Default GTS front bumper on 997 C4S

Hi. Have the opportunity to possibly change out my front bumper cover which has screw holes in it from front plates attached by the previous owner and thought about getting a new front bumper cover off the GTS instead of the C4S one. Figure it would just be a matter of sourcing one OEM of aftermarket and then having a reputable body shop remove the old one and put on the new one and respray the front. Car is Meteor Gray. Would need to re-do my Xpel front bra but that is an acceptable loss/remediation.

Any thoughts on fitment and whether this would be a simple/good mod? Anyone done it or similiar before? Tips? Warnings?

If you gotto change the whole front-end, I can't imagine the cost would be that different between OEM and GTS (or aerokit front-end)... cost them out, and I am sure they all fit fine.

I have done the facelift conversion on my 05 C2S to GTS Front bumper. The left and right grilles on the normal bumper and gts bumper were different on the part numbers. They are not expensive but I would advise to double check whether your old grilles will fit the gts bumper and I am certainly sure that they wont.

seskiyapan, i was thinking about doing the same thing as you to my 08 C2S. Can you tell me a bit more about your install? Any issues with mounting points? Did you have to use a harness for the LED lights? etc.
