SMOOTHING OVER THE OUTSIDE LOOK OF MY 993
So I have a GP white 993 that the PO did a techart tail/splitters/grill pc on way back in 97.Car is a 95 and came with original motorized spoiler and basket handle/3rd brake light.I am the first to say i love aftermarket custom parts and I have a heavily modded 82SC.However,my white 993 is very clean and I prefer the jelly bean smooth look on the 993.So I am removing the Techart tail and welding up the basket handle mounting wholes on the rear decklid and then repianting top/bottom of deck lid.I ordered a new front non turbo style euro bumper w/no bumperettes (my current bumper has no bumperetts,however it was cut to fit center techart grill).Going to keep clear corner lenses in front.Im also removing the rear bumper bumperettes,fiberglassing the holes and repainting only the tag section/indentation of the car.Last but not least,Im installing newer 96-98 third brake light on upper rear window.Im thinking that should really smoothe out the car.Its also getting HID lights up front while Im at it.
So here are some before pic..........I will post after pics soon

Kudos on going for the clean look. As these cars age I suspect more people will do this. A clean original example has a lot of appeal.
Don't know about using fiberglass on the rear bumper cover though since fiberglass will flex/heat/contract at a different rate than the plastic. There are some excellent plastic fillers for this sort of thing. Might check on some older posts, a bunch of guys used did this on their front bumperette removal.
Either way, looking forward to some after shots.

One of the looks I like so much about our 993's is the third brake light window spoiler. Only on the 993 911's!
