Default Looking for Rear Turbo Bumper Upgrade. Any Recommendations?

Hey guys,

I'm looking for a Rear Turbo Bumper Upgrade for my 1999 C2.

I'm upgrading my car with the GT3 Aero Front bumper and side skirts, so I thought the turbo bumper would be a nice finishing touch from the rear.

Anyone have any recommendations of places they have purchased one from or heard good things about?

I'm looking for something to fit as close to the factory bumper as possible. Preferably with pre-drilled holes.

Send pictures or links if you have them.

Thanks,

Nick

There are a few guys out there that make an after market, however you can use a stock TT bumper if the guy doing the work is good, I have seen three kinds
1) NR auto it was ok but far from perfect
2) Some chessy fiberglass one it was terrible
3) Stock TT modded to fit a NB , it look the best, but after talking to the guy who owned the car it was not cheap, but anything good is not

I have thought about doing this as well.

check ebay .... there are a few guys sell them.

also, www.mashaw.com and www.gettydesign.com. I think they are around $1000.

No experience w/ any of these guys.

I looked into the RUF Turbo-look bumper for narrow-body cars. It looks nice but at $2,200+ it is pricey!

^ on the plus side it is polyeurethan..so it will probably fit better and survive better than aftermarket ones if u accidentally reverse into stuff

I have one on my car for REALLLLYYYY cheap....Its fiberglass, the MASHAW one I thing....It was hit on the rear, and is quite fixable...just one crack down the center under the car....I made the insurance company buy me a new bumper...I got a TT bumper and am having it modified. So I will have this bumper available at a VERY low price....It will probably cost less to fix than a new one would to prep, most fiberglass stuff need lots of prep work to fit right...this one has had it done....comes with bumperettes....
