Easiest way to tell is pick it up...If it flexes then it OEM most likely. The fiberglass is real stiff and does not have much flex to it. Also the picture is the MK1 GT3 which went from 99-01. The 2002 year started with a MKII Bumper which will not fit on our cars and if it does then its fiberglass....

Let me know if i can be of more help.

The inside of the bumper had some fiberglass material frayed, but the inside of the bumper wasn't entirely covered. I looked for the serial number, but I couldn't find one. On the spots where the paint was chipped off, the plastic of the bumper was nice and smooth. The bottom has somewhat of an aluminum skid plate (I'm curious if this comes stock with the real GT3s). The front side doesn't have a hole opening like OEM usually has. What do you guys think? Is this real? or purely fiberglass.


MORE INFO:

The seller said that he was told, from the original owner, that it came off of a 2004 GT3 that was recently totalled. I didn't believe him because I remembered seeing the 04's with the newer lights. After a couple days he contacted me to tell me that he made a mistake. He said that that he recently confirmed again with the original owner that it was a 2002 GT3. At this point, I think the seller is lying because after doing some research, I noticed that the 04 GT3's have the turbo lights. It is the 99-01 that seem to have the same lights as our Boxsters.
