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?
How did the mesh attach? I didnt buy it with my bumper but I have the same mesh.
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?
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???
Interested in selling your old red bumper cover $ if so need a total price shipped to 76522
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 🙂
I actually like it, looks good!
Looks terrible
