I happened to be lucky enough to buy a Boxster aerokit front bumper and sideskirts off ebay for a pretty good deal. I like the 996 aerokit, but the Boxster aerokit is just a bit less common and IMO looks really good. hard to tell in this photo but it's lower and edgier on the sides that the standard front bumper cover, similar to the 996 GT3 style.

Looks great. Such an improvement over the standard bumper. I don't think i've ever seen a Boxster in person with that bumper before.

It's the same bumper I have on my car, the silver pic I uploaded on the other thread. It does make the car stand out.

So to follow up with all this - if anyone finally decides they want to buy the Aero I kit to get the front bumper cover, let me know and I'll buy the other half of the kit.

If it's an Aero I kit, I'm definitely interested in side skirts and rear deck lid/spoiler, or whatever combo comes with it.

Well then... so the Aerokit II also comes with the center opening blocked off. I stand corrected once again

Since y'all have been talking about this topic, I found a factory 986 aero I (front bumper only) for $300 locally with scuffs on one of the lower corners. The color does not match my 986's color so I'd have to get it painted anyway. What price range should I expect to pay to paint it in basalt metallic black? Is it still a good deal? Is it a good idea to install it without the side skirts? If not, how much do the side skirts go for?

it won't make any functional difference to install it without the side skirts.

$300 is a good deal assuming it is OEM and in good condition. To have a quality paint job done I'd guess ballpark $500-1000 supplies and labor
