Thumbs up

Just emailed Suncoast yesterday. waiting for their response.
I recall asking you from a more recent post why you had removed and replaced your bumper so many times (hoping to calm my fear of installing the Sharkwerks bypass). I now understand along with your exhaust work.
Thanks for your help.

Any time. It's super easy to remove the rear bumper. You can do it with your eyes close after doing it once

Here is the price break down when I did my Euro rear bumper conversion

These prices are from 1 year ago so it might differ slightly.
  • Euro rear bumper #1: $1172.89
  • Euro rear bumper aluminum beam #17: $447.35 (mine came with heat shield #22)
  • Center Exhaust Heat Shield - #5: $42.01
  • Air outlet frames #30 and #31: $48.22 each x 4 = $192.88
  • Decorative RS side strip: $19.95 each x 2 = $39.90
  • Shipping to business location (your body shop) approx $250 depend on location
  • Painting: My shop at Sacramento charge around $450. Price vary so shop around
Total: $2595.03. Not bad for a Euro rear bumper conversion

I work in the Collision Repair Industry and the Insurance Companies will not have a problem with this conversion.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I just picked up my painted and assembled Euro bumper. Installed it last night.
Very pleased. It was a bit more than I planned on. A bunch to get rid of a couple of bumps (plus a few lbs)
Thank you Mikymu for you help.
Suncoast was very helpful as well. They suggested buying a couple of lips - no additional freight.
After Alex convinced me I could do the SharkWerks bypass, I knew this would be pretty easy. Perfect fit.
I had some better pics - trouble with downloading.

Can this be done with the RS.2 version on the RS.1 with the LED tails? I wonder if Porsche changed the attachment points of bumper between the 2 versions.

I know somebody who swapped the GT3.1 bumper for the GT3.2 to accommodate the LED tail lights. It's not a direct swap since there are a few extra items that need to be replaced, but it worked and seemed simple enough. I have a parts list for what needs to be changed to make it work for the GT3 so maybe the part numbers can be cross referenced to make it work with the RS.
