Post 911 GT2 front end for boxster

What do you guys think of this, I am thinking about getting it for my boxster.

Got to get new wheels first though, I hate the factory 17s.

I gotta say, I kinda like it. I'm not one for deviating far from the factory's designs, really. But I do think that one looks pretty good. I think the regular turbo look is awful, unless you do it right with new 996 lights and all like Rami did. Personally, I think I'm gonna go with an early GT3 style front bumper. I think that just looks awesome!

I like the GT3 front end as well and its alot cheaper than the GT2. NR is saying that GT2 will list for $1795. You can get a GT3 front end for about $850 to $950 new.

I just wonder if its worth the extra $1000 for the GT2? I think the TTP one would look alot better it if had clear litronic headlights.

The NR part looks like it has bad fit (look at left edge near turn signal. Color match is terrible (not their fault)

Have you seen the one on the LL Tek website, it is pretty nice too.

imho, the gt2 is far worth the cost. The aero looks way too much like stock to make it warrant the dough. I do like the nr/pp/ttp one but that lltek one looks hokey.
