Default 997.2 Cup front and rear bumper swap

Need to respray the front end and rear bumper and got to thinking about doing a swap. Am I missing anything?

- front bumper + grilles
- rear bumper + grilles
- front telescoping tow hook
- rear telescoping tow hook

Look at my build thread, I've documented it all in there.

Especially about the tow hooks.

If you are a .1 then there are several more things you need to do for front and rear bumper to work, from either modifying the rear heat shields under the rear bumper or replacing them with the .2 versions, to changing out the radiator ducts up front to the .2 versions.

The rear does not bolt straight on if you want to keep the crash guard (i highly suggest you do not take off the aluminum crash guard if you car sees any street time)
