Default Looking for 996 Cup Body Parts

Does anyone have a good condition late model 996 cup front bumper and left front fender they are looking to sell?

Thought I would check here first.

Thanks,

Steve

Fenders are just OEM 996, Sunset up in your area is probably your best source. The cup front bumper is rarely available used and snapped up quickly when published. Heck I'd buy another if I could find one. Porsche Motorsports is probably your only option and they're not cheap unfortunately.

PS: You can use the street GT3 front bumper and make the radiator cut-outs on top yourself, that's if you can find one...

Thanks for the tips. I am glad to know that the fenders are OEM 996. I probably would have missed that and ordered from PMNA which I am sure would have cost me plenty.

The street 996 fender might need the lip to be rolled in order to match the Cup fender.

Aftermarket fiberglass bumpers seem like a cheaper way to go. Besides the radiator holes you also need the tow hook right?

Except they shatter on even slight impact. The poly ones from Motorsports deflect much more...
