Here is the look I'm going for:
This is a wide body look.

The targa is a narrow body. The front bumper/splitter visually ties into the rocker panels on a wide body. It won't look right on a targa.

I purchased my ROW turbo front bumper from Gert many years ago, it is an OEM bumper and the service was top notch. The results can be seen in my avatar. Your Targa is a NB so the rear bumper cover is less wide than a turbo and will not fit. A scrape bar is a must under the front bumper.

I run RS -10 and have not scraped my turbo bumper anywhere. Just take inclines/declines at an angle.

Also you can add the aerokit 1B sideskirts onto your NB for an added effect to compliment the front lip

Thank you for starting the thread. I have a '97 Targa and am contemplating combining a Turbo Bumper with an S front lip and RS side skirts to see how they would look together.
