Default GT2 Evo Bumper on Narrow Body?

Hi,
Would the GT2 Evo front bumper fit a narrow body 993? I know the car has the fender flares but I believe most other front bumper covers are comparable between wide and narrow bodied cars.

I highly doubt that it would. The GT2 flares are 2" wider then a wide bodied 993.
I fit 265 or 275 wide tires with my GT2 front flares. 305 or 315 rear tires.

It may fit since these parts are adjustable ...now would it look right ? That would be up to personal impressions haha best way I can phrase it , Bert

Doesn't the GT2 have the standard front of the narrow body 993? Would the GT2 Evo be any different?

the front is the same for regular and wide body.
without the flares or wider fenders the evo bumper cover would stick out 2 inches past the fenders on each side.
just imagine the picture you posted with the fender flares.

I have the narrow body C2 front bumper with GT2 flares it bolts right up , so in converse the GT2 EVO front bumper should mount to C2 front fenders ...YMMV, Bert

The EVO Bumpers that are available are generally fiberglass, so there is alot less flex in them that the OEM plastic bumper covers, that will streach easily to the GT2/RSR Fender flares on the front of these cars.

That being said, I have an EVO 1 bumper on my NB Car, the difference being that the EVO 1 is an extension at the bottom, leaving the stock bumper at the top. Still some flexing required in the fiberglass riser part.

Thanks, that fits really nicely. Where did you buy the bumper cover?

Unfortunately, I am unsure of the original source as I bought it from a rennlister.

However if you go to the Getty site, they have them in 2 different formats, called:993 Evo Spoilers A, B
