Front Bumper Replacement Where to Buy?

Anyone know of a great place to order a new front bumper for a 2002S in Artic Silver?

Thanks

Do you want a stock bumper or a different one? New or used?
If you don't mind used I have seen some great deals on eBay, and you can always check with a Porsche dismantler or in the classifieds. If you want a new one, the best place to look would be Sunset Imports, or your local dealer.

Thanks for the quick reply Rick. I just want to replace it with a stock bumper because the one on there now has some pretty deep curb scratches and pits and
dings. So I was thinking I would have to buy new because used would probably be in the same condition or mybe a little better. At one point, I was thinking of just filling in the pits with some bondo and and letting a paint guy do his magic.

I would get an estimate on repairing and repainting your current bumper. It is probably going to be cheaper once you consider the cost of the bumper + shipping, etc.
Depending on the severity of the dings, you could try using a hair dryer to correct them. I haven't tried it but have seen pictures of it doing a decent job.
