Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I just researched this to death, myself. Ended up going with an OEM bumper as I wasn't comfortable with all the fiberglass-infused options since I drive mine around all over the city and don't want to risk cracks or fitment issues. Best price I found online was $2400.

Im sure you can shop around, but when a new OEM piece is $5300+ Tax & shipping is pretty insane.

Luckily Rose Passion has a significantly better price, but not sure how bad shipping would be ~$2300 before all of that.

I have my eye on an aftermarket one that appears to be very high quality FRP, and costs more than GT-Racing, but less than half the Suncoast price and a little cheaper than the Rose Passion price... but I also want to add the RS vents, so hard to justify spending ~$2500 for a factory piece only to have to cut holes in it for the 3rd radiator and the RS Vents... ugh
I bought an AeroKit bumper from Rose Passion in March of 2022 and my total cost was $1,844.74. $976.00 for the bumper, $588.00 for shipping and $40.00 Customs duty.
Even with clearing customs, it made from France to San Diego in 7 days.
Delivered via FedEx Freight.
OP - Are you worried about dinging up the paint?

$1060 for an RS style cover. Put it on for track days, take it off for street use? I thought about this since the cover only takes 30 minutes to swap if car’s already up. I didn’t think somewhere near $2,000 was worth it for a spare cover. So I just put film on and use the cheaper Demonspeed Cup lip.

Im not concerned about paint dings; more concerned about inadvertent track landscaping & trashing my aerokit bumper.
The gt racing cover looks fine. I need to call to confirm a .1 fitment.
just checked- doesn�t fit the .1 cars, only .2 & the .1 gt3 replica bumper is $400 more. All in with shipping prior to prep & paint would be $1825.
Maybe I just need to get over the costs & order an oem spare.
Thanks
Have you tried Getty Design? They make a lot of cool stuff.
If you�re going to use it solely for track, you could always get a used bumper. Hack it up (mod it) however you want without remorse, scrape it to your heart�s content, etc. You could also forgo repainting it.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
