Glad to hear re: the fitment. Your car looks great!!

Below is a bit of a rant, so feel free to skip it.

In regard to the 'steepness' of the price:

From purely a production standpoint, a bumper is a bumper. Sure, it cost more to buy a GT2 bumper from Porsche to make the mold. However, once you have the mold produced, the cost to reproduce is about the same.

Assuming this is chop mat sprayed on fiberglass (the type used to make 99% of bodykits on ebay), it would cost roughly the same to make as a honda civic front bumper

On top of that, the mold is most likely cheaper as they pull 100s of copies off the civic mold, so it would need to be much stronger (more $$).

Thats is the only reason I said these bumper were extremely steep in price when compared with production cost. These guys can charge whatever they wants since I guess they 'cornered' the market in boxster bumpers.

If there was more competition (more ppl making ans elling boxster stuff), these bumpers would be selling for $200-$300 like every other fiberglass bumper on ebay.
