Weekend Project is on!

Well after a few years of no mods, I decided for a little rear end change. Added the TT rear bumper to match the front bumper. Left off the bumperettes as well, wanted to go for a Euro look. Heck I think I'll leave the plate off too Gotta love Cali, cops don't care about plates

Some before and after pics.. Oh yea added some new dual tips as well.

3 important distinctions bud:

1) yours is in bright **** plain steel color located in the front and back the same color as your fencing at your local construction site

2) the benzo mesh is black which makes it much less noticeable

3) your carrera is made by porsche, not mb, pls comes correct

and an asterisk point.. you have a narrowbody carrera and now you're shoving widebody parts on it - again, your original car looks much more cohesive, cleaner, OEM.

sorry to spoil the party, but i'll call it as i see it - all cars can me made to look like **** powered by the owner's indiscretion/poor taste. it's got nothing to do with germany, botswana, iceland, greenland or omaha, nebraska.

What kind of spoiler is that ontop of the motor? Is that a whole new engine lid or is it an "add on"?

Looks great, but I'd paint the mesh. Do you have a modified OEM rear bumper or an aftermarket?

I think he knows what a "Bezo" the CLS55AMG he referred to lives in Kevin's garage. I like the look man good job as always. Last year I did the Euro rear bumper on my 986S and it made it look so much better.

Thanks but thats your taste, not mine. It's a aftermarket bumper, fiberglass and a perfect fit.

Nice...I dont like fiberglass, it will ripple in a few years....mine did so I went with a modded TT bumper and the fit was much better....I do think the mesh is a bit bright...I'd prefer the C4S gills to the mesh.

That dont look like a TT rear bumper. It looks like a regular bumper with the TT holes cut out. If you look closer to the rear of the TT rear bumper, it comes down straight rather than curving in like the stock 02+ bumper.

Also, loose the chicken mesh. makes the car look cheap. Get the real grills from the c4s.
