Bumper Cover Interchange ?
Hello,
Will an '04 911 GT3 bumper cover bolt-on to an '03 Boxster S without modification?

The Inet search results are not consistent with this question so I'm looking for some real-world experience.

Thanks,
Morgan

I mean yeah, it would fit on the car but then your headlights wouldn’t.

The fenders in the early and late 996s are different owing to the headlight revision, which also extents to the headlight mounting plates as well.

The early 996 and GT3 bumper covers compatible. As mentioned, the 'facelift' 996.2 have a different headlight design.



There's a couple old threads on the forum about doing the whole front end swap.
