What is this bumper?

[loopie]

I have seen this bumper on three 70-71 cars in the last couple weeks. Was this a popular aftermarket thing to do or is it some funky option I have never noticed?

IIRC,
This was a 'trendy' upgrade of the late '70s or so to make a small bumper 911 look like a later car.
From memory the kit was sold by Mitcom(where are they now?) and maybe others.
IMHO better left off these days - perhaps not so trendy !!

Cheers,
Dennis.

Mitcom, that brings back many memories...

These plastic bumpers were also sold by Performance Products as well as many other Porsche parts houses.

Holy crap...that's the same fugglleeee setup that's on the back of my 71. My winter project is fitting up a nice new one piece glass rearend.

They make a great source for black letter reflector panels, for those of us afflicted with a Turbo addiction. Paul, let me know if you have one for sale.

Tom, all that stuff is gone this winter...remind me and you can have first dibs. Think I wanna loose the ducktail too...maybe. Bought a set of those R hinges and wanna use them so will need a normal glass or cf engine lid

I had something similar to that on my car, it was the first thing I removed since it was so ugly and melted from an exhaust leak. Looks much better now.
