Will a turbo rear bumper fit......

I was wondering if a 997 turbo bumper would fit a 997 C4/S without modification. I would imagine that the holes where the exhaust tips exit would not line up, but maybe I'm wrong. Has anyone done this, and if so have any pics?

Thanks!

Matt

The bumper will fit without issues, however you'll need to do a little massaging on the tips to get them to line up properly. They may be a hair off, but some minor adjustments to the exhaust should make everything work out.

Hey guys,

I had experience converting the 997S rear bumper in to a 997 GT3 Rear bumper. You will need to buy a mounting bracket for the left and right panel in order to fit your bunmper properly. The Turbo bumper has air duct/vent on each side (left and right). This duct are part of the mounting bracket. They aren't cheap.($300 a piece from the dealer -OEM though).

I got my GT3 rear bumper mounting bracket (Left and Right) in order to fit my 997 GT3 (Narrow body) rear bumper.

Its expensive, but the right way to do it...the OEM way..

I was actually thinking having a 997 turbo bumper cut to fit my 997S (narrow), but I am not sure if it would look that good against my aerokit. I also saw a couple of turbo bumpers on eBay listed for around $300.

Hey ak996TT, where did you get the mounting brackets for the GT3 bumper? Do you happen to have the part numbers?

Thanks!

I did the rear 997tt to 997 2005 in my car by myself.it fits with very little mods to the base around the tailight.(only the screw holes have to move a little). The muffler mod is a mayor
pain because you have to remove the bumper so many times to
correct the alignment of the tips. The hole job took like 3 days . If also did the front bumper but this one takes 15 minutes. Good luck
