Yes, it’s 90% bolt on. 2 screws on the bottom of each side don’t line up and where the quarter panel meets the rear bumper does not sit 100% perfect but it’s not noticeable imo
Gts bumper mocked up
Where the two holes don’t line up
After-I drilled pilot holes and ran them in

If I understand, the bumper is wider, but you simply press a little on each side to make it fit ?

Yes, it’s about 1/2 inch wider on each side but you just push the sides in and secure with the factory bolt locations in the wheel well. No distortion, buckling, creasing etc is caused.

Special thanks to @getPorscheparts (Jason + Evan), these are the links for all OEM parts we need to install (+ 3 harness from Germany)
Middle light part #: Reflector Panel (991-631-465-02) $553.91
https://www.getporscheparts.com/oem-...Q2NS0wMQ%3D%3D
Reflector Nut - Porsche (999-076-056-01) $0.40 - Qty. 5 = $2.00
https://www.getporscheparts.com/oem-...ut-99907605601
FYI, 3x harness from Germany (I posted parts# and links above), parts cost was only €11.80 EUR but shipping (UPS) was €35.14 EUR, so I paid total: €46.94 EUR (about $50)
So total cost for parts were about $600 + tax on the light bar and nuts, not bad for such amazing change on the look.
Hope this helps to others who are interested in this mod. =)

With information on this page and help from polobai over the phone, I finally installed the middle light!
For GTS owners, 5 reflector nuts are not required. I was able to re-use existing ones.

I think you can find 991.1 light bar thread in the forum. I've seen it but I know for sure you can't use 991.2 light and I don't think you can use license plate light like 991.2 light bar due to voltage differences.

Polobai - That is very, very helpful, thanks! I have been trying to do this mod for years. I am not sure if I have the guts to do it myself, though. Just removing the bumper gives me pause. Splicing wires takes it to a whole new level. But I will get the step-down converter so I will have all the parts needed.

And get the parts from the link I listed above. it's not hard as you think. =)
