As mentioned, ordering a new rear bumper should get you the euro version (before square cut-outs, a body shop would normally do).
Otherwise, brackets behind can be removed (saved for re-installation w/out hacksawing).......filling of remaining cavity in the ABS bumper can be done by a shop who works w/this material often

Gregg,

I love the car without them. Wait until you see the pic of what we did. Prior to doing what we did, we checked at local body shops as to the cost of filling the holes and repainting. We found the cost to be approximately $1,300.00.

Since S Car Go Racing was going through the trouble of removing the rear warts, they also decided to keep the 5 mph bumper, however now it is a little lighter. Will have exact weight
reduction number very soon.

Chad,

Why is there a half circle on the upper, outer edge of each piece? Is that the shape of the hole left from the removal of the wart, or is there a particular reason to the design? Also, is it a reflection, or do your filler pieces continue up to the overhang, next to the lights for the plate?

David,

There is a half circle because the left side on the stock bumper had about a one inch hole. When they made the cut outs for the warts they cut half of the one inch hole....leaving the other half. The small one inch hole has nothing to do with the warts.
The warts also utilize cut outs in the overhand. The reason both pieces have the half circle is to keep the pieces alike.

Color Change,

It's the nicest CHP 911 frame your ever gona see.

Back to the wart replacements. Do you think they should be painted to match or left in micro polished stainless?

Chad,

I like the way they look as is, and do not think you should paint them.

The shock absorbers take most of the impact and they are still in place in the rear. I removed the complete unit in the front.

25 pounds were saved by Akkurat Performance Group. It did cost a lot to have George take the bumper from the shop to the trash tho
