Default 2010 GT3RS Sans Rear Bumperetts ?

All,

Just came across this picture and this car does not have the bumperettes on the rear bumper??

Steering wheel is on the left so has to be U.S version. Was it an option? So I wonder if I remove bumperetts it would look like this?? hmmm

anyone have any insight on this?

This car is destined for somewhere other than North America. In the US, the DOT requires the 5 MPH crash bumpers and the bumperettes fill that need on the 911.

Look at the black Porsche on the right side of the picture - it has a European license plate. My guess is that this RS is not meant for US. It should not be hard to convert it to European rear bumper. You did it before with PetFrog

Most countries have the steering wheel on the left as in the US.

check out the tow hook location on the rear? it appears to be behind the license plate?

if this is the case, the euro bumper will not give you full time access of tow hook when running a license plate, but alas the 997.2 CUP car bumper will!

easy fix.
