GT3 bumper cost?
 

I have an opportunity to buy a second hand OEM GT3 MK1 bumper, the seller wants $1200 and it comes without the bottom lip.

Is this an okay price? I must confirm from Porsche, but the last time I checked, the bottom lip was going to cost around the $200 mark. The last cost will be re-spraying to my colour.

Am I wasting money?

If you get to appreciate the way the bumper looks on the car then it's not a waste of money. It's all relative. As long as you like it. Some folks will spend on wheels, body kit, watches, fine wines...

I like the look but I cannot justify that amount for a bumper at this time - got 3 young kids running around the house that I need to save for so I will have to wait.

just enjoy & then you can always sell it later it you decided to move on to something else!!

I'm looking at getting a GT3 front bumper cover and it's going to cost around $1800 + freight shipping (probably around another $200). So, if you can get one for $1200, I would jump on it!

I've spotted them on eBay for half that, but they don't come up all that often for that cheap. I guess it depends on how bad you want it and how long you're willing to wait, but they can be had for less.

I was lucky to find a OEM 996 GT3 front bumper for sale on this forum two years ago. It even was painted the same color as my car ( Arctic silver ) . It had an aftermarket rubber spoiler total price was 1200.00 . I have recently replaced the rubber spoiler with a Porsche Motorsport spoiler lip and yes it was 200.00 . I really like the OEM fit and look of this front end. But be warned you will then want to do rocker covers and possibly the rear bumper......... I did :D

Pics, or it didn't happen!

I haven't taken any pics of the lower spoiler lip but here is the GT3 front bumper.

This looks great!

The pics I posted were with the rubber spoiler lip the previous owner had installed. But it basically just stuck down vs. protruding forward. The motorsport lip I just installed projects forward with a nice wrap around curve on the sides and ends up flush at the wheelwells. Looks much sportier and should help a little bit at high speed.

thanks for the link! its seems like it's in pretty bad shape but could possibility be fixed? thoughts?

Thanks for all the advice and opinions, all good!

I have opted to go for a RSS UD pulley and IPD plenum that amounts to the same cost more or less- please comment... I figured I could live with my bumper for the time being and when I do want to do it, the one I have in mind will most likely still be for sale- we don't have much of a market in South Africa for parts like these. I also have the opportunity for my buddy to bring the mentioned parts back from the US for me, that way I save on shipping etc.

Here some pics of my current modified S bumper.
