Default GT3 Nosecone for Boxsters

Hi gang

My boss just bought a 2k1 986 and loves it. He loves it so much he wants to change out the nosecone to the GT3 one. Is it possible to get one for just one appendage instead of both an arm and a leg?

Toby is right. It's easy to do.

It can be costly if he wants the OEM GT3 nose ($3k), otherwise there are cheap knockoffs for $1k.

Where can I find the knockoff? He doesn't want to spend $3k.

I don't know. I went with the OEM one. Google is your friend.

Thanks everyone...

I've passed on several links to him and he's a bit overwhelmed. He's still getting used to the Boxster over the Crossfire, but is of course already looking at modifications. He hasn't stopped grinning.
