Syder, check this sight out. I could be mistaken about what they are selling/advertising.

Plus the after market ones that are sold for the Boxster are molded with our mounting points, assuring proper fitment.

Gotcha! The first three or four are for our headlight setup. I didnt know the 996 had different mounting points. I thought they were interchangeable.

You are correct, 99-01 996 bumpers should be interchangeable with the 97-04 Boxster, same mounting points.
The Mashaw prices look reasonable, but some of their bumpers are just copies of Porsche OEM bumpers. If they're fiberglass copies, then I'd lean more towards getting the polyurethane OEM version for a perfect fit.

What he just said. Yep, 02 and newer 996/997 front pumpers won't work because the different shape headlights cut into the top part of the bumper not allowing the fitment for our Boxsters. 99-01 will work because they are the same shape and mounting points.
