I am trying to build a 916 clone. FG Flares and the front 916 bumper were installed on the car when i bought it and a stock bumper is still on the back. I want to purchase the 916 rear bumper, but am a little worried about the fitment. It says that minor modifications are needed for a flared car for them to fit correctly. What type of modifications do i need? I am fairly good at bodywork, but will i have to cut the bumper and make it wider or something. I don't really wanna cut a 300 dollar bumper and possibly Fuch it up!!
Thanks, everybody!!! |

all fiberglass is lousy and needs careful fitment to look good. Coming out of the mold it is every molders different opinion of how the piece needs to be trimmed. Even the factory 916 has ill fitting fiberglass (one rocker sticks out further than the other!) We have tried it all and at least with the rear bumper it has the pillowed ends exactly like the original. We have tried them all (gt racing, mitcom, getty design, AIR etc, and none of them are better than the others, some worse. Our body shop complains every day about the stuff and is constantly chopping and sectioning to make a perfect fit.
Bottom line there is no bolt on solution |
