That is not an 87 specific bumper, it is a bumper specific to the 944 turbos and S2's. Using 944 turbo parts, you have to change the fenders, hood, header panel, headlight covers, and the bumper cover.

GT racing makes a replica that is suppose to bolt right on to the early cars.

 

thanks, i heard it was basically just a euro swap.

 

The euro front turbo bumper cover does not have side markers.

 

but would it still work, legally?

 

The turbo/S2 bumper conversion? Sure it will be just fine. A euro turbo bumper though, does not have sidemarker lights on the bumper cover (they are behind the front wheels on the fender instead), so your local highway patrol inspection might have a problem with that. If you have access to a euro turbo bumper, it is worth a deal of money.

 

I run a euro front bumper on my turbo, but they are quite lax in Kansas about things like that.
