Hey I noticed this problem too. The easiest way around it and to get more clearance, is to remove the styra-foam white piece between the bumper and the Aluminum bar. It will allow for more play. I...

Thanks guys for the compliments. As for the install of the front bumper, make sure you test fit it first before you paint it. It will make things easier. You will definitely need and extra set of...

You asked for it. Here it is. As you can see from these side shots, the bumper does not stick out any further than the stock front bumper. Only the bottom lip does by a few inches for aerodynamic...

I bet your boxster is completely stock. That's okay. I win countless trophies at every car show I go to. Trust me, I know what looks good. This is what I do for a living. I'm a designer. But everyone...

Well, all I can say is this. Everyone who sees it in person likes it. The photos don't do my car any justice. I used a wide angle lense to take the pictures. I was trying to be artistic like always....

Well the shop I used was really good. So I can only give them all of the credit. The best way to color match any bumper is to either leave the whole car with the painter so they can match and blend...

I made them on my computer. Its another one of my custom jobs. They are 550 spyder racing stripes. I got the idea after seeing RUF's version of their 550 Spyder Kompressor.

That doesn't look bad. I just have a hard time with those shapes so close together. The more I see it, the more I like it. Like said I can always add them later. They aren't cheap. $199.00 per side!...

You can add the lights to this bumper. But trust me all that glas does not work with the shape of our headlights. It works great with the shape of the round 997 stock ones. And like I said if you...

I have rear diffusers. They are black carbon fiber so they are kind of hard to see. Next plan is to get the GT-3 rear bumper. :cheers:

Did you not scrole down to see the images of the REAL 997 GT-3 Cup cars with the headlight covers? Looks exactly the same. Look at the begining of this post they are on the first page. They cover up...

Okay, first the bumper and lower lip are removeable. They come bolted together, but you can seperate them once you get the bumper. As for the paint, no bumper will ever be sold as color matching...

Thanks! I think the best part is the fact that it's Urethane and not fiberglass like some of the others out there including my last GT-2 front end. Makes me feel better knowing it wont crack or fall...

WOW! You know you are right. I never even noticed the flare was only on the Cup GT version. I guess the after market is a hybrid of the two. It has the flares AND the air vents on the lip. I got my...

No I didn't take any straight on side views. Those shots look boring. I always try to take pictures where the car is "in your face." That may be why it looks like it is "overhanging" I like the artsy...

There is nothing weird about it. That's how all of the GT-3 bumpers look. Unless you paint it the same color of the car. Which then makes it look very different from the stock GT-3 look. But I have...
