I want to upgrade my rear bumper and lights to the updated 997.2 look. Has anyone on this forum done that? And is it a plug and play with the bumper fitment? I understand that the lighting wires might need to be modified but is the bumper swap as easy as some people say it is?

tons of threads out there, I've done it myself.

what is the year + make of your car?

you need
- rear bumper 997.2 (narrow body not the wide one)
- rear bumperettes
- rear exhaust trims pieces
- rear LED tails
- rear control module (the one under the drivers seat) + programming via durmetric pro

you may see on the threads that there are other parts , but the truth is everything else you can re-use (after minor modification).

OKB

should be easy mechanics

My current bumperettes and exhaust trim pieces will not work? And where would I find that modules for the tail lights?

myw

old ones wont work. ebay/dealer are your best bet.

also search the forums here for the part numbers as i cant recall them.

Is this something that I can do im my garage or do I need a professional? And do the updated led lights bolt to the same brackets as the original? Thanks in advance for taking the time to answer these questions.

remember get the narrow body not wide body bumper (check eBay)

i would get a professional, but i think if u have some basic tools and you know your way around body work you can do it in your garage - its just a swap nothing custom.

the led lights will bolt onto the same brackets as the original - but you may have to shave the connectors of the new tail lights a little (i had to). otherwise the connection points may not make contact.
