[QUOTE=Perfectlap]bump,

Just read on Rennlist that DPS Motorsports received a big shipment of GT3 front bumpers. I'd make him an offer between $650-$900 and see what he says.

Did DPS accept yr offer < $950? I'm planning to get it. Shipping sucks though, in my case

I paid exactly $950 in an ebay auction. Shipping was another $150

if i were you I would tell him that you are in Singaporre and see if he can sell to you for $950 including shipping.
Maybe combine that offer with the sideskirts since its going to be expensive for you either way.
I think they might be inclined to work with you since they selling allot of these bumpers. Ask about prepainting maybe its cheaper than in Singapore. Since they are factory parts they should just bolt right on no need to sand before priming/painting.

The other thing I would do is to join Rennlist($20) and say that you are a Rennlist member. DPS are not Rennlist sponsors so they may give you some goodwill since they make lots of sales because of Rennlist without actually being sponsors.
I know they have done many group buys on that site and asked the 911 guys to put the word out to Rennlist Boxster owners since the front bumper works for both.
Just be patient with those their customer service department is not the best I've dealt with which is fine by me as long as the prices are good.

They do good paint jobs, my skirts were pretty good. Very good pricing on painting.

Yeah the service department is a little slowwwwww, bare with them!

Thanks Perfectlap! I was quoted $425 for shipping. $650 if it includes the side skirts!! So I'm giving the skirts a pass for now. Only reason I'm fitting the bumper's bec Porsche claims it'll provide a more balanced down force with the Aerokit II rear spoiler which I already have.

A good idea on the painting. I'm just worried they may not fit spot on with my existing paint which is about 2 years old already.
