This is not a probability of success.

Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.
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.

Where else can I find these parts for a 2003 996 C2?
I found the bumper for $999 on Pelican Parts and the rear tail light on Suncoast for $355.
Should I go used?
whats wrong with the ones you have?
are you sure the bumper is not repairable? (if there is a problem)
have you thought about something special like an Aero bumper
I had an accident backing up in a parking garage ...and the parking garage won.
It looks like someone took a bowling ball and smashed the corner of the right side bumper and lower part of the tailight. I'll try to put up a picture.
I bought some stuff from DC auto in NewYork, there is also a place in Cali, something dimantellers....
that's going to be a pricey fix, sure you dont want to turn it into the insurance? I would have done my own job BEFORE I knew what all was involved in doing it right...now I dont think I would...there are a lot of subtle things that can make a differance and from the look of it, the impact went deep enough to maybe warrent having the sheet metal under looked at....
Then there is the paint, unless you luck out and find one in your color that is not scratched...
just a thought
If I buy a used bumper, is there anything I need to check for - to make sure it will work? I am assuming that it will have all the screw holes and everything it needs to be put on my car. All the bolts. clamps and brackets I should currently have on my car with the existing broken bumper.
