Default Replacement Bumper Cover

So I found a way to damage the bumper cover on my 2007 997.1 C2S (Black). At this point it's not something I want to repair so I'm looking for options. I'm not opposed to an OEM stock replacement as I hadn't planned to touch the rear of the car just yet, and I'd like to keep the proportions right. But I'm also the type of person that if I have to replace something, why not upgrade.

So question, where is the best, and cheapest place to find an OEM replacement other than Ebay, tried there and most are banged up pretty bad.
Or, what aftermarket cover do you guys like? I'm hoping to land somewhere between $1000-$2000 after paint, if possible.

Thanks for the help!!

Mike

I'm really open to anything providing it has a decent fit. I haven't done a ton of research until now but do know that the GT3 cover carries an additional lip around the entire from fender. It's details like that that i'm unfamiliar with.

Would you happen to have a link to the aero bumper?

Thanks!

Looks great with the black lip against the black spats!

Thanks! To me, the whole "look" is enhanced with the aerokit. Really happy with the aggressive appearance. The front spoiler does get scraped on inclines and thresholds a lot.

not knowing what damage you have, buying a aft mkt part is never recommended, look in the parts for sale here, then;
