Default GT3 RS Front Bumper Cover?

Folks,
Any ideas where I might be able to buy a GT3 RS front bumper cover. They seem to be getting a little rare. Part # is 996 505 980 92 900. I'm looking for the OEM part.

Thanks for the time.

He's not showing one any longer. Shipping and customs is a bit of a pain, not to mention the weakness of the dollar against the euro. I'd like to get the bumper cover stateside if possible.

Thanks,

Curt

2nd what mooty said. Since you are central, shipping would be roughly the same to you from either Austin or Bob. But both of them can get what you need.

Found it on Gert's site, thank you. $2,254 at the present conversion rate.

Don't forget shipping (if not included) and the stupid import tax that you will have to pay plus a surcharge on top of that to FedEx.

$2254 seems steep. I picked mine up from Austin at TRG a few months ago for $1300ish. He had it in stock, so there was no PDX charge. No shipping on mine, but it's a big box, so shipping might be steep.

Found the part in the US thru local dealer. $2,204 list price less 10% PCA discount. The GT3 RS wing comes painted in Carrara White from the factory.

Thanks for the info!

Have you called Austin or Bob??? It's your money, but if you want to overpay just think of the extra stuff you could have bought with the savings!

Do they come painted in the GT3 RS colour? I've been quoted 2000 USD for a respray on mine via a UK Porsche dealer, think a new one would be cheaper!

They come primer. You can get them painted for 5-600 USD. I had my last one done that very way. NOt a RS one but a MkI GT3 one for my 996CAB.

Hmm just checked carnewal and says it comes in c-white, which is presumably the factory GT3 RS colour Carrara white.
