My new polyurethane font bumper is too flexible - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

As I posted a couple months ago, I'm getting a GT3 conversion to the front of my Box. It's closed to finished, but one thing I noticed when I took a look at it was the front bumper was EXTREMELY flexible. It could be pushed around, and if someone sat on it, they would probably sink in. I know polyurethane is supposed to be flexible, but is something missing for it to flex like this? I've never car bumper flex like that.

Is the bumper OEM? Aftermarket??

Its a 997 GT3 OEM bumper.

It cant be OEM. Hate to say it like that but really? I can help with problems but doesn't sound OEM, that shouldn't be a problem though. Add more and I can help.

mjstallion, is your Boxster a 986 or a 987? Will a 997 part fit on a 986?

I dont think a oem 997 part will fit on a 986 due to the headlights. Its poosible its a OEm style 997 GT3 bumper designed for the 986.
