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!

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.

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

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