Also, I found out that the dealer will not reset the airbag light for me without knowing what had happened and why the light is on. I was told to bring it to the body shop to have it corrected. Is this true? Is there any other way for me to reset the airbag warning indicator?

Here are some more photos of the car that my little nephew just took for me. As always, opinions are welcomed!

It looks great! Can you tell me if that is a fiberglass bumper or if it is OEM? Source? Thanks!

^ That bumper is fiberglass. Its the GT3 MK II version that was 'retrofitted' to work with 97-04 Boxsters and 99-01 911's. You can get the GT3 MKI version in factory polyurethane from DE Parts aka DPS motorsports and others for $900-1000. A much better value than fiberglass which never fits as good as lazer cut factory parts made from a mold. Fiberglass can sometimes require allot of body shop labor to get the precise fit before prime and paint.

That's too bad. I actually like the MkII version better than the MkI look. Oh well. Thx. for explaining.
