Default Body questions? Forums guidance needed

There are so many beautiful cars here on this forum. Some of them have had some tastefully done modifications. One of my favorite is the rear turbo bumper. I’m willing to shell out some money to have this done to my car.
Right now it is a basic 1999 Carrera and I have no problem with it.
That rear turbo bumper is a must have for me at this point.
Has anyone done this?
Will any year rear turbo bumper fit on a 1999 Carerra?
Ill be happy to take and post images of the progress.

Your car is a narrow body. The turbo is a wide body. Pretty sure rear bumpers are not exchangeable.

I have heard they will with some modifications.
I am also willing to buy a good quality aftermarket made specifically for a N.B. car but I am also not afraid to hire a good body shop to paint, mod and install if it’s the better way to go.
I am at the beginning of my research. I won’t make a move until I feel like I am on track.

Do a search on the various forums. I have seen people do this by taking a slice out of the center of the bumper.

Yes I have been searching and will continue to do so. Some of the post are a half dozen years old. Things can change greatly in that time span. Many new things surface. Also several suppliers have gone under that I have read about as well.
Please post some information if you have done this.
Thank you.
