I personally think it’s one of the nicest bumpers in the Porsche family and it’s designed To work with a third rad which is another reason to get it. I thought about getting the Techart front splitter but for $1500 it still didn’t solve the extra cooling I’m looking for. Cheers
Thanks. It’s stated in a few posts in this thread that it’s polypropylene. It’s on sale now at ECS. I have a GTS so it already includes a third radiator.

thanks for the positive feedback on the ECS kit fitment and quality. Sorry for all the questions but the website shows a picture of a rear diffuser but doesn’t mention it in the included parts list. Is it included in the kit? Is it a GT4 replica and does it come with the mesh? Both Bayson R and ECS kits are similar but if ECS includes a diffuser that is probably the the best bang for the buck.

No worries. Ask all you want. Answer is yes to all your questions below. I wasn’t sure on the diffuser as well being included but it is. Two other people I know who ordered this got the gt4 diffuser as well. It’s in a box of its own included in the big box.

on a separate note you will be ready to
burn the car when you attempt the oem diffuser uninstall. Lol!

look at the GT4 bumper thread on planet 9 for details of parts needed. It requires some work.

You have 2 options:

1. GTS center radiator - this is smaller than the GT4 radiator and will require you to buy the mounting frame, radiator hoses, etc. but the air duct will not work with the GT4 bumper and the GT4 air duct will not fit this. I chose to leave out the air duct. This configuration vents down for hot air to go out via holes in the under tray. You will have to make these 4 square holes in the GT4 undertray. Takes 5 mins to do that ( see comparison picture below between the gts undertray and gt4 undertray. Just cut the same holes in the GT4 undertray if you go with the gts radiator)



2. GT4 center radiator - this is wider than GTS radiator. You will need to get the gt4 radiator frame, new GT4 bumper impact bar, new AC lines, hoses and GT4 center air duct. Definitely a lot more $$$$. This configuration vents the hot air upwards from the mesh opening.

for parts I use getporscheparts.com. Cheapest option I could find.

Don’t buy that kit because you can’t use the center duct with the GT4 bumper but you will be paying for it. Instead get kart numbers for the other items and order from getporscheparts. You will save a lot. I can send you dimensions for the 4 holes when you get your kit and are ready to cut. I basically overlaid one over the other and marked with a marker to cut. It was a rough cut using seemed, nothing pretty but who cares .

Hey Chris sorry to hijack the thread lol, You made me spend the money by the way so this is on you , That one post made me do all this jeez... This is the way ( in mandolorian )
I hope this whole install project of the Bumper and 3rd rad contribute to what you are looking for as well.
