The only difference would have been if the previous owner used a center radiator.

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.

7 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I�m having my front bumper replaced on my 99 996. I asked the body shop if I could pay the extra money for them to put on an aftermarket or OEM GT3 upgrade since insurance is covering this. He said he�s hesitant to use Aftermarket because of fitment and a GT3 bumper is expensive and requires different mounting. Does anybody have upgraded front bumper on their 996?

POST 3Original post

I've put front and rear aftermarket bumpers. There is usually some fitment issues but nothing to crazy. maybe look for another installer.

POST 4Original post

I recently replaced the front bumper on my 996.1 from stock to used OEM aerokit/GT3 bumper. Mounted exactly as the other one. The only difference would have been if the previous owner used a center radiator.

POST 5Original post

^^^ I did the same - the mounting points are all the same...

Where did you find the GT3 bumper?

POST 7Original post

I got mine from a guy here. He had bought 4 or 5 of them on some kind of closeout deal. I got the last one, that he had kicking around for a few years - I got it for less than $1500 shipped, so it was a really good deal...
