Talking Finally got a FACE LIFT!

Hey Guys -

Posting my first pics of my '00 boxster on the forum. I finally got a minute to take some pics of my updated '03 front & rear bumper assembly, litronic headlights, updated tail lights, etc. Makes a huge difference, looks a lot newer!

Also notice the body shop used a rear bumper that must not have been from the US - as it didn't accomodate the bumperettes. I'm loving the look without them! (Just being extra careful though...!)

Next up is the GAHH top, new rims, sport exhaust tip and whatever else I dream up

Thumbs up

Sweet!, now I gotta get me a set of those '03/04 halogens. The new '03 bumper looks good. Probably your rear bumper was a euro that hadn't been cut out for the bumperette hangers. I just painted my bumperettes and I am pleased with the results.

I guess you had to get an '03 spoiler too. I like the back. Looks good.

Sweet Deal, I did the 03-04 rear bumper about a year back. It changes the entire car I think, but i opted for the GT3 front end. What parts did you replace on the rear exactly? I did mine myself and was able to save a few bucks by reusing some of the parts from the 01.

The painted bumperettes look good but can't compare to yours. That is a clean look, I love the rear bumper! Congrats.

Thanks for the comments guys!

For those of you wanting to know costs... I wish I knew exactly! I actually had some bad luck, getting hit by people the first 6 months I had the car. Sooo, when I got hit in the front - I said slap on a new '03 bumper! When I got hit in the back, I said slap on a new '03 bumper + spoiler. The shop of course charged me for extra parts, but not the extra labor, which was cool - and the insurance paid for the bumpers, etc. I paid somewhere around 750 bucks for all the extra parts on the rear bumper assembly, heat shields, etc... and also for the spoiler setup - kinda steep... but I just had to do it!

I was telling them to paint my bumperettes as well.. but LOVE not having them at all. super clean.

:dance:

How much do those 03 front bumpers go for?

Is it just bolt on? or is modification required?


BTW, hot car man...
