GT3 front bumper on GT2, possible?

I really like the GT3 front bumper, is it possible to put it on my GT2, is this done before? or is this a stupid idea, aerodynamics-wise?

GT2 has the sickest bumper on the road, the GT3 nose looks alomost like a plain jane 996 nose I had on my car , except for the lower extrusions. As well it would take your aerodynamics out of wack! Anyone say different?

Wow.. I find the GT3 lacking in terms of looks, but I would also assume that there wouldn't be enough air flow, and correct me if I am wrong as I am an aspiring 996TT owner, but aren't the radiators in the front section of the car? If so I would be worried about not getting enough airflow to cool the car down..

It will fit - not 100% but you can do this - I wouldnt reccomend it nut it can be done....

I think for the narrow body cars the GT3 cup bumper with the air duct cut outs on the top of the bumper like on the GT3 RS is amazing looking

The GT3 nose is far from plain-jane, its a great looking nose on a lowered car and the GT3 obviously, the GT2 nose is the best looking nose Porsche has made to date, I would keep your stock nose.
