Hi guys I picked up some used 916 bumpers of a fellow teener and the front bumper seems to fit great. But the rear bumper really doesn't line up or fit well at all, anyone have any ideas? Where is the top lip of the bumper supposed to line up on the rear of the car and also the side indents don't seem to match well.

Welcome to the world of aftermarket fiberglass! Fitting these pieces makes the original price seem expensive when you figure out the time involved.
If labor is cheap (ie your time), enjoy your project. Otherwise, look elsewhere. |
