I was on my way to a car show and a fool bumped my 964 at a traffic light. When I pulled over he took off. He probably senced that I would be upset. The damage was slight, just the paint on the bum,per or so I thought.

Last week I took the bumper off to get it painted only to find that the center reflector was cracked and fell apart when I took it out. A new is $600 plus, anyone have one they want to sell..............

Here are some pictures of my solution

Actually looks pretty good, better in fact.

[Oh Haha]

+1 on going without the reflector.

Definitely a lemonade out of lemons moment.

What did you use to replace the center piece?

[si Banker]

I used a piece of 30 gauge aluminum . It is made out of two pieces of material and welded together. I did it this way because the part has a compound curve. I used a slip roller to put the curve in it and used the same mounting points. I also put a piece of rubber edging along top and bottom. I only plane on using it as a short term replacement while I look for a used reflector

I say clean up the lid and leave it off. Looks really great w/o it!

Now thats a new idea! Kinda digging it. Keep it and add porsche script maybe? Post a pic from further back if you can.

I think I am going to make another one with a series of holes or slots in it which night help with cooling

Si,

Looks awesome! Now about those G50 shift knobs?

[k9doog]

Actually it looks pretty good to me, let me know if you want to make another and sell it to me?

[si Banker]

I have another Pelican that is interested in one but I will not know for about a week . Can you wait?

Back-up lights? We don't need no stinkin' back-up lights. Looks great.

+1 looks good w/o, kinda modern look if LED lit plus PAG does not pay you for advertising, right?

This RWB might give you some inspiration :-





Obviously the sticky tape would have to go.

Sure I can wait, no rush.

Scold your car looks super. I really like what you did with the tail. I was tempted to add louvers and I happen to have a die but could not find it. I had thought about ptting back up lights but I was in a hurry..............I don't need no stinking light and watza behind you is a not importante

To be fair and accurate, it's not my car (unfortunately). Might be suitable for some of the younger ones but as I get older I've opted to take it a little more sedately, hence my current drive is :-
