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!!! |

I just did my 916 front and rears. I did them off the car then tried to fit them on. I ended up bolting them on and off a dozen times to get it right. (I'm still not happy with the fit) Save yourself a lot of time, put them on, modify them to fit, sand bondo what ever, then take them off and paint them. I scratched my good paint a few places that had to be touched up after they were finally installed.
