Picked this up recently and just recently got to snap a couple pics of it all painted and on the car. I love the look!

WOW! Is your car orange!

LOL...I noticed that. Its a new camera and I don't know if its the lighting or the camera. Here's a pic of it w/the old camera. This is a much truer look of the car.

looks nice man, good job.
did you end up getting one in same color, or did you have to get it painted?
i was considering a new bumper, but after lowering the car even this one is wayyy too low

I bought a used one off of ebay for like $20 (can you believe that?) and had a friend paint it for me for $40. All in all...I'm really happy w/my money spent and even got to clean out the radiator area lol

How much lower does it sit than the stock bumper?

Am I missing something here?? It is a stock bumper isn't it? What is the true color of this car, red or orange?

It's a stock bumper for a 99-01 996, not a Boxster,Car is red.. my favorite color

(In post #1, Post #3 is indeed the stock bumper)

Looks great!
Wish I could find me an 02+ GT3 bumper for 70 bucks!
