What Did You Do to Your 911 Today?

[Chuck Miller]

Nice Alex..........

Local Cars & Coffee for me. Yes, that's a real 993 RS in front of me.

gotta loose the big bumperettes now though.

I hear/heard'ya Max.... and me, and many more for the last 28 years.....

Our friend Rick Cabell even sent me a pair of good used chrome originals well over 10 years ago....

Well, last week I took Rick's and had'm replated and polished and today I took a couple of hours of John Esposito's time to mount them (I tried fitting them myself maybe 4 times in the last 10 years... with no luck... They were WAY off)

I now know because of an old none-original license panel John needed to do a little cutting, bending, hole elongating, and even a tiny bit of welding, and VOILA!!!

Yep Max..... I think you, me, and the rest were right....

Thanks Rick, and John......

Cheers

I'm a little sad myself ☹️. I think the 73's are interesting, rear only of course, bc of our one year only unique bumperets look. I have some bumperets that were powder coated black with no rubber strips. I installed them and just wasn't sure. I think the Euro 73's might have had blacked out chrome bumperets vs the US rubber. Can anyone confirm this? If true I may be inclined to try the look again.

I thought that as well Mark....

However, I was informed by a early issue '73 owner that it was the early (pre-Jan.) U.S. '73's came with the all black metal bumpers until the first of the year when the U.S. cars were switched to the '73 type' rubber bumpers...

Looks nice Chuck!

So it is possible that a US car could have had black metal bumperets? I wonder if they would have had the rubber rub strip as well?

Edit: I went and looked at mine and they are setup for the rubber strips.

Yep... Saw an early 2 or 3 digit '73 U.S. T Targa last Thurs with black bumpers and black strips....

[merbesfield]

Cool. Once I finally get my front ugly bumperets removed I may go with the black early rears.

Say Chuck,,,,you really should install that rubber seal between the license panel and the body
