Will a 2004 GT3 bumper fit on our boxsters? My friend knows someone that is selling one, but I need to know if it will fit. Anyone? Thanks.

only if you spent another $5,000 to change the headlights, fenders and wiring for the healdights. It has been done to Boxsters that have been totalled in a front impact.

Allot of guys with the 1999-2001 911 do this its called a "face lift". Makes sense since if you can find used parts, it will helps sell the car.

p.s.
TriGem get some bumper plugs for that thing already!
some use the trunk carpet interior fasteners (Home Depot or pepboys), sanded and painted with touch up paint.

Why do i need to change the fenders to use the turbo headlights?

our Fried egg headlights and the Turbo headlights are completely different shapes, thus the opening for the headlights are different shapes as well.
