Default What options do we have for rear bumpers for the 2002 996 NB

Per the title, just wondering what options exist for the rear of my car. It's arctic silver. Other than factory (expensive) or the Duraflex bumper, are there any other options? Thanks.

I think optimal is finding factory aerokit parts used.

I'll let others comment on after market options.

Been looking for a while but there's not much out there for narrow body cars. Might have to stay factory.

Thanks but I did try them and when you hit the 996 and then rear bumper nothing comes up. Maybe I should call them.

Not sure what you are searching on, but their website does not work on my iPad, but works on my computer. Also search better bodies. This is the same company.

I only have an iPhone and iPad now so maybe that's the problem. Replaced my Mac with the iPad Pro. Great device and I can do 95% of what I did on the Mac but there is that 5% that I can't do. Thanks I'll check tomorrow from the office on a laptop.

Here is pick of an option they have. They are having a sale until the end of the month. If you pm them, they can tell you more. Here is the link. It is on the first page of the Rennlist 996 Forum.

If you get a new bumper, I would like to talk to you about buying your rear bumper. I too have an Arctic silver 1999 996. I just want a small upgrade to my bumper.

I saw another picture on their website that shows a silver car without the bumberettes and instead the whole bumper extends to the line where the bumperettes end and covers them. Looks like this way they preserve the functionality but change the look. Have not hear back from them yet, may be off for the holidays. Happy New Year to all.

Turns out GT3tek does not paint. They have a diffuser for the 99-01 cars but no mentions for the 02-04. No worries, they make a nice product. Worth the question.

Agreed but in the PM he did not mention this one. I am looking for one that is an improvement over the standard look but that's already painted or I will just have mine repainted.
