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.
