Name that Bumper

Is this a standard bumper for an 02-04 Carrera? Or is an aero bumper or something like that? Anyone? When requesting this for my car, what do I call it?

Bumper?

Jeph, if you are planning on putting this bumper on your boxster, how do you plan on getting around the difference in the headlight area?

That ain't no simple bumper replacement... you'll have to upgrade your lights, front fenders and hood as well me thinks.

Jeph:

Sorry about your recent Boxster misfortune. Tell the truth - you were doing a mini-Gumball with Rail26, weren't you?

Here's a recent thread that may help.

As luck would have it, my car will be requiring new quarter panels, bumper, and headlights according to the initial estimate. I don't know that I'll need a new hood for this transformation, but mine is dented and scrathed pretty good. At any rate, now is the time to pull the trigger on this update...

I don't want the Turbo bumper, as it doesn't flow so well with the Boxster, in my opinion.

I tweaked my photoshop job a little more... I think this looks epically cool! Especially with the lowering.



Rail26 can't hang wif my mad driving skills.

Okay, but you're going to need side skirts (Just trying to save Perfectlap some typing time.)

Can you change the hood badge to silver? That would totally complete it for me.

Jeez, I think I might mash mine all up just so I can do this conversion.
