Thanks for those. I've checked with NR Auto before and they seem to have nice bodykits (including the GT2 front), but they're made of FRP. If I'm going to pay $1500 for an unpainted bumper, I wish it was poly/plastic. There needs to be more producers of nice body kits that doesn't come in crappy fiberglass type quality. Argh.

The lip spoiler portion of the 996 turbo front bumper (not sure about the GT2) can take a beating on the FRP constructed bumper. It's like a hard rubber...I have one on my Boxster, and I've nailed it a few times, and it's fine. If you guys are interested in the NR Auto ones, let me know, I can do a group buy for you there. Mod/Admin, feel free to remove this post if it is against any rules, but I have an account there, and I can hook up a bumper group buy if you guys want.

Very gracious of you to offer. I think I may pass on FRP. From what I've been told, it's basically just a fancier name for what is commonly called fiberglass. $1500-2000 really is a lot to stake on fiberglass, IMO.

Yup I think you're right. I have a '00 unfortunately. I think the poly one runs $2k+. Ouch!
