Nicely done.

Goofball, here's the best deal on turbo scoops http://type911shop.co.uk/epages/de86.../Products/3521, and here's how https://rennlist.com/forums/993-foru...installed.html

Euro clears from Gert at Carnewal are fairly priced, and cheaper than a set of cut down clears. http://www.carnewal.com/products/P93...r-Turn-Signals

eBay for the ducts and Pelican for the longer lights

When I picked it up I was like - DUH! Homer Simpson Style, but I'll just get a set of bumper plugs.

I went through the bumperette-delete question with my painter. He was not comfortable filling the void with any of the products available. He felt that with a hole that large, a slight bump to that area would have a high likelihood of failure of the repair and paint. He even felt the same way about the license plate holes. I'm sure others would disagree and have had no problem with filled bumperette and license plate holes, but I figured I'd take his advice, so I went with an ROW Turbo bumper. He came up with an elegant solution to the license plate holes - two small metal grommets that he painted - looks great IMHO.

My shop has a plastic welder which made short work of the front bumperette holes. Time will tell if the paint will crack.

Nice,never heard of a plastic welder, that sounds like a good solution.

Beautiful job Kevin. Can't wait to see this in person. I've got an empty bay in CT you can 'park' your RS or C2S 🙂

First of all the most durable way to delete bumperetts is to replace the bumper cover. Also do you realy want to do this as the rear bumperette mounts are substantially strong and really are the only substantial metal protecting the end of the engine's crank shaft from a rear collision. I would think any rear end impact that taps the end of the engine may plant the seeds of distruction in the engine and or driveline.

+1 on the rears. Last week, while sitting at a red light, I felt a clunk in the rear as cars in the adjacent left-turn lane started moving. Fortunately, there was no damage. I am confident the outcome would have been worse without the rear bumperettes in place. There is a good supply of inattentive, distracted drivers.

While waiting at another red light a few years ago, the car ahead backed into me (you can't make this stuff up), creating obvious damage to the front bumper cover. The wider positioning of the front bumperettes renders them less likely to help prevent damage.

That certainly is the best, but most expensive route! Do ROW cars have the same rear bumpers? If they do, I figure they would be spaced wider to allow for the euro license plates, but would still help in a rear end tap situation...just wondering...

That makes sense. The rears are positioned more centrally to absorb a minor rear end tap and also protect the driveline. The fronts seem to be Porsche's solution to just get by US regulations at the time, but based on where they are positioned, they would be of virtually no help if you accidentally tapped the car in front of you or if you were pushed into the car in front of you.
