Default GTS rear bumper cover

Is a good used GTS rear bumper cover generally worth more than a good used S4 rear bumper cover?

Take a look at 928 International's website- their list pricing for used components should give you a starting point.

928 Int. only lists new GTS and used 87-91. No listing for used GTS.

I did an even swap of GTS and S4 rear bumpers about five years ago. Seems like a used S4 rear bumper might be worth a little more, however, because new ones are NLA

Thanks for the responses. I saw that 928 International only listed a new GTS cover. My car came with a nice (silver) used GTS rear cover in the trunk. I would rather have a correct for my car S4 cover (plus I don't have the center light/reflector bar and I don't want to buy one). Anybody want to trade?

A chacun son gout ... as the French would say. Tony C. in Rockport changed to an S4 bumper on his GTS .... and others have no doubt preferred GTS on an S4.

We haven't had that spirit here since 1999.

One of my S4s has a GTS rear Bumper Cover, probably because when it was to be replaced that was all that was available. I don't care for them either and will probably change the Rear Cover on the GTS4 when it comes time to repaint it. Therefore I have been collecting and hoarding S4 Covers as I find the opportunity. They come up on eBay every once in a while and if they are not outrageous, I buy them, or I try to. I don't even know how many I have, maybe 3 or 4, and I don't usually sell from the stash, but I have been know to share some of the hoard with others.

One that I thought was going to end up on Tony 77's GTS was the one I modified in a thread on here about how to properly eliminate the rear bumperettes. I hauled it all the way to Texas, but since it was not actually ready for base and clear, he turned it down. That's one I will sell to someone if they are interested, but it takes a big box and the best way to ship it is probably on the bus. Otherwise it is going to end up on the GTS4. If I sell it I'll just modify another one, since I think that bumperette delete is really cool.

In fact, any that I put on one of my cars that I am going to repaint and /or otherwise modify will likely have the Jerry Feather Bumperette delete incorporated.

I'm open for your suggestions.

I've had a GTS rear bumper cover and reflector for a couple of years waiting to swap INTO my $4. I'm doing a wing, rear wiper, side moulding, headlamp washer and probably a rear bumperette delete and adding GTS mirrors, clear lamp covers and more. Hopefully the car will go into the body shop for some minor rust repair (rear quarter windows) and a full re-spray within the next 10 days or so. When thats done a FULL leather interior including pod, dash, F&R consoles, sides, etc) along with new carpet will go in. I think that with the rear wing off, the GTS rear bumper looks better, but that's my opinion. In any case, in a few weeks there will be a '91 S4 rear cover available if someone feels that passionate about it.
