Yea I've asked the previous owner to weigh in so we know what's what. The bumper cover looks OEM and is in really good shape, and is urethane, not fiberglass... This IS a smoking deal for $4K and I'm offering to do the whole install complete for $1000. I figure with paint/finish, you're looking at about $5500-6000 to have a color-matched proper fitting, finctional GT2 front bumper/cooling/ducting. Or do it yourself and save the $1000 instal.

Gang this front bumper is absolutely OEM.. It has the numbers cast into it. Unfortunately some of the numbers have been covered by the bodywork someone employed to cover the license plate mount holes... I'll have to post them later, but this is absolutely an OEM cover. It was previously owned by another member "Boostin" here...

I have no skin with this...I so I just check my own factory GT2 set up ( ya lay on the ground to check)
Mine looks like the one Mike is selling - the top cover vs the bottom one.
I hope this helps some one.

 

Thanks for confirming that...

Mike

 

I have no skin in it either and certainly wasn't casting any aspersions on Mike as I hope he knows. The part # on the GT2 bumper I have is 996 505 311 30 G2X which by the way is $3,719 on the Sonnen site! Maybe Porsche made a change somewhere along the lines to the underside of the bumper, IDK. To me it makes sense to have the underside fully covered and blocked off for smoother airflow underneath the car if the center radiator ducting is flowing air up and out through the upper center grill while it also makes sense to have it opened up like Mike's customer's, and mine after cutting, to allow the center radiator ducting to flow air through the bottom of the car as the Turbo is designed.

0396 is your oem bumper on a GT2 straight from the factory or has it been installed on a Turbo? It'd be interesting to determine if the factory made changes somewhere along the lines.

My 03 GT2 was spec order in August of 2003. All "factory ". Once I heard of this potential car, I placed a deposit on potential of having the ability to order 1 of 2 2003 GT2 allocations from PCNA. Mine is the 2nd one...oh ya I waited almost two years for the allocation to come through. OEM...sure is

 

I've confirmed through at least two different sources that the front bumper supplier changed during the production run from 2002-2005. What I have for sale (Selling for the gentleman from South Carolina) is an OEM GT2 front bumper.

WOW... that's very cool!

Mystery solved!

 

This is such a good deal. $6K all in for a full front conversion just doesn't happen. I'm thinking it over. And with Mike doing it will be done right, guaranteed.

 

John Contact me if you're serious. We can make it happen!

Mike

 

I know this is an old thread but did the sale go through? I am looking to do this conversion right =)

 

Never did. Still sitting in my storage...

Mike

 

Awesome! It's a sign I must do it. Please pm me your email or phone number so we can talk through it
