Don't see how this would work. The body work is quite different. Look just behind the rear wheel openings on both models.

Stock OEM 997 rear bumper will not fit.
I should have known that given the fender line.
I am still trying to cobble my car together, not trying to fake a 997.
Thanks everyone!

It's just an abomination to create crap like that. It looks half *** and something out of the "best of craiglist" frankenstein cars hall of fame.
