What do you think of this front bumper?

Aside from the top vents, I think it looks amazing

Bold ! Need more photos in order to give an opinion though. More importantly who makes it, and what is the quality like ?

I really am not a fan of the top vents... but you have to admit, it looks amazing in black!

It's made from precision porsche, and it's a retrofit of the TechArt 997 GT2 front bumper

It seems a bit "heavy" and contrived if you ask me. Especially for a 986 boxster. But, it all comes down to what you like I guess. What about something clean and straightforward like the RUF bumper ?

I also like the clean look of this German made 997 style bumper.

You know a funny story that you mention the RUF front bumper.

I actually ordered the RUF front bumper. It was at the shop and I was about to get it fitted, but had a slight change of heart. The shop owner, who had an old style 911, offered to buy it for full price from me.

I like this because it stands out, and turns more heads.

Wing2Nut does have a nice car though.

Looks like a bad Face Lift so many Hollywood stars have gotten, doesn't look natural...
To each their own brother!

Crono0001 07-24-2013 01:37 PM

But it looks so mean and aggressive! With OEM 997 lights no less!

I don't know why every aftermarket front bumper has those stupid top vents.

particlewave 07-24-2013 02:58 PM

Way too big and wide! :eek:
It looks like a feeding whale :p

Crono0001 07-24-2013 03:17 PM

Guess I'm alone in liking this front bumper.

About to pull the trigger... gotta love impulse buys.

If I were you, I would take my time and make a thorough decision and not buy on impulse.

Crono0001 07-24-2013 06:45 PM

You could say I'm living on the closer side of "danger" :P

Jokes aside, I've actually been considering this one for a long time. The only reason I didn't get RUF was because it wasn't... loud... enough. This one is perfect

heliguy 07-24-2013 09:24 PM

It looks too busy.

Crono0001 07-25-2013 03:19 AM

What if the top vents were taken off :D

Still too busy. The round lights under the LED lights...the three vents at the bottom. Photoshop those off.

EssexPorsche 07-25-2013 06:08 AM

I still go back to that orange 997 style Ingo Noak German job - if i had my time again, thats where i'd put it!
