Boxtaboy, those are very real concerns. I know on the GT3 MK1 bumper it will fit the rubber radiator shrouds perfectly on the '07 - '04 Boxsters. The same would be true for the Boxster aerokit bumpers. Someone else was just selling a RUF front bumper for the Boxster and even though the bumper is quite different it came with rubber radiator shrouds to match it, which I believe is excellent engineering on RUF's behalf. Anything else I've seen the rubber shrouds do not match and it looks bad up close and maybe does not result in ideal cooling efficiency. There's a Gemballa front bumper that I LOVE, but which only fits the 911 Turbo style lights. I saw it recently on a friend's 911 and it looked bad up close precisely because there was no shroud or bottom cover, so it was just open underneath....
