Don't forget the original aerokit II (GT3) bumper. It's an OEM part so there won't be any fitting issues.

i like that aero kit one. if you add that along with those side skirts - it looks VERY nice and it still has an OEM look.
the other ones, further up in the thread - look more aggressive - maybe a bit "too" aggressive for my taste. some things look good on a 911 that (to me) don't look good on the Boxster.
but beauty is in the eye of the beholder - depends on what you want.
why are you changing the bumper - b/c it's full of rock chips, dents, is damaged, or is it fine and you just want a "new look"? if you want a new look - then you might WANT the more "aggressive' bumpers as they definitely look "modified". even car guys that don't knwo anythign about Porsches will probably know those GT3/etc style bumpers are NOT stock and you upgraded. the aero one looks stock - it's just different than what you have.

I really like this CTR bumper. Does it actually say Caracter on the bottom left as this is a knock off right? Nice ride!

yes it does say Caractere and it is actually on the bottom right, it is identical to the original at a fraction of the cost

Avoid GT Motorsports products. I've not been happy with the side skirts or the speedster humps. Fit, finish, and overall quality was sub-par.
I love that xtreme bumper. Is it poly or FRP?

I do like the Aerokit II look although I haven't found a place where I can get a pair of sideskirts and the GT3 bumper at a reasonable price. Any suggestions? BTW I do not mind getting a knock off so as to avoid spending for 4 G's for the OEM AeroKit.

Be cautious when buying copies of body kits. I have a friend who is an importer of auto parts, most of these copies are made in the same place(country)- they are often repackaged here in the USA(mostly in Ca.) and given different brands. Most of these copies are made in China/Taiwan and imported here in the USA in huge quantities , some of them have good quality and fit, BUT others are just simply sub par....These copies are often sold under different brands (with different price ranges), if you go online and search, you will notice that these bumpers, skirts are the same, and they use the same marketing pictures- buying these replicas are "hit and miss".......... IMO, If you find a good priced Original aftermarket, OEM kit, that is your best route. I bought a Used Original body (Techart) kit for my 996, the fit is just perfect! Original kit for a fraction of the price.

Why take the risk with aftermarket knock-offs when you can find clean used Original kits online. Try searching the For Sale Forum, i think there is a guy selling original Strosek body kit for a great price.
I got my used original Techart kit from a member of 6speedonline.
