The MKII bumper comes from the factory with the Turbo look headlights.
The GT3 Cup Cars use this bumper with the three open slots just below the hood line.

Cool never really niced it before. Now i see it. Personally i like the MKI styling better....Oh well too late now

Well if you are going to go with fiberglass its better that you got something that isn't available in factory polyurethane like the MKI

PrecisionPorsche also sells the GT3 MKII sideskirts for the Boxster.
that's where I got mine. Too bad the labor cost more than the $400 skirt

TriGem2k, your car looks great. That bumper will look awesome when it is painted-up.

Nice rims too!

I don't know why labor is so expensive over here...
I thought I was being hosed by the shop but after going to other shops the price to paint and install the sideskirts was between $450 and $650.
Which makes me glad I didn't spend $700 on the factory side skirts, $1300 on just sideskirts??!! thats what I spent for the entire 3 piece aero kit on my old Miata.

But as you can see in the pictures sideskirts are a big visual change, looks much better in person too.

yeah definitly does add a lot, mine has side skirts as well but different style. They actually have to be reset(they dont sit plush). Few shops asked around $500 to Remove and reinstall so i put it off til later.
