    New S bumper from Porsche - Quality?

    Sunset quotes $1217 plus ship for a new S front bumper sent from Germany. Does anyone have experience with the newly pressed ones. Is quality as good as original?

    I know them very well :-) ,they are ok
    made from 2 half´s , then welded together , there can be some minor marks after grinding on the outside ,
    but nothing you notice after a paint job

    Hi, we have probably fitted 10 of these by now. As Marek says I am always surprised at the amount of grind marks on panels coming in from Porsche but they are good and do fit. I will find some pics if it helps?

    That sounds like a great price....
    Especially if the fit is good.
