The front bumper on my black 2002 boxster non s has seen better days. I took it to a body shop and they want $800 to recondition it and that is with me removing it myself.

I am hoping that I can retrofit a used bumper for much cheaper. First I was hoping to get some input from the members here on what my options are. The main question I have is what bumpers from which year and model will be a direct swap or swap with minor modifications? I am guessing the "S" bumper will go on without issue but what years? Also I have seen some talk of swapping 911 bumpers on but I don't want to have to change my fenders. I am not sure about Cayman but I have a lead on one if they fit.

Thanks guys. Any input, part numbers, links etc. would be appreciated.
