Did you buy the GT3 deck assembly from Porsche?
How difficult was it to fit is to the original half boxster deck?

(Thanks for the comment on the front. I am not 100% happy with the way it fits but at this point it is what it is! The original got destroyed by some idiot uninsured driver who drove into my car while I was parked pumping gas!

Hi Make
Sorry for reply late
I didn't buy the GT3 deck assembly from Porsche( too expensive) Mind Is aftermarket. I didn't cut my boxster trunk at all. I only cut the GT3 deck and mounted on my boxster trunk, use fiber glass to make it one piece.

Hi Mr 8 Ball
Thank you for comments too
I did took my car to infineon raceway to test. But only drags. Before the hard top and spoiler on, I usually ran13.4 sec/104MPH but after I put on my spoiler and hardtop....the result became 14.1 sec/98MPH....
Ps. I did feel much more down force kicks in on the freeway high speed Stick on the road.

About that full black rims
That used to be silver too . I just use some wheel spray paint to make it full black.
Looks a bit more like track car

I really wish I could take my car to the track driving like you guys and not just drags. Because I understand boxster is not a drag car by our mid-engine perfect balance

Mystery solved... the front bumper isn't a GT3 RS bumper and it's not a modified 996 bumper. In fact it doesn't look modified at all except for paint and a lower lip tacked on. It's a GT Motor Sport (www.gtmotorsport.net) bumper:

NR Auto (www.nrauto.com) sells almost the same thing, except with vents at the top:

Looks better than in the GT website pics! SF986S why didn't you just tell folks what it was when they asked you???

Hi Kirk Thank you for the web info

However I wasn't get it from them.I don't even know there was a inc call GT Motor Sport. I found it from Ebay almost 2 years ago which I have already post the web add when Tommy asked. By the time they call GT3 RS style from bumper.
I did cut of some area to make both opening looks bigger and sanded off the bottom part to fit on S4 Lip.Also have different way to paint it.

KirK I am not sure what's your point by "why didn't you just tell folks what it was when they asked you". Because I have told them everything i know.

Thanks

Sorry man... you've just been real ellusive. You didn't say you were clueless as to where the bumper came from. The eBay link you provided was for lots of different bumpers, but not this one. Well now we know where it came from, or at least one possible source... That's cool because it looks good (especially with the paint job you did) and others might want to buy it for their ride.

No worry man
I am the one should say thank you! Thank you for all the info you provided
other wist I might still tell people this is a GT3 bumper when people asking.
I know there are still many thing for me to learn. That's why I joined here

The reason I believed that could be one of the GT3 bumper, cuz I saw this GT3 about 2 years ago when I went to local Euro meet and took this photo.... By the time, there were only two of this bumper for boxster on Ebay.Called GT3 RS style front bumper.
Once again thank you for solved the mystery

Sorry man, I'm confusing you even more! There's nothing wrong with calling it a GT3 style bumper. This style of bumper was originally made for the turbo-style headlight 996. Before that the GT3 bumper made for the fried egg headlight 996 (like the headlights we have on our cars) was called the GT3 MK1 bumper. If you look at the pictures of front bumper on my car you'll see one of these. I have an OEM GT3 MK1 front bumper. The picture you just posted is a 996 with the turbo-style headlights and what's called the GT3 MK2 bumper. The GT Motor Sport fiberglass bumper is most clearly a copy of this GT3 MK2 bumper except modified to work with our fried-egg headlights. So GT3 style? Yes, just like the GT3 MK2. GT3 RS style? No, that's a completely different bumper that I posted pictures of earlier.
