99 boxster - Scraped front bumper on road debris - Recommendations on replacement?

[JoeFromPA]

Hi Kirk,

Thanks for your message. I am definitely fine with the front bumper getting rock chips, nicks, and even minor scrapes (the underside of mine is all scraped up already, even to the point of being visible from the front of the car). This road debris damage is, unfortunately, significantly marring to the side angle of the car. Some of the scrapes might be buffed out, but the damage itself involves some deep gouges. At the least, I'm going to evaluate my options....my comprehensive deductible is $250, and thus if I can get a new bumper cover nicely painted and attached for $250, I'll go for it.

I like that GT3 front bumper....nice aggressive look to it. Only slightly obnoxious, which means it's just right

Do you mind me asking how much yours was unpainted? Or do they come pre-painted?

PelicanParts won't ship the bumper cover, but they offer:

$590 for the OEM boxster front bumper cover
$610 for the 01-03 Boxster S bumper cover
GT3 model for around $1000-1200 (from another supplier)


Thanks guys....might just eat it at the end of the day, but might not....hard to swallow this one the 2nd day of ownership
