Gen 2 rear end conversion

I'm in the process of ordering the parts needed so the guys that have done this conversion, could you please help me with a list of what I need!

I think I have covered most parts but want to double check.


Thanks,

Nick.

This is what i got:

997.505.411.41 - 997.2TT Rear bumper
997.505.641.03 - 997.2 bumper support bracket
997.505.651.0201c - 997.2TT Exhaust surroundings
997.505.652.0201c - 997.2TT Exhaust surroundings

LED taillights (fog light on the left) + FVD connection
997.631.411.04
997.631.412.04
fvd 631 997 led

997.2TT Exhaust Tips
997.111.251.32
997.111.252.32

Exhaust needs to be modified so i ordered one from Europipe for the new bumper and tips.
You might need to modify your exhaust for the tips to be centered with the large exhaust surrounds.
Don't forget you need the fog light from the taillights to be on the right. (UK spec)

Nice I was looking for that thread.


This has been a great help. So all I have to do is glue the old sensor brackets and hey presto.

Hi w00zy,

Did you have to upgrade your front and rear control units to get this conversion to work with the FVD modules?

Thanks

Hi I've done this conversion now and you only need the FVD modules, no control units are needed.

if i was going to bother with a rear end conversion why not be different and do a gt3rs bumper with center exhaust! would be unique!

The thing is I have seen this done a few times only, but how would you vent the air passing through the intercoolers as the gt3 bumper doesn't have same vents as the turbo bumper?

Thnx for the clarification GTRnick, these modules aren't working perfectly for my 09. My rear indicators are flickering but everything else works. Will update this thread with progress on Monday after FVD checks it out.

Mind posting a photo of the updated rear? I am in the middle of doing this.

My car is same color and I have the same "Sport Classic" taillamps as I assume you have?
