Post Bumper pushed in?

Is this rear bumper pushed in? Or did this guy just remove the bumper pads and add that cool-looking valance.

That one of the PEFA fiberglass rear ends. Total conversion job. It comes unsanded, unprimered etc. Installation requires drilling about 15 holes and bolting on.
THe guy who does them - Peter Faustman (hence PEFA) has a few other kits for the 944 on his website. <a href="http://www.pefa-design.de/index-e.htm" target="_blank">PEFA Design</a> I saw one rear end there that was kind of nice looking, but I like the way the back end looks stock more every day...

That looks to be the Euro spec rear bumper. Much nicer than the US version IMO. I think the front Euro version kicks **** over the US version as well.

That front end looks too much like a BMW. Poor car will have a personality complex.

All i like is the rear bumper. Will it fit on my 944 US version? I also like the way the bumper is pushed in...

Hah, you won't like the bumper being pushed in when (if ever) you get rear-ended. My car was hit in stopped traffic by a jeep wrangler, the driver let off of her clutch with it in gear. Luckily, the jeep hit my bumper and the damage was 2 new bumper shocks and end caps.

Unhappy

I know this is a subjective thing, but I think the front end treatment on the PEFA Design website is hideous. Looks like a cockeyed Nissan.
