A few have mentioned purchasing the GT3 nose from SunCoast Porsche.

NR Automotive in L:A has one about $350.00 less costly. (http://www.nrauto.com/).

Has anyone purchased one from NR and/or does anyone know if theirs is Porsche OEM as I assume that of Suncoast's might be?

For clarification.

I do believe the car looks much better with that nose. It surprises me that Porsche does not offer this as a factory option.

The GT3 front bumper cover from SunCoast is OEM. Perfect fit, no modifications needed for the install. I really can't speak for other companies.

I just found this from NR so it answers my own question:

"
Greg,


The price of the GT3 Front Bumper is $1595.00. This is an original Porsche Motorsport GT3 front bumper. Fit is perfect. Parts comes with all necessary ducts and lower spoiler. Bumper and spoiler are polyurethane. Mounts to your 997 using all the your original hardware from your car.

Thank You,
