show me pics of front bumpers
 

To my eye my 2002 S standard front bumper looks a little bland. I believe front bumper covers from 996 from 1999 - 2001 will fit is that correct ? Is there a OEM 986/996 front bumper cover that looks a little sportier ? And then what about aftermarket ? GT2 styling seems nice but what else ? Any pics in arctic silver a plus. With my soon to be installed headlights ( thanks particlwave/Fred ) it might be time for a front end makeover. :D

I think you'll be surprised at how much different the headlights will make the whole front end look ;)

That said, the aerokit 1 is a pretty slick OEM look (check out Tommy's).
halfway down the page...

I've never actually posted a picture of my car here, so I'm overdue. I'll try to get a pic for this thread. i have a 2002 lapis blue s. After having my radiators cleaned and having the mechanic show me half of a box of debris, I ordered a set of the black zunsport grills. I have to say, I love the way that they make the front bumper look!

Heli what bumper and side skirts are on your box?

Here's the front end of the factory Aerokit II. As far as I can tell, it's a 996 bumper cover. I've seen the same one on a local GT3.

996 gt3 style

Another idea.

Like Charles said, wait until you get your headlights. The 986's front-end looks completely/shockingly updated with those CGT style headlights in there.

Arrrgggg, jealous :mad:

So these grilles fit the stock S front bumper openings ? All three openings or just the side two ? Do you have part numbers or a link ? Picture would be great. Thanks

I do like that 996 GT3 style front bumper a little more aggressive look without looking rice ( no offense ) . I'm just thinking ahead I will install the new lights and go from there. Thanks guys.

That is the OEM '03 front bumper. I plasti dipped the horizontal intakes and those are the Aerokit 1 side skirts.

OK I just did a search on zunsport grilles..........woof I want ! :D Very nice addition to the front end. So now the decision, on a arctic silver car go with black grilles to stand out against the silver or go with the polished and blend in a little more ? Thinking about adding the GT3 Tek lower lip spoiler which would be black. So many decisions so little cash :(

I looked at the Zunsport grills but were a bit more than I wanted to spend. Mine are a bit less expensive and I like the look of the mesh behind the grills.
