GT3 STYLE BUMPER install on a Porsche Boxster 986 (KBD Polyurethane)

Bought the GT3 style polyurethane bumper from KBD and installed it on my 1998 Porsche Boxster 986.

This is a detailed unboxing/prep/install for the bumper. Below is a link to the bumper:

The second bumper fits and looks so much better than the first, and I think it will look fantastic when painted. Can't wait to see it. What about some fender flairs and wider wheels next?

Jan Bauer says:

How did the mesh attach? I didnt buy it with my bumper but I have the same mesh.

Matt Brewer says:

Overall do you think it was worth it or would you go back and get a different bumper? And how much did it cost you to paint?

SGT Tom Bailes says:

Don't buy KBD if you want perfect fit and finish.. Now if you have a track car. Go for it.

I'm having a similar issue with mine that I just received, the sides below the fenders are too long it seems. How much fighting did you have to do with KBD to get them to send you a new one? I've already emailed them and sent them pretty detailed pictures of the problem areas.

How much did it cost???

You shoulve bought the wide tsport front bumper off ebay. The only style that would suit the body line of boxster 986. I have it on mine with the aero kit side skirt. It looks clean and stock.. just sharing 🙂
