I received my set today for my track car (front and back). They look very good, came packaged well, and are extremely light. If my car was driven on the street, I would add some small LEDs for signals.

I'm in the market for a lighter set of bumpers. The cleaner look is nice too.

Greg these are very good quality and very light. I will also be deleting the bumper shocks and going to a fixed mount. No 5 MPH protection, but no plans of contact either. (did you do CMP last year? I had the gray 944S)

Can you post a photo of what they look like on the inside? Do they use the stock Euro bumper mounts?

i have a pair of these
the back bumpers have brackets that attach using existing mounts holes
the front you have to roll your own mounts or use the over a US spec bumper
given the nature of the car thes are goin on i will be making my own brackets for the front and glueing them on. Saving around 40 pounds total.

I would be interested to see photos of how you handle making the brackets.

both of mine were delivered as skins. I am making the brackets with 3/4" square tube and using part of the OEM bumper as the base to glue the skin to...

my design

here's what I did for the front and back. Like I said, I tried the Turbo shocks but they still didn't mount it tight enough for a super clean look.....

That's not my *bay sale, but that is my hybrid with the 5.3l. I don't give a rat's *** about copyright b.s. when it comes to posting pics.....
hell, here's something for you to copy....Just mount the NA bumber and chop on it til your heart's content on the weight savings.....
