I am thinking about wrapping the hood in a matte black, like the new GT3, which should look nice when I get my old wheels back on that have the black centers and red lips

I concur, the vent adds a nice touch !

Looks great.
Didn't you already have a very nice carature (SP?) bumper?

I wanted to buy that same one but Alois was asking 2K if I remember right, add paint and it was over my budget, went with the GT3 and lip.

This may be a dumb question but here goes. If you add a bumper like this to a non-S does the air going into the center cavity cause problems?

The short answer is no. In fact, you'll find that virtually every aftermarket bumper incorporates the center air channel . This poses no problem for a non S boxster . It's simply easier to create a single design .

Yes I did, but unfortunately I hit a curb and cracked the underside of the CTR bumper. When I went in for an estimate the body shop just happened to have a RUF bumper in the back, no brainer, I swapped out for the RUF bumper
