Front Porsche Bumpers?
 
Hey first time poster here.

Since 935 front bumpers fit on FB's would other 911 bumpers fit as well?

Sorry if stupid question

i would say its an odd question? i would imagine that other 911 bumpers could work, but it would depend on the style.
the 911 is more rounded in the front too

Yes, if you have Amemiya Isami san to fit it to your RX-7. Literally anything fits with this one simple trick.

_________

Story time-
Reason 935 reproduction bottom front valence has been moulded into FBs, FCs and FDs is because they have provisions for the 935 "fog" lights which are Porsche factory night racing lighting solution.

These bumper lights were deemed to be the only/best road legal lighting solution for racing on the Tokyo Bay Aqualine/Bayside loop (known as Wangan).

Why would a Japanese street racer care about having road legal lighting when they are breaking the law driving flat out racing on public roads?

Midnight
The Midnight auto club was a secret group of Wangan racers that held eachother to a code. That code seems to have included being as safe as possible, obeying as many laws as possible and not attracting undue attention.

Im not claiming anyone was or was not a member of Midnight.

Amemiya san has some good stories
I heard one about keeping up with a certain Porsche factory modified 930 in a rotary swapped Chantez kei car.

I remember them being listed on Anniversary Racing Factory's site, they're not repurposed Porsche parts but specifically for SA/FBs with provisions for the front and side marker lights.
Though anything can be made to fit with the right skill and tools.
