Default 991 GT3 / Turbo Rear Bumper Conversion

I recently completed a GT3 front bumper conversion on my 2013 C2 and absolutely love it. I want to move forward with swapping out the rear bumper to a GT3 or Turbo but have no clue if it's possible I've seen it done on a 997, but never on a 991.

Wow nice as I have the same car and color. Dare I ask how much the conversion of the front bumper cost?

Looks great! Im pretty sure the narrow body on the C2 will not allow for the rear bumper of a GT3, which is wide body.

If you had a C4 it may be possible, but the OEM bumper will be to wide for a C2.

I spent roughly $3,800 after paint. I picked up a used bumper with the grills, so saved a lot by going used. If you buy all new parts it’s a few thousand more. I can post part numbers if you’d like. Sonnen Porsche has the best prices on parts, so I picked up everything else from them.

997 GT3 used narrowbody, so bumper swap is an option. 991 GT3 uses widebody, so unless you have a C4, it's not possible...

Don't forget about your exhaust tips.. Where are they gonna poke out? GT3 has center exhaust outlet.

Yes, can you post part numbers? Thanks.

Been thinking of doing same for quite some time now. You sure are making it tempting.
