The .2 bumper does seem to be a little higher than the .1 bumper, especially around the exhaust area. They are definitely NOT affiliated with Wicked Motors. My body shop was surprised at the quality and did not have to modify the parts at all to make them fit perfectly. The seams were all even and tight. The Fiberglass quality was very good as well and only required the most basic prep work to make the paint look smooth like glass.

The part offered by Precision is the 997.2 GT3 bumper. I only opted to get their wing and just kept my old OEM 997.1 GT3 rear bumper and modified it.

moetmanz is infamous around these parts
Angry Good!!!!!!!!!

Thats what I thought. Im having an extremely hard time with Wicked with the kit they sold me. The rear lid is warpped, the front bumper is too wide and can't be bent enough before it cracks, the rear bumper also does not bolt up adequately. What a Freakin Headache. Now they do not want to refund my money and said that my body shop is inadequate. What a headache. I will keep the forum posted on this. Thanks for the info.

Thanks for help Aaron. We have absolutely no affiliation with Wicked and have heard about their "stories" and will not add fuel to the fire. The exhaust cut out area does appear to sit higher but if customers don't want that, we can try to make it sit lower.

This rear bumper is from a 2010 gt3.
