anyone know what it would cost to do this if you did JUST the front bumper and left the lights alone...

i will likely be getting an ew bumper cover for my 986 and have thought of doing the 996 GT3 style bumper, like the bumper on trigems car or the bumper cover on the older 996's with the aero kits...they look a LOT like 986 bumpers but with a deeper set front lower lip... ...so my 986 lights will work just fine...

can you jsut get THAT ubmper cover and stick it on the car or are there all sorts of different fasteners/etc that would make it a $$$ job. my ins will liikely pay for the bumper cover.
