Default GT3 and/or Aero 1 front bumper confusion

Okay, I've called my local dealer and they've priced the aero 1 front bumper (part#: 996.505.988.01) at almost $3,000.00. I found a place online that says they sell that bumper but the part number doesn't match (part #996-505-983-02-G2X) so I'm not sure if they are scamming me or not. On top of that, I keep hearing people quote the GT3 front bumper (part # ???) at around $1,000 at the dealers.

Is my dealer overpriced or is the GT3 bumper cheaper than the aero 1 bumper? Does anyone have the part numbers for both of these? The LA Dismantler shows the factory aero 1 at around $850.00 but I've never seen an OEM one online anywhere close to this, they are usually around $2400.00.

Can anyone clear this up for me?

Thanks,
Nazz

Aftermarket at the dealers will run you close to $1K. Genuine from the dealer will run you $1500-2000. List is $2813 on it.

GT3 and Aero 1 are the same. Except the Aero does not have the cutout for the 3rd radiator done. You have to have it done yourself if you want the 3rd radiator upgrade done. The Aero1 is 996 505 980 02.

You can order it as the Carrera Aerokit Front Spoiler or the Cup Aerokit Front Spoiler. The Cup (GT3) will get you the 3rd rad cutout predone.

Hope this helps.

Does anyone have the GT3 part number for the '99-'00 cars?

Thanks,

I don't think its just the radiator holes.
I just purchased the GT3 MK1 bumper and was told by VENEK that there are two GT3 MK1 Bumpers. One (SuperCup?) is "much wider and longer" than the other so presumably the prices vary.
