Has Anyone Here Ever Done A OEM GT2 Rear Bumper Conversion?
That is with factory parts. I wonder how much the OEM GT2 rear bumper is, and I wonder what OEM parts you would need to make everything work just as nice as how the GT2 rear bumper comes from the factory on GT2's.

Thanks,
Alex

How is the rear GT2 bumper different from a TT?

Totally different design, especially the area around the exhaust tips.

Dose a GT2 OE bumper fit on a 997turbo? I will be running a OE GT2 muffler, so the exhaust tips should line up with the new bumper. Just wondering if I'm going to have any issues. Thank you, Marco

I have done full 997TT --> GT2 body kit conversion with all original parts.

Outcome of the project was awesome and along the way we learned that 911 Turbo is not a GT2! My car is cobalt blue.

I'll post pics once get to the home computer.

Would it be possible to wait for a 2009/2010 GT2 bumper so that it would accept the OEM-LED tail lamps?

ESu, would be very interested in a quick list of things you had to do to accomodate the different bumper. Thanks in advance.
