What about these awesome diffusers instead of a new rear bumper (that isn't much different from the one you have)?

What do you want to do with the vents? Just want them painted?
We can get any of the Porsche aerokit parts for you if you want, as well.

Superus...dude, you have a big black circle around your side vent....you might want to buff that out.
LA Porsche dismantlers might be a good source for body panels:

Good point, especially for bumpers. That's why factory is often the way to go. There are a few aftermarket manufacturers doing urethane also, but very few.

I totally agree with Todd. Once you choose a front fiberglass bumper kit, im pretty sure you have to go back to the body paint shop a couple times in a year to get it refinished. Not worth the $$.

From what I find typically the bumper is about $650 unpainted (primed) - these diffusers are painted with factory paint, ready to go, and are actually functional diffusers, not cosmetic as with the '04 bumper.
Then, in addition, if you get a new bumper, you'll need a new wing, as they are not the same shape. It's not quite plug-and-play with a new OEM bumper, but the diffusers are.
