Stupid bumper question
 
I know that the wide body cars are wider at the rear than the narrow body cars but........ has anyone tried installing a wide body rear bumper on a narrow body car?

You know, I don't think it is that stupid...I have always wondered that myself not just for 993 but for 996 and 997...both ways WB=>NB and NB=>WB. Hope we get some replies....

Fenders are wider and bumper goes up to the fenders so it would not fit on NB. There are also support brackets on the inside.

I can buy a euro wide body rear bumper cheaper than a narrow body one. :D

Here is a narrow body rear bumper for $200.00. Should be able to ship through Greyhound.

If your current bumper is fine just have a body shop take the bumperettes out and fill in the gaps. Cost me $600 to do that including paint.
