and went with black. I decided to try and hide it as much as I could. It will never be functional. I do not intend to make them work.
