997.1 to 997.2 rear end conversion

I'm pretty happy. It was a labor of love finding the right 997.2 bumper cover in CA and it was local pick up only so I had to pull a few favors from some of my CA friends to protect and drop off at a greyhound station. Tracking from GH was bad but in the end I did get my bumper.

Then on to all the odds and ends and a paint job and finally it's on my car. Thought about going the Depo Dectane route but glad I held out and saved up to do this.

It was hard downsizing a couple of times from a 997.2 TTS and I always loved the rear update from the .2 cars.

Thanks,

Tom

Really great choice. Any aftermarket headlight or taillight ruins the car.

Now you have the best of both worlds, the .2 update with the mezger engine
