So my '08 C4s has a couple of imperfections on the rear bumper. I see it as a good opportunity to do something interesting, but I haven't found a lot of rear bumper options for wide body cars. I'd love to do something similar to a GT3/GT2 bumper with dual exhaust (rather than center exit).

I love this one:

However, I've never heard of Prior design.

What do you guys suggest? If I do anything other than stock, I prefer something clean and subtle... A GT3 style bumper is about as aggressive as I would want to get.

Thanks,

G.

 

widebody bumper options that i know of:

precision porsche 997.2 gt3- will need 997.2 tail lights
oem turbo bumper- will need to reroute exhaust exit
oem gt3rs- will need center exit exhaust
oem gt2- will need to reroute exhaust exit
oem gt2rs- will need to reroute exhaust exit and will need 997.2 tail lights

personally i would get an oem bumper since they're urethane and will flex. fiberglass bumpers crack too easily and are not durable.

 

Vorsteiner is also an option.



Here is a better shot, not so dark.

 

That bumper is perfect. Where did you get that? And do you mind if I ask pricing?

 

I too would like to know where to buy that rear bumper for my T4s

Would the gt3 replica rear bumper from gte3tek fit a wide body,,

 

NB only. i have one on my car.

 

you could do a gt2 as i did

So will the GT2 rear bumper fit a 4S cabrio ?
with the proper exhaust mods of course

 

There's a guy in our local Porsche club who put a GT3 rear bumper and exhaust on his C4S. It looks and sounds great! It's an expensive option, but very nice.

 

I belive the GT3 rear bumper will not fit on the C4 or C4s, just the GT3RS one.
So...will the GT2 bumper fit on the C4S ?

 

Hey that looks awesome!!!

One question. The OEM lid with the wing has inlet vents on it, with the bumper having what looks like outlet vents. I'm assuming this is to allow the venting of hot engine compartment gases so that the air temps don't get too high. The Vorsteiner bumper does not have the exhaust vents. Would this affect the performance of the car? Some say cooler inlet air temps help.

 

Vorsteiner also has inlet vents to bring cool air into the engine like OEM. No outlet vents like your second picture. I have not noticed any lack of performance. The engine runs cool and never had any cooling issues. I also have a 3rd radiator. Hope that helps.

 

Greaser, The priordesign is gorgeous but it has two major drawbacks:

1) Its price: More than $4K for the rear bumper.
2) The material: it is made with fiberglass.

For this amount of money, not using polypropylene makes this bumper pretty much useless. First shock, it is over.

Otherwise, I agree the car would look terrific with one of these:

I know there are pros and cons between fiberglass vs polypropylene (what are they exactly by the way? ).... But I just loooove my PD kit.....
