If the rear bumper was flush, i wouldn't call it a bumper!

Seriously, you're already going to let the offending object smash into the rest of your rear end... not really useful for anything more than looks at that point.

I actually think that looks way better than if it were flush with the rest of the body.
A flush one just wouldn't look complete, the body would just stop abruptly.
Good luck finding one

Are you refering to this bumper cover?

If so, it's a Fiberwerks piece.

Is there a difference in the rear from 944 to 951? I don't think so but could be wrong.

Sorry, when you said flush, I thought that was what you meant. I wouldn't call the 968 flush at the rear, it still has a lip where a separate bumper would have been, its smooth, but not flush, I'd call it integrated.

theres a slight lip on the 944, i just dont want all those steps and breaks, i want it all nice smooth and blended in. im going ot make a piece between the tail lights, that fills in the space between the tail lights and the plate, make it more flowing, smoked, and solid red tail lights, that dont look like old volvo tail lights, so i need the bumper to look more modern too.

Ok, now I see what your saying, when I first read your first post, this picture came to mind.
