GTS Rear Bumper Cover on a S4 Yes or No?
As many of you are aware, I have a significant project underway with my 91 Turquoise Metallic S4 (Full repaint with GTS rear quarter panels, Greg Brown Stroker and Paul Champagne interior).
https://rennlist.com/forums/928-foru...-part-2-a.html
My present dilemma is whether to also graft on a GTS rear bumper cover to go with the GTS hips that have already been grafted on. As I also have the GTS side mirrors and painted rear wing does it make sense to go all the way to a GTS clone-ish (the word is clone not clown) appearance?
I like the GTS bumper cover more than the S4/GT. As the S4/GT rear cover is NLA and you can still get the GTS cover I wonder if I should go with the GTS cover and save the S4/GT cover for a time I may need one for my other 90 S4.
Your vote and comments are appreciated.

I prefer the subtlety of the S4 cover with GTS quarters. Never been a big fan of the red reflector strip.
Search for pics of Greg Nettles' car (Blown87) - he's got GTS quarters with S4 bumper still.

Logic? What is that? There has been no logic to anything I have done relative to a P-car, especially 928's
I need to find some pics of Greg's (blown87) car to see the effect.
I've seen a few GTS's with the reflector strip bowed a bit. Is it easy to repair?

Lots of threads on it , haven't gotten around to actually fixing mine. Apparently it requires toilet hardware.

Here ya go, I have to say if I repaint it again (it may happen sooner than I want) I will fill in the part that says Porsche and remove the hood emblem and possibly the door handles and the sunroof.
It also needs wider tires on the back for a better look.
I would get rid of the headlamps if I could see at night with the driving lamps, but that is not going to happen, clean and discrete is good in my book.
(Hello, Georgia State Patrol, how can I help you? "this guy just went by me going very fast, he is going to kill some one" GSP? What kind of car is it? "Black and fast"')
