NRAuto sells a number of bumper styles. You may also consider www.FVD.us (a board sponsor), as they also sell the GT3 bumper. Good luck!

I installed a GT3 front bumper on a 2007 Boxster. It looks great. Really improves the look.

Crazed1, your 987 looks terrific. Just right without being over the top.

Many thanks...exactly the look I was after. I also did the Porsche rear bumper kit, but man that was $$$$...of course fit and finish were top notch. The NRAuto GT3-like front bumper required a fair amount of massaging to get it to look and fit correctly. Here's a couple more pics:

Very nice indeed!

If one were to install running lights in this grill, would they be together in the middle or outside on the edges?

The NRAuto bumper that I have installed uses 997 running/fog lights and wiring harness. As someone mentioned, I think the newer version can also use LED running lights.

If you also wanted to add another set, you would probably want to consider mounting them in the middle, as the side openings provide cooling air for the radiators. Another thing to consider is that with the new bumper, you could also add the center radiator...

Hope that answers your question.
