If the headlights changed along with the 996 mk2 that year that bumper will not work.

996mk2 headlights changed specifically because people were bitching about the cars looking the same.

Yeah, not worried about whether it will fit or not, wondering about installing a "repaired" bumper.

I do think it's the .1 boxster aero bumper which is unique to the boxster, unlike the .2 and I like the way it looks.

Considering how much the 996 aero bumper is new right now, I'm leaning towards just doing it, just wanted outside opinions.

Rose passion for 996 aero is offering best prices shipped to the US around $2k depending upon dollar value
everyone I asked in the US offered me a BS line

It would would be reasonable to assume as a byproduct that there would be more aero kit 996.1 as a result.
arent you ignoring C4s?

Dave, don't remember what the original question was for the post, but a guess would be on the number of aerokits for the 996.1 and 996.2. C4S wouldn't be included in the numbers since it doesn't have an aerokit per se.

sorry I meant C4’s not C4S’s. Your totals only included C2’s.

Rose Passion quoted me $1800 shipped to pdx so I’m all over that (the used .1 boxster bumper got snagged while I haggled for $1100 shipped). The GT3 bumper will look awesome and new is better.

Not that anybody in this thread is necessarily interested, but figured an update on the market might be helpful in case any of you with epic aero kits ever damage your front bumper.
