Hi, i bought one of the essentialstyling turbo look front bumpers and wasnt impressed at all. I paid £606 for it and was annoyed to find it was cheap F/G and didnt even fit. I had to sand it down to fit the boxster, anyways i didnt like it so i sold it on ebay for around £200 so i lost £400.00 in 2 month.

If you want my advice, stay well away from the turbo look and try ordering a 996 turbo bumper and mod it. I was going to sell it to scott on this forum but couldnt as i didnt want to sell him it as it wouldnt be fair so i stuck it on ebay as bids from £10.00 no reserve. and got £200 to a body repair shop.
Make sure you REALLY wanna do it as if you aint 100% you will never like it and its alot of money to waste.

I must also add, i have seen the bumper on other boxsters and it looks great, but its alot of hassle getting to that stage and for me it wasnt worth it. Big mistake for me that cost me a lot of money.

essential styling are a good company and Simon the salesman is great, but the F/GLASS bumpers just dont fit right and never feel right. Stay with plastic!

hope this help...
