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.

ooohhhhh - i love the orange one! just the whole look is wicked! so clean and smooth

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

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.

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

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.

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

It looks too busy.

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.

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!

Sorry Crono, but I just don't like it. There are so many other "kits" out there that can give the boxster that extra bit of "jazz" without "gilding the lily" .

I'm with you crono. I like it, I plan on buy a similar one from precision in the future, you've probably seen it on there site. I think it's the only other one for the 986 that has DRL's built into the bumper other than yours. I do like yours though :)

Haha. Maybe that's the effect I'm going for.
I've seen every kit out there (at least, I think I have) and nothing turns my head quite the same

JD,
My German is non-existent so do you happen to know:

How much the Ingle Noak front cover is for a 986.2 (S)?
What it's made from?
What their shipping costs are (in Europe/UK)?

I think i am a little far down the road to consider a replacement but... i like to have a little dream on the back burner at all times

Last I knew, the front was going for US$1400 - $1600. As far as the material is concerned, it's FRP that meets TUV certification.

My bumper also has the integrated LED
Its the turbo look
It's not as aggressive but I really didnt want the extra fog lights on top of the LED...too crowded IMO

That Z-Top is amazing looking. Very jealous :)
I also love that integrated LED.


So, I have something to confess.
*cough*

JD, I'll be honest. For a moment, I considered Speed Yellow

In ebay.de the price iss actually 599,-€, USD roundabout 795,-.

Other alternative, looks very similar is csr, price is 100,-€ lower :

Both sellers you can make a price proposal.

Looking good Crono!
any fitment issues? My bumper has a gap in between the side marker lights...thank god its black so it doesn't show up very obviously

Lots of fitment issues, but that's the way it goes with any aftermarket bumper.
I paid premium to have them fit it in. More pics to follow.

Simply stunning. Well done mate

I'd trade my GT2 front bumper for this one anytime

*cough*

wow more LEDs to shake a stick at.
I like it...its sharp!

The orange side marker kinda throws it off do you think so?

To be honest, I like a little bit of amber. I thought about getting the clear ones but the amber gives it a little bit of older flare. I thought about smoking it out too, but couldn't come to a conclusion.

You should run a contest a-la-Johnny Danger and quiz "how many little lights on my front end".

That would certainly set someone in busy-mode ;)

I think what really ties it all in - is the Johnny Danger Action CD ! :)

Has its spot permanently in the CD slot.

Nice led lights

Cheers Yorkshire lad

I still like my bumper ;)
