Default 968 rear bumper conversion

any one have pics of this being done?
i searched but can find much.
What exactly does the rear bumper attach to? and what is different internally on the 968 than on the 951?

and do you cut out the taillight/panel The piece that is between the fenders?

Thanks
Mike

keep in mind that a convertible shell is different from a coupe...

WOW....I did not realize that the Albert rear was a panel like that....does anyone ( who might read German) know if it is made to fit over the existing rear end....which is how it kind of looks in the pic?

I would LOVE to do this to my car!

I don't know if this would be of help to anyone, but I just saw this and remembered this thread: Black 968 rear bumper for sale on craigslist (SF).

ok...so I think I answered my own question....looked at albert's site some more and I see the install photos...looks like minor body work....not a bad way to get a fresh looking rear....anyone know what this thing costs?
