My new custom bumperettes
Hi,
I got sick of my stock bumperettes and made some smaller ones. I made them out of 1/4" Alu plate. So here they are. I am thinking that someday when I am tired of doing HP increases I will backdate my car. I am liking the idea and the look of backdating. Dean I can't seem to upload pics. I will try later

I'd like to see them. Apparently there is a software glitch with the forum and know about it and are working to fix it.
There's also a related thread on the Early 911S bbs.

I think that one of the more entrapneural types reading this would be thinking of making replicas. I bet they could be pretty easily molded out of fiberglas. Maybe they could be vacuum formed out of plastic. I have been thinking about making some myself.

I like my stock bumperettes. I use them as an aid for high speed parking.

Certain models of Jeep Cherokees have small, rubber bumperettes that look like they might work...sort of a 30% size of the US 911 version...

Hey Dean, it looks like you installed a LED strip into your whale tail for a third brake light? What are the details there?

Why not just buy a euro bumper?
Or just euro bumperettes if the actual bumper is the same. ![]()

I didn't like the no bumperette look. Got have some bumperette.
![]() Colin, that is a really nice (expensive) LED strip. I found it online at a motorcycle site. Dean

Dean, what about your exhaust?
That is too cool looking. Can we get some pics of it? Thanks, Wayne

Here is a pic of the exhaust. I have since changed the U-bend a couple times now and it is hacked up. I like the center outlet except for the burned plate. And if I keep the center out I will have to build a valence for it. I haven't felt like it yet.

Thanks, Dean. I think a valence with a cutout for the center outlet would be pretty sweet. Maybe if you put a slight angle down on the pipes they would be less likely to burn the plate. I don't have a turbo but thanks for the inspiration. I think I can make that style setup work for me.
