Default Which Aero Bumper is this?

Somebody backed into my car. Bastards. I'm looking for an aerokit or gt-3 bumper to do now and I'll get the sideskirts and wing later. Any suggestions on on where to go other than Suncoast or Departstop? Anyone know how much a regular 3.4 996 front bumper cover goes for from a competitive dealer?

TIA
Here's the link:

Umm, that looks like a Boxster front bumper. No opening for the third radiator. Plus, notice the 986 xxx xxx xxx part number.

Russ,
I have a used 99 996 MKI aero bumper if you are interested. I think new ones are about $1200. I'll sell the one I have for $300+shipping. It was on my racecar for a year so the black paint is pitted but overall it would be a pretty good deal. PM if you would like pitures. It's just taking up room in my garage now.

I would jump on that Russ! $300 plus the cost of shipping and paintwork is a steal. That's very generous Jim!!!!

I guess the bumpers are interchangeable, eh? Jim, pm sent.
Dell, thanks.

You can put a 996 bumper on a Boxster but a Boxster bumper may not work too well on a 996 because it lacks the opening for the third radiator -- not good if you have a Tiptronic or want to add the third radiator later (if you track the car).

JimB, that was a great offer on the MKI Aero front bumper. My loss as Russ was first in line.
