If it even looks CLOSE to the red cab above, I will be extremely happy.

The issue is; I already have the NR Auto bumper here. It will take a min. of 5 days to get it from anyone else, blah, blah blah.... One another note, I did speak to another manufacture since receiving my NR bumper and I swear that they ALL go to the same sales school. Line by line. We made our bumper form a exact OEM turbo bumper. I guess that is the only way I would do it as well. NR pics look sim. to the red cab above on their web site.

I am NOT going to install the bumperettes, I personally like the euro look (sim. to the silver 996).

Well we will wait and see, I have a couple of sleepless nights ahead of me.

Rob:
Here's a shot of mine for comparison. I don't like th bumperettes either. Not sure why someone would go through the xtra effort to put them back on.

Don't forget to powdercoat the grills (mesh). It will hold up much better than regular paint back there. Probably only cost about $20 to do both.

Scratch the bumperettes..... Deputy, I like the bumper but I really don't like those rear slits on the center between the tail pipes. I've seen then before and thought they would grow on me but I guess they haven't.

Looks great from the side

I am trying to be a gentlemen about the issue, so far. Per my conversations with NR, they have been very professional. I will keep everyone informed of the outcome within the next week. Depending on how NR reacts to the issue(s).

When there is a problem, it is ONLY then when you know the quality of the company you are dealing with. There will always be issues, the questions is?? How the Company reacts and trys to resolve the issue.

No Bumperettes will be installed, and IF the Anziano's bumoer is installed, it will be installed without the grilles below the tag.

I like the rear slits. Keeping them was my attempt to not give GaryFL too much ammo about my car being a turbo wanna be

I have the NR front GT2 bumper in polyurethane and the fit was good, although all aftermarket body products take a little more effort. I know that bumper fits better on turbos and C4S style 996's and can be a problem on the C2's. I like the front splitter because it is easy to replace and very forgiving of dips and speed bumps. I did not want fiberglass or carbon fiber on the front but that may not be an issue on the back. Will

D. Dog, - What a f****** nightmare. But it is complete - YOU were correct from day one!!!!! I am in the process of disputing the NR bumper. The Anziano rear bumper was EXACTLY what I was looking for and is on the machine. - Thanks again !!!
