What is it? The pictures are too big to figure out what it is. I'm guessing a bumper of some sort.

They look to be carbon fiber bumper bars on a cup or RS car

Didn't have a choice, the Gemballa bumper does fit with it. Doesn't do much anyway, only under like 5 miles an hour...

Alex,

How many lbs saved are we talking about?
Does it still meet safety standards for the street?

Not as much as removing them all together lol... I don't know how much it saves but they weigh almost nothing. However they use alluminium shocks also....

Dont have an accident.................the aluminum rear bumpers absorb a TON of energy when the 993,996,997 is hit. Porsche Motorsport 1st removed the front one on 993 Supercup racecars............then removed both on 993RSR & GT2 racecars.............and also on 996 Supercup cars. When you get hit without the aluminum bumpers the chassis monoque gets hurt..........rather than spared with the aluminum getting smacked. Removal does save alot of weight.
