[QUOTE=Maik 123;17278843]I also rebuilt my vehicle after I saw the conversion here in the forum. New lamps and new light strips have fitted onto the old plugs. I shortened the bumper bracket a little at the bottom. Body-colored bumper bought the wide GTS. Everything went well. Unfortunately, the middle light bar does not light up. That's why I'm bringing it on March 15th. in the workshop. Many thanks for the tips from this forum.
Where did you get the wire mesh?
Alright guys, here's the final product. A few notes:
- Ended up painting the heat shield black and then using some wire mesh from amazon that I painted satin black to cover the two side vents
- I think due to either my Techart spoiler or the bumper I sourced actually being a GTS there was a center gap. Instead of adding the center/3rd tail light (would have been too many with the one already in the spoiler) I trimmed that out with the same mesh as the side vents. I think this turned out well, provides a unique and agressive look, and ties everything together nicely.
- The tail lights are factory smoked units. Wanted to dial down the red so it wouldn't compete with the custom Miami Blue brake calipers and seat belts I added to the car
Did you have to trim those side vents too to make them fit before installing the mesh wire?
Thanks for having me here. Few weeks ago I had an accident with my 991.1 4s cab and had to let it go.
I went out searching for a 991.2 because I love the tail lights but just couldn't get over the ****ty turbo sound and the way it build up power.
So I thought I wil just go back to a 991 gen 1 and have the tail light upgraded. After some research online came to this thread and this Gave me the push I needed to do it.
online i found the Tail lights + bumper and went to Porsche to order the additional parts Mentioned here.
the parts will arrive Monday and the bumper has been painted.
just need to pick up the stuff and bring to the bodyshop and Get it mounted.
So can't wait....
And thanks again for this thread..
hope everything wil fit wel!
