The bumper fits all 996 regular body cars, not for use with TT or C4S, sorry guys.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hey everyone, we have 2 Euro GT3 bumpers available (they also fit the 996 C2/C4's). These are the rear bumpers as seen on European models, they omit the bumperettes as seen on US models on either side of the license plates. It's the same bumper but without the cut-outs for the bumperettes.
If you have a damaged bumper cover or want the cosmetic upgrade, this is the direct Porsche Genuine bolt on. Requires paint and install.
They're $800 per bumper. Brand new of course. Best deal going, compare to retail at $1400
both are part # 996.505.411.12.G2X
(G2X = Porsche's code for primer finish)
Thanks,
Austin

The 99-01 cars require a change in the heatshields (not confirmed through our shop experience) according to PCNA. 02-05 it's the exact same.
Here's what it looks like installed:
oh man you are KILLING ME!!
I wish I had the money! This is exactly what I am looking for...I hate the bumperettes...and would love this BUMPER!! ugh!!!!
GL with the sale....
Yes. THe US Dept of Transportation mandates that cars need to be able to handle a 5 MPH crash with a limited amount of damage to the front/rear bumper, or some such happy horse-****!
That all US bumper covers are essentially the same as the Euro bumper covers?
The assembly process calls for the installer to cut the holes for the bumper extensions, and the extension covers (the bumperettes) fit through the hole and clip to a plastic frame from behind.
One can purchase a 996 bumper cover, and simply remove the bumper extensions from the bumper ram (the aluminum bar behind the cover) and you have a euro bumper.
The 996 bumper covers are under $500.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
