I only wish our stock bumpers would fill out the opening better. I know we had to have the stupid 5MPH bumpers fitted, but man, it's not even close to filling the opening. That last pic just screams for a euro front bumper to fill the gaps. Sorry Porsche, but the little rubber flashing material at the ends just didn't cut it. 
Joe, your work has helped me decided on what to do for mine. I'll run the stock bumper with the 944 front w/extended spoiler and no driving lights. Then, as funds allow, get the euro bumper fitted after. Keep up the good work!

There is a small gap between the front fenders and the ends of the Euro bumpers which is noticable. At least on my car there is. Not sure if it's due to the USA fenders or not. I have a set of Euro fenders without the marker lamps, may put those on next year before the repaint.

Yeah, there's still a gap, but it is nowhere near what the US bumper gaps are. Stupid US bumpers.

Is that because it's a 924 bumper trying to fill out a 944 front clip??
The GT had a unibrow...

No, the US bumpers don't fill out the 924 fenders either. There's about an inch on either side that is "filled" with little rubber pieces that go onto the bumper. That part has always looked horrid to me as if a 5 year old were in charge of making the US bumper modifications. If you run the bumper shocks collapsed (which does make it look better overall) then the gap is actually even larger.

Looking good, Joe, but to be honest I kinda miss the bright yellow and blue...

No, slam.. (my mod friend) its like this. Ive heard of bright colors
being called bright before. They r just that flashy, style-ish.
The silver on the other hand is like sex with a mysterious woman.
The thing  what would it be like with gold which would be more of
a mystery .. These r nice colors
