WTB: GT2 front bumper with lower lip

Looking for a good quality one, new or used but please no cheap quality replica fiberglass. The bumper has to be urethane. Thanks.

Please pm me if you have one.

Hey Ken, switching to GT2 front? I believe only NRauto made urethane aftermarket GT2 front. There is one selling here but missing front lip

Ray, thanks for the link. I did not know NR made an urethane one, but do you know if it will fit seamlessly? I know the real one is about 5000.

Ray, great info, although the first seller doesn't seem to be responding to original responder
Are the MA Shaw bumpers fiberglass or urethane?

I have the urethane GT2 replica on my car and will be removing it in about two weeks. It is a direct bolt on to the 996TT; no special hardware needed. You will need a new lip spoiler (which is the OEM GT2 part) available from anyone who sells Porsche parts. I'll post pics later tonight.

As far as I know, MA shaw GT2 bumper is made by FRP. The top intake grill is one piece design with the bumper cover and not able to remove like the OEM bumper. It also come with separate CF lower lip.

Last time I check, OEM GT2 bumper cover is about $1.4K. But you will need all the ducking and brackets. I will add up to $4k+. If roadsterdoc's has urethane aftermarket GT2 front. I assume he has NR parts. Lets see his pics for the fitment.

I have a TechArt II that I want to try. Here are pics of the urethane GT2 bumper shortly after installation:






And a few months later:

roadsterdoc, how much are you looking to sell the GT2 bumper for? The lower lip seems to be in good condition, why are you not selling the lip together with the bumper? And any idea how much the lower lip goes for?

The lip needs replacing. It uses a standard GT2 lip available from the dealer. Call Sunset Porsche for a good price (I get all my OEM parts from them). It was a relatively easy and straightforward fit. After painting separately, the installation was completed in a few hours. The inner fenderliners needed about a 1/2" slot made in the plastic to fit, no big deal at all. I'll take $1K for the bumper and upper grille. Riverflyer has 1st dibs, if I can get it sent to him soon enough.

My urethane GT2 bumper from NRauto is still available. The lip is damaged, but you can use an OEM lip or a lip from NR/Suncoast Porsche, depending on your cost/quality desires.

I have a real factory one for sale, complete with all the ducting and proper hardware, since it was an extra for my real GT2.

You simply cannot compare knock offs versus factory. OEM fit and finish is very hard to match, let alone beat

This is true, but also regarding the price.
