I've decided to update my 996 narrow body rear bumper with the turbo version. Has anyone done this? I'm wondering if I should just buy one of those on ebay that are already made to fit, or just buy a genuine and get it worked on??....I'm sure it's been covered before, but I can't seem to do a search ....any avdvice will be appreciated.
thanks

I think Newport996 has the turbo bumper. PM him for the shop that did the work. Since you are in Pasadena, I think the shop he used is just down the 10 to Culver City.

I had an oe TT rear modded and installed on my car. It's not that difficult, seeing as you're in Cali., I suggest contacting the shop that did Newports.

From what I've read the replca's that are made to fit the NB car don't fit very well and require a lot of modding. Better to go with the oe.

newport has the OEM one..... he has a shop that does a lot of these from what he tells me.... looks fantastic....... but it does require them to cut the original giving that the original is wider then our narrow body........ Has anyone ever done a REAR WIDE BODY CONVERSION? i think the wide body look is sexy as hell........

thanks, will look into it. I will have to agree, those wide bodies are dammmmn hot..

Yes...as said I have the OEM TT bumper now...I HAD the fiberglass aftermarket TT "LOOK" bumper before...The OEM bumper is much nicer and looks and fits far better....Culver City Customs has done a TON of them....call Raj at 310-202-1555....mine came out to be cheaper than a aftermarket bumper....

That's like a great pair of jeans on a hot girl with a skinny ***. You need more booty (and by that, I really mean a wide body car!)

Newport.....that is one bad *** 996, love it. I will get in touch with Raj.

newport996

tell him John sent ya....he'll take care of ya...they are a great place. and do AMAZING work....

newport996

YES....my shop has done lots of them....Here is one they did....I think its a + 4 inch rear...2 inches wider than a TT or C4S....thay can also do the standart TT or C4S rear as well.....This one is a 99 with a supercharger...I think its got 13" rears....

Now, that is booty! Very hot.

That is ridiculous. Gotta love it! Is there any way to upgrade the rear bumper on a narrow body with a turbo type?

newport996

Yes...look at my post above with the black C4 Cab...its a narrow body with a modified TT bumper....
