That to me (once again doesn't matter) looks great. It really smooths out that last bit of the car. Other then the stock rear bumper, the 951 is a pretty smooth flowing car. It's like they just ran out of patience or something and slapped that thing on there. 968 cars have more of the flush mounted bumper and looks great. Anyway's after all that I guess I would say what ever you can do to hide the ugly bumper, go for it. But my $0.02 is worth about that.

It'd look cool combined with a single front wiper blade in the upright position. LOL, really just joking. Been combative posting with phsyco-ologists lately. I'll take my Prozac and sit back.
Ahh, that's better. Go for it if you like. I've seen a bumper pad delete car and it looks outstanding. Seriously considering doing it to my car. I've also seen a bumper pad painted car and thought that it looked like a "at home" paint job.

I like the rear diffuser though. I think it makes the back look more aggresive. I don't know of any other car that has something like that.
Gcb951: Maybe it is the angle but I think that one looks like it has a droopy butt. I like the idea of something a little more flowing though.

i agree wholeheartedly what most of you are saying regarding the US spec bumpers....UGLY!!!!! porsche had to make them like that for the usa to cover the impact guidelines here but it looks all wrong......takes away from the look of the car when you look at the back and see this huge step sticking out........NOT NICE...... ALSO, the usa spec side/blinker lights where an after thought by porsche to clear US guidelines......they too look crap compared to the styling of the euro/rest of world 944's........just my ha'pennys worth.....

I'll second that. This bumper blows ours away IMO!
