Factory 996.1 GT3 (1999-2001) front bumper. I think I paid like $900. And the side skirting was aftermarket 996.2 GT3 (2002-2004) made of fiberglass, that style was not offered for the Boxster from the factory.

Personally, you want to avoid fiberglass if you drive the car a lot. I will be taking the car in for the 4th front bumper repaint soon. It it weren't factory polyurethane and fibgerglass instead, it wouldn't have made it this far. Anything that sits that low will eventually crash into a curb, high manhole cover, road construction, speed bump... to many things to crash into.
