03 bumper on a 97? - 986 Forum - The Community for Porsche Boxster & Cayman Owners

I do not really like the looks of the GT2, GT3 or the Turbo bumpers. However, I do like the looks of the 2003 stock bumper for the boxster. Anyone know if it will bolt on directly and fit properly on my 1997?

Front Bumper is a direct bold on with no mods. The rear reqires a few extra pieces.

Cool. So does anyone know where I can get a 2003 bumper in good condition?

Randall are you looking for a new or used one? For a new one I would check with DPS Parts. They usually have pretty good prices on that stuff. I got my GT3 bumper from them.

If you're looking for a used one, I had great luck with LA Porsche Dismantlers. They shipped me a nice 996 bumper in primer for $250 plus shipping. Delivery was very fast as well.

careful those guys have just as many bad reviews as good reviews. Seems like they are really bad at sending out the right part unless its a big, hard to confuse item. Do a search on Rennlist and you'll see lots of opines.

I guess its not to hard to see a 996 bumper and pair it up with the order form.

I just got off of the phone with them and they said the lowest they would sell me a 99-02' primed 996 bumper was for $400.
