I'm in the same boat regarding finding an aero front bumper. Do you mind sharing what the cost was for shipping? and which site? Thanks

Searching on google and finding dealers / parts distributors that indicate they carry the bumper does not equate to them having them in stock ready to sell. Ask me how I know.

The other pricing issue to consider when sourcing in the US is either sales tax or shipping.

Again, pleasantly surprised to find the bumper in the UK and that after adding in shipping to the US, was cheaper than any bumper I could find in the US when you add in tax or shipping.

Can you share where in the UK you ordered the aerokit bumper from? I'm in the same boat, trying to track one down in the US and I cannot find any.

FVD and a few others make an exact copy of the OEM aero bumper. At some point, I hope Porsche does a run of full aero kits for the 997.2. But that won't be for a few years, there will sell them as classic parts for lots of money, like they do for the air cooled parts.

I know this post is almost a year old, but does anyone have their OEM 997.1 pumber cover for sale? I'd like the Aero version, but I'm in need of a quick fix. Thanks!
