Why not the GT3 bumper?

Probably because it would look slightly odd if you stopped there...the GT3 bumper is part of a whole aerodynamic package. Perhaps an early 996 front bumper would be an option? Subtle change, but attractive if you feel the need to revise.

Bumper Options

Hey that GT3 bumper picture is my bumper, I bought it and it's painted and sitting on my car at the body shop waiting for the rest of the car to be finished. I went ahead and added the Aerokit II side skirts to go with it (factor $1500 more painted and installed).

Does the seal grey car with the full aerokit belong to someone on here? I've seen a few pictures of it before and mine will look similar when done, just minus the wing and the Techart wheels.

I've seen the early 996 (pre-02) bumpers used on 986's, Pedro did that after the road gator got his front end. That doesn't require much and they can't be hard to find. Those work for both Base and S models. The 03-04 bumpers will work if you like the styling and would be the same situation as the 996 bumper. The guy I bought my GT3 bumper from had an 03 base model bumper to sell as well, don't know what he would want for it or if he still has it, but it was already painted black so you'd need it repainted. If the classified ad is still up for my GT3 bumper you could contact him and see. He's located in a suburb of Atlanta. So it's at least on the East Coast.
