Default Factory Narrow Body dual Rear Bumper Cutouts?

So was there an OEM dual rear bumper cutout for the 964 (like the turbo 965) ever made?

My guess is no and if they exist are fiberglass?

There was just one on here for sale a month or so ago. IIRC it was for Cup cars and I believe in some countries the exhust exsit was on the other side of the car, but it was indeed a left hand plastic, not fiberglass NB bumper cap. I almost bought it myself.

If that is the same one I am thinking of, it was a modified (as in cut) factory piece.

So here is what they have at FVD - High quality reproduction made of reinforced glass fiber.

Sounds like fiberglass....? or am I missing something?

Does anyone have the OEM factory part (if indeed there is one) still not clear that there was...

The FVD part is not fiberglass - it is molded plastic, but I do not know the compound. It seems to be very similar / same as stock bumper material. I can only guess that Porsche may have never made a left side cutout valence for the NB. Isn't the turbo (WB) the only stock dual exhaust 964? Not sure why you feel the need to search for an OEM part for this anyway - the FVD part is very high quality and I cannot tell any difference from the right side OEM version. Fitted up perfectly. Plus, it would be far cheaper than an OEM part.

Sorry, but you are wrong there, the FVD part is reinforced fibreglass, I bought one myself. nolift911's statement is a quote taken directly from FVD's website.

I thought I had some pictures of the C4 lightweight around, but I cannot remember what it had for a left side bumper panel. The car I saw had a tubular header system, but cannot remember if it was single or dual outlet.
