Sorry to hear about the issues you're having, but that bumper does look really good otherwise.

OK back from welder. He said it was a complete pain with being off by inches so he had to fabricate and spent a few hours getting them in place. After all the extra nonsense and cost, it does look sweet.

I know, I'm planning to actually make an effort this weekend and take some good pics. It's been a summer of mods and I also just installed the front bumper.

Nice video and love that cowbell but need to replace it with the 808 version.

I know this is an old thread but wondered if there are any updates? I see under the trunk lid and along the top of the bumper it is wavy. Looks warped. I think the issues is folding it and stuffing it in a box to save on shipping is the main issue. Its a great looking bumper but the waviness along the trunk to bumper gap is poor and not what I would expect on a Porsche.

If they think this bumper fits, they need glasses You are correct, it's wavy/warped.


trunk to bumper gap is poor and not what I would expect on a Porsche..


Yes...




I think the issues is folding it and stuffing it in a box to save on shipping is the main issue.....


That's how they do it....even if you pay extra for a bigger box it gets stuffed. Who ever heard of getting something and being told, well sit it in the sun or use a heat gun to make it correct. If it comes like that it'll NEVER fit correctly..IMO.

I dont get it, even in their video on the teal one, there is a huge gap under the left tail light and almost no gap under the right. I would be pissed if that was my car. looks like I will be sticking with stock.

The hardtop on the cabrio with the bumper is way to busy with too many hard lines. Looks to fast and furious for my taste.

The Prior design rear bumper is really good looking, very curious on how your fitment works out. My only issue is my car came with Factory Stainless Steel Quad Tips an $1100.00 option when new, they sure would not look right with the Prior, but that would make look for a set of Tubi Style Tips.

I ordered the Prior Design Freestyle bumper 8 weeks ago for my 04 996 and they finally came in. Off to the bodyshop in the morning. I'll let you know how they do.
