Default 987 GT4 Style bumper - No more gatekeeping

I've seen so many builds online rocking GT4 style bumpers but every owner I reach out to just will not share where they get it. So after much digging...
I have found Van Thull Development (VTD) in Lith, Netherlands that is making GT4 style bumpers for 987.1 and 987.2 Cayman models.
They quoted me €850 for the bumper with splitter in fiberglass. Shipping comes out to €900
Attached are several Anema Racing cars, they have a few more if you look up their Instagram. As you'll see the bumpers look fantastic and clearly hold up under hard driving.
Living in the United States shipping is costly, the bumper prices are very fair and I'm seriously considering getting one.
They offered to lower the cost and it save on the shipping fee from Netherlands to USA if I purchased 3 or more.
Would anyone else be interested in a group buy

$2g+ for a fiberglass bumper? they look cool and all but that money, at least for me, would be better spent on other areas of the car.

Alternative option in fiberglass or Carbon: Cayman Bumpers, Splitters 987/981 – Getty Design LLC

Getty is well-known and serves many track enthusiasts. A friend purchased this and it looks great after cleaning it up and painting.

My car is dialed in the way I like it. Now I'm on to the aesthetics. With the radiator upgrades I think it makes sense to increase my air flow too. So, win win?

If wasn't for the shipping these would be a steal of a price. Which is why if a few more people were on board we'd all be getting it cheaper than Getty. Who makes fantastic products by the way. But their version isn't exactly the way I'd like mine. And the steep cost even before shipping turned me away too.

It looks great, but is there a way to utilize it with the center radiator on the 987? The 987 center radiator vents out the bottom: can it be modified to vent out the top, or would this just be cosmetic?

Here's instructions for top venting on a 997: https://rennlist.com/forums/997-foru...m_content=post
And a 987 owner who did the same with just a smiley cut out: https://www.speedhunters.com/2017/01...iator-install/
