Default YellowBird wide body

Does anyone have any pictures of this kit on a car?

I know that a few after market companies make the the Yellowbird Style front and rear bumpers for the 911, but i've been unable to locate any pictures.

You can see PICS of an original lightweight BTR on www.vconcours.com go to the Porsche overload category. I took the pics at Sebring Historics last year...it is the authentic real deal. Understated but mighty..

all kinds of weight saving as well. Just hope someone doesn`t hit you. I like it, combine that with the DZug carbon fibre rear reflector and it is a great look. Plus lighter.

The stock bumpers are only 5 miles per hour bumpers... Not much protection really ...

I love the look ... and lighter is better

Some RUF did make a wide bodied yellow bird kit?

I thought RUF only made Yellow bird body kits in narrow body...

Anybody know where I can source the lighting to duplicate the RUF BTR rear bumper look? Are the lower corners reflectors or powered (fog lighting?)

FWIW - I'm getting the carbon fiber version from Getty Design.
