Are you saying replacing the entire bumper cover on a GT4 is $2500 with paint and labor? That's way better than on GT3. Surprising, given similar shape and size (although it's not that GT4's is cheap but Gt3's is strangely expensive). Is that for a new bumper or a take-off?

That is for a new nose and splitter. Quality Automotive in Cincinnati did the work and the parts were ordered through Porsche of the Village. I saw the parts in the boxes. All new. I was a bit amazed by the price.

^^^ I guess they price the parts accordingly to the value of the car. If that's the case, certainly surprises me.

Re the GT4.

It looks like with 981 cars Porsche does not price the sportdesign bumper or the GT4 bumper higher than vanilla.

In the 991 world the $3000 price for the option is reflected in the parts price. For 981 it is not.

That's interesting. If you want the sport design bumper on your cayman, you can have it cheap. If you bounce the nose of your GT4 you can have it cheap, in the GT3 you can not.

I track a viper ACR. What do you suppose that front carbon fiber piece would cost you?
