bumper guard 996 997

[Tnathan]

Hi all,

I had a quick question. I wanted to replace the bumper on my 996. I ran across a 997 bumper, and thought it would be neat to upgrade. Is this something that can be done. Is it as easy as swaping out? I thought I read somewhere that you need to stick with a 996 bumper cover rather than a 997. On the other hand, I would think that it is unlikely that Porsche would have modfied the front end such that you can't just swap them out. It would jsut be nice to make it look less like a boxster if doing so can be done easily and cheaply. Any guidence out there? thanks in advance.

It won't fit around the headlights or fenders.

There are some aftermarket replacements that look like a 997-1 bumper but do fit 996.
