One of the most popular 996 upgrades is modernizing the dated factory rear. The GT3 RS-style rear bumper with 997 look transforms the rear of the 1999–2004 996 Carrera into a sharper, more current design.
What is the 996 rear bumper conversion?
It’s a rear bumper conversion that updates the 996’s rear into an aggressive, GT3 RS-inspired 997-style look — a standout transformation that pairs with matching front and side aero.
Why polyurethane?
Molded from flexible, crack-resistant polyurethane, it flexes over impacts and returns to shape instead of cracking. It arrives ready for scuff, prime, and paint.
Fitment
Fits the Porsche 911 996 Carrera (1999–2004). Confirm your rear configuration and exhaust before ordering, as this is a full bumper replacement.
Installation tips
This is a direct replacement for the factory rear bumper using OEM-style mounting. Body-shop installation is strongly recommended for proper alignment, gaps, and paint.
Styling benefits
This conversion is one of the highest-impact ways to bring a 996 up to date — it completely refreshes the rear end with a modern, GT3 RS-inspired look.
FAQ
Is this a full bumper? Yes — it replaces the factory rear bumper entirely.
Does it ship painted? No — it arrives raw, ready for body-shop prep and paint.
