So, I purchased by 997 S in December 2015. I had big plans for her and it is all coming together. I finally placed my bumpers on after a long wait of purchasing, prepping, painting, and installation. I also installed LED DRL's.
Front bumper is an OEM GT3 bumper. Rear is a full carbon fiber GT3 cup bumper. My GT3RS spoiler is en route and should be at my home soon.
Beautiful car. Always loved CCW classics. How hard were the bumper swaps? My car's bumper needs a respray and thought it would be cool to just put a GT3 or .2 bumper on it.
Where did your exhaust tips go? Are they hidden behind the bumper? Are you converting to a center exhaust outlet? If not, are you worried about melting your bumper?

Thank you. Front is OEM, so straight forward swap. Rear is full carbon fiber, but also fit perfectly. I say do it. You won't regret it
Wow looks nice and aggressive. I'd have sorted that exhaust at the same time as the bumper though, may as well.
I would have had it done by now if I could. Unfortunately, muffler shops in my area aren't as experienced as I hoped them to be. My only other option is to take a drive to SOCAL and get it done there, or remove my cats and have a shop here straight pipe it. I don't want a check engine light, though.
I did a muffler delete and kept my cats. Basically the welder made a 180 degree pipe after the cats and had it exit the center of the bumper.
That's what I was hoping for as well, but apparently "the job" is too skilled for anyone locally. I'll have to take a drive elsewhere to get it done, unfortunately.

Do you mind posting or even emailing me pictures of the underside of the exhaust? I could use it to give locals ideas on how to fix mine so I don't have to drive 2-3 hours away. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
