Possible. I ordered one but I have a 958.1, which has a different bumper design than your 958.2.

These days I put clear 3M film in the front and back. Previously used the RGM guard in the back (wife's Q5) but was not happy with the fit or durability. (Got grey in just a few months)

My GTS is garaged 100% of the time and the majority of the bumper is hidden under the hatch, so hopefully it remains black for a long time. Any rubber or black plastic will eventually fade from UV, although a few months seems really fast!

Credit Card dispute started with dodgy website, and new order placed with New German Performance (Available on the website, so no need to call), thanks @1LapCayenne

Charles at NGPracing is placing a custom order as we speak. He's in Maryland.

Installed the 3M tape on the Cayenne and my wife's Q7. A week later she went to spend a couple of days with her mom in the Berkshires. Came back with a huge abrasion on the 3M tape. She must have lifted something heavy into/out of the trunk...

Whew!

No blood stains, but a fair amount of dirt. Hmmm...

Wife did say she was digging up some stuff... hmmmm....

Glad I got the tape on when I did...I had a feeling...

The incident happened with her Q7, not my Cayenne.

I just talked with the retailer to order one.
I thought is was a rubber compound, but it is similar to the ABS used on bumpers
My question, has any used this with a dog jumping in and out, how does it hold up?

Just got the black plastic trim piece from Demon Tweaks. I pulled off the 3M tape and installed the plastic piece. I was a bit surprised at how well the 3M stuff adhered to the bumper...I was concerned that the edges were going to pull up. But no.

The plastic piece was easy to install. It's a bit more intrusive, visually, than the tape, which was completely invisible. On the other hand, the plastic will be more protective. Next time I wash the CS I'll take a couple of photos...

Here's a comparison between the 3M film and the RGM rear bumper guard. The 3M is on the Q7 and it is almost completely invisible. The RGM guard looks like it will take quite a beating.

One thing I didn't like about the film on the Cayenne is that it comes in two pieces to accommodate the contour of the bumper. At first I thought it would come up easily...but then, when I *did* pull it up, I found it adhered pretty darn well to the bumper.

Nice! Still waiting on mine. Any issues with clearance of the tail gate? Seems pretty thick.
