Back when I was looking into body kits, it was explained to me that Gemballa actually utilized the oem polyurethane bumper in their design. However, they molded fiberglass splitters to each corner and lastly removed the "surround" from center intake to give it a more open look. I remember it as being a quality piece, but very expensive. I imagine at this point it would be difficult to get one since Gemballa's demise.

Thank you guys for the compliments

The Front "splitter" is not the UK one. Its the whole bumper. The bumper is from Gemballa and what I like about it is that its OEM looking. This was out before the 987 decided to have splitters from the factory so I liked the fact that the bumper is along the lines of what the factory would do. The bumper is really expensive and thats why its rare, but I got it used from a celebrity for really cheap.

The spoiler is Zientec. I ordered it from South Africa. It fit well on my 2001 bumper but I had to modify it to fit on this 2003 bumper. And it still needs adjustments

The wheels are 19inch Ruf wheels but they are replicas.

I forget to mention a few things I saw commented on

First of all nothing on the car, besides the wheels, are replicas or knock offs.

The bumper is from gemballa and its basicaly the OEM bumper with a bigger center vent and molded splitters. it even has the Porsche Part number on it. It fits with no modification because its basicaly oem. It retails $2000-3000 depending on where you look but I got it for $300 from Usher in Atlanta. He had it on a grey Gemballa 911 that was crashed.

The side skirts are OEM Porsche aerokit 1. I got it for $590 shipped from Germany. its hard to find in the US.

The rear bumper is the OEM porsche 2003-2004 facelift bumper from Europe with no bumperettes. I had to cut off the bolts holding the bumperette brackets off to put it on. Purchased the bumper for $540 with a dealer discount.

The humps are OEM not replica, it has Porsche Part number on it. I got it for basicaly free from someone who gave me a bunch of parts and through this in.


Overall I tried to go for the OEM look without doing anything crazy.

I also put in a cayman 3.4L 75mm throttle body with IPD plenum and Intake.
