Default Buying OEM 997 body parts...

Specifically front bumpers and rear deck lids -- I have found some on eBay and a couple online wreckers...question is: is it possible to buy new OEM parts online? Or hell, I would even buy from the dealer.

If anyone has any ideas please let me know, thanks in advance.

Of course you can buy new OEM parts online.

You can do better with certain dealers. Here on Rennlist the favorites (for the best prices) are:

Florida: Suncoast
Oregon: Sunset

What year and model deck lid do you need? I have a 2009 C2S lid sitting in the garage.

Hey guys,

I recently bought an 06 C2S that came with an aero kit -- part of me is leaning towards bringing it back to stock if its not too pricey.

switch911 - You could definitely sell the aero-kit parts on here and likely arrange a swap with whomever buys them. I personally do not like the wing on these cars - not even crazy about it on the GT cars.

Morning Cairo,

Thats the thing, I am not even worried about selling aero-parts -- might even just keep them for if/when I sell the car. But I am with you, I want the car back to stock eventually. Originally I was looking for a car with no racey bits but it was an amazing deal so I could not pass it up.
