yet another Rear Bumper Poll

My nightmare regarding the rear bumper continues.

I returned the first bumper and I have attached a pic of a friends car with the REAR Turbo LOOK bumper that I just purchased. My car is a Carrera 4 and I really like the air ducts on the turbo and the C4s. However since this is a '02 C4 cab, it is a narrow body. I installed a GT-2 front bumper and don't want the car to be viewed as a Turbo Wanna Be. The rear bumper comes with the vents below the tag.

Should I have the vents filled in or leave as existing???

SEE IMAGES BELOW !!!!!!!

My opinion.....get what you like the best. I wouldnt be concerned about being a "Turbo Wannabe"...In fact, i am not....I added the Turbo front and rear to my C4 as well. I really don't care about what others think, as long as I am happy...so go for what you like....besides, you'll find that most people are NOT Porschephiles and dont know the difference between a Turbo rear, a Turbo look rear, or a standard rear....Here is a pic of my new rear end....

I installed 19" wheels and also lowered it with just springs. I have had no issues at all, rides very sim. to stock. But the look is more aggressive. In my opinion you should lower and install 19" wheels, it will total change the look.

Robert, the car looks sweet. I was at Anziano's today, checking out that same bumper.

newport996, you can't go wrong with 18 but 19's fill's in better. I have 18's on my ride here a photo.
