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

No. It will not fit. As ken said, the cutline at the rear quarters is completely different.

I have a rear bumper skin for 997 GT3 if you need.

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.
