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.

Warren.
I remember seeing pictures of the rear bumper on the car they came off of and the Triad outlets were centered fairly well. Work was supposedly done by a reputable body shop. I never test fit them to my car, but the Triad on my car is 42.5" driver's side inside outlet pipe to pass inside outlet pipe. Wonder if the dimensions changed a little over the years? I think even new ones are going to take some fitment. My guess would be the front fit so well because it had been fitted, modified, and installed previously. All of these cars seems to differ slightly in dimensions. I think the Phoenix Red looks good against the Blue! Tom |
