997 Bumper Options

I've been looking for another bumper since mine was recently damaged. I found one I really like, but seems that was made by Rinnspeed (now Mansory?) who's no longer in business. I thought perhaps it was a Misha bumper given it was displayed with their GTM wing, but Alex (@ Misha) confirmed it wasn't theirs.

Alex sent me pictures of their turbo bumper available for the narrow body. I'm not sure how this will look without the entire kit or if it's too aggressive. Thoughts?

Thats ugly as hell. Stick with an aerokit or GT3 bumper. It will be cheaper, look better, and be NOT be made of fiberglass.

whatever you decide on, make sure you get a urethane bumper and not fiberglass. the best part of the aerokit/gt3 bumper is the replaceable lip spoiler. if you get a bumper with an integrated lip, it'll look like trash in a few months, especially with how low your car is.

I suppose you're right on that.

Any idea what this one is? It belongs to Doctor911 but haven't heard back from him. My car is scheduled to go in the shop next Tuesday and although I'm having the insurance repair the bumper cover, I'll do keep it while I run an upgrade or lip. I know the GT3Tek is polyurethane, but I'd like the one below a little better

that looks like a complete bumper and not just a lip. if its a lip, its molded onto the bumper and thats def not a stock bumper.

I like the Aero front and Suncoast has a great deal on them, but it's fairly run-of-the-mill like the GT3. I was hoping for something a little different. The one above fits the bill for me. Hopefully I'll get information on who makes it. I actually like it with the side skirts and the rear wing. Misha also has a great deal right now on the GTM. The car above is very nicely modded and the wheels really compliment the package.

Will the C4S front bumper (.1 or .2) fit the narrow body?

Yes. It's the exact same bumper.

Holy crap. This thread contains pictures of the ugliest 911's I think i've ever seen...
Especially that yellow one in the first picture. I think i just threw up a little.

I found a brand new Rinspeed kit for a WB but I've learned the parts are made of fiberglass. Won't work for me

Just make sure you absolutely love whatever you get-try to see it in person first if possible- i'm having huge issues with picking a rear wing lol....
