Default Is anyone selling a GT2 bumper?

Just as the title says, is anyone selling one?

I’ve tried PP AND NR, both would have to have one made—which would take several weeks.

I've always wondered where would be the best place to get one.

NR Auto is pretty good for the price. Not great, but okay for the only poly rep. PP makes a nice fit, but it's glass. OEM is $ 5,800 for cover and upper grille only last I checked. I have a carbon/kevlar one that's near OE (made by OEM supplier to Porsche). Parts are getting more expensive and tougher to get from the OE. Real hard to find gt2 original decklids.

I couldn't find a decent used one when I was looking. I used the Precision Porsche one for mine. Tony was easy to work with and keeps his word regarding when it will be completed. And according to the body shop that did the installation, all the stock GT2 ductwork and stuff behind it lined up well, and it needed minimal prep for paint. I also used his lower rockers.

I have a Precision Porsche Techart front bumper and Type 2 wing I will be selling soon. Both are ready to go, just haven't listed.

The bumper has been painted arctic silver and currently wrapped blue.

The wing has been prepped for paint but otherwise unpainted.

I bought a spare front OEM GT2 bumper last year. The cover was about $4500. Probably over $5K now. The supporting ducting and other parts for it are about $3k. The rear decklid and wing are $13-18K depending on whether you get the standard or carbon wing.

Yea, last I checked it's now $5,800 for cover and upper grille. And decklids are non-existent. I'd sell mine, but no one is willing to pay a premium for nice parts. Go figure.
