Love the look. Can this be done with the brand new (gen2?) GT3 bumper? I like how the newer GT3 bumper doesn't have those horizontal slats in the bottom splitter.

What is the cost associated with the install?

WOW! That looks great! I love the GT3 front bumper look on the Cayman. Average cost for this mod? parts and labor?

Looks great. I wish it were made of a more flexible material though.

he probably meant that GT3 bumper is made of fiberglass instead of urethane.

i personally prefer urethane (probably majority of people) but they are more expensive. (it does look like fiberglass based on first picture.)

did you have to do a lot of prep work before painting? i hope it's not too much of sanding...looks good though! grats! did you resize the whole picture proportionally? for some reason, the cayman looks pretty short in terms of length.

Looks nice....I think the rear of the car may need some cosmetic mods as well...Only to "balance it out"

You guys are killing me. Nice job on the installation. I have one of these bumpers sitting in my garage. I still need to find someone in the Raleigh NC area for my installation.

Cayman

That is one nice looking Croc! Is changing out the front bumper on a Cayman that difficult? I changed out the bumper on my Box quite easily.
