WINNER!!!...much much better. I'd buy that one if I didn't already have factory aero on my car.

Wow, that is not bad, not bad at all!!
if I want a "Factory look" kinda guy would have be tempted!

htny

That is very nice! I didn't think about how my center radiator would look though, very obvious with this bumper!

Han,

You could put some black mesh screens in the openings. You'll be protected and look "kewl" at the same time!

I like it in that it's not too close to the 997 GT3 - it's a modified bumper with good lines.

I like the one without the vents better both in terms of looks, and also price. I'm looking for something like that for the race car I'm building, but honestly even at the lower price, I still find these things too expensive for my tastes.

I don't know if it's because I haven't seen too many after market bumper kit besides 996 aero / GT3 bumpers but I find them out of place. The openings look really like they were added and don't fit the rest. Why try to reinvent the wheel when the best look is GT3 bumper with cup splitter. Sorry Rhonda, I like what you're doing but not these bumpers. I always laugh at the kids with old BMW E36 trying to fit E46 M3 after market bumper......

Tim - I have a preference for chicken wire and flat black rustoleum, personally, but one of those diamond cut looking fancy grills might be nice if it could be made dark enough!

Diamond lath. Glavanized steel. Takes paint. Get it at any home improvement store that sells stucco.
I am not saying this will look good though.

htny

hahaha, I'll see if they have these stucco stores you speak of in London

Or I could vandalize a bentley grille and smuggle it back, might be a little tough stowing it securely in the overhead lockers but hey, you want quality you gotta work for it.

I think www.performanceproducts.com sells a stainless mesh in their stores. You may have to call though.

CWay27,

No worries. I completely respect your opinion. Personally, I have decided to put the GT3 rear bumper on my 987 S but the look really compliments the Boxster's center exit muffler. By the way it's wonderful to be called a kid although I don't think that I ever grew up....

CWay27

Rhonda, if you drive a Porsche and you hang around the list, you definitely qualify for a forever kid at heart. In my previous post I was talking about the front bumper but I agree that the rear bumper on a boxster looks kinda cool but what did you match it with for the front??

Rhonda@FVD

CWay27,

Personally, Similar to your stance that the perfect front bumper on a 996 is a 996 GT3 with a cup splitter....I feel that the original 987S front bumper with the Aero Kit / RS60 2 piece chin spoiler is perfect. I am also considering our GT3 front bumper though, as the lower "chin spoiler" is much more pronounced and will really help to take away that light front end feeling at high speeds. Either way I will eventually add the aerokit rear "spoiler" as mixing and matching downforce is not my cup of tea. But the suspension mods are first and foremost....
