Replacement front bumper 987.1 with a cooler OEM?
My front bumper is crazed and ugly after a car or xxx ever reversed into it at a supermarket. Came out to find my license plate hanging off.
So my thought (and a question to you all). Can I install a cooler front bumper cover that is OEM (I don't want a fiberglass after market)?

Might want to consider a Boxster front bumper - It's more rounded (with no lip at the bottom), and integrated foglights. I've seen it done once, and it looked half okay.
Otherwise, sticking with the OE Porsche sphere, you could go with a 997 front, but involves changing the front guards, and lights to 911 ones, which I think looks incredibly sharp and more complementary to the Cayman's flowing lines.

I didn't do this, its from 2 owners ago. It doesn't bother me. Some days I like it, others I don't.

OEM won't drastically change/improve the design language.
I went w a custom-made-to-order FRP aftermarket bumper (991.2 GT3RS) and suits the bodylines surprisingly well and looks OEM.
As far as I know, I have the only one in the world.
