Question Question regarding 981 GT4 body kit from design911

Greetings,

I have a 2016 981 GT4 to restore. I have to acquire front and rear bumper and stumbled upon the product that is offered from design911.com (link here). They said that it will fit 981 GT4 however they say it's not 100% identical to OEM. Does anybody have actual experience with the specific product? Have you seen this kit in person? Is it 99% same as OEM or there are visible differences? What about the other elements?

My desire is to restore OEM or 99%.

Additional question, does rear bumper cover from 981 Cayman S or GTS identical to GT4?

Thanks in advance!

While I don't have first hand experience with the bumper, one thing to check for is the tow hook location. On the GT4, it's a few cm further from the center of the car than the non GT4.
The bumper in your link appears to be made for non-GT4 cars, as the tow hook is closer to the center.

Yes, you are right, that's different. Thanks! That's pity but yes, if I put this kit I will not be able to use the tow hook...is that the only difference?

Anybody has actual experience with these kits?
