Hi all,

Is it a law or something to have bumperettes on your cars in the US.

Here in Europe I have never seen them on any Pcars and only rarely when I lived in Australia.

My P-Mechanic always told me that bumperettes were for the oldies who were scared of a little nudge up the rear. Fair enough I suppose. But I say take em off!

The rear diffuser looks great and improves the look of the rear in my opinion. I will put them on as soon as my wife gives me some pocket money but I do think the twin pipes must be done also to complete the look!!!

Cheers,
Steven.

Hey Steve! Yes, bumperettes are required here. :(

You poor poor bastards!!!!!!!!

I cant belive that.

What happens if you take them off? get a fine?

Cheers

you dont get a fine, you just have a hole in your bumper, and none of us really like the bumperettes

Actually, I do like the bumperettes, painted or not. And I also think that the diffusers look good on cars with the non-dual exhaust tip. :D

I think the twin pipes just finish the look off. The rear diffuser looks great with single or twin pipe. As far as bumperettes go, im happy no one uses them except in the N-America.

Coincidencly my car is a US build. Has no bumperettes and no holes either.

Cheers Steven.

eh its just a bumper, that can be changed. your car looks great tho

Djomlas,

Here's a shot of the twin pipes I was talking about. This is my 2001. Not the best picture but it will give you the idea. Take care,

Is that a Dansk with the "super sound" tailpipes ?

Looks sweet !

NickCats,

Thanks, it is actually a Porsche Sports Exhaust, the early version not the most recent model that they sell. It's the one that has the valves to open and close depending on the level of sound that you want (although I didn't hook that feature up, I like it on full sound the whole time!) Take care,

Mike

nice ride man, that looks great but man that exhaust is sticking from underneth too much, dont you think?

Yeah, its a little low but its grown on me as I like it like that as you can see the pipes running parallel to the ground. I had it installed by Ruf in Dallas and that was the first thing I noticed, but that was the best they were able to get it adjusted.

Mike

Thanks, Mike. At first look I thought you had the same exhaust as Boxtaboy.
