As far as Fiberglass goes its an expensive price. But as far as Porsches go its a good deal. Having the guys who make stuff also paint it for you will be a good way of getting a discount.
I bought my GT3 sideskirts from PrecisionPorsche and it cost only $400 but the labor around here was cost more than the parts! $400-$650 quotes from various shops. I decided to go with the expensive guys. The fit wasn't perfect like a factory aero part but I decided to take the $400 savings and invest that in a Factory GT3 (Version 1) bumper which I picked up for $900.

You'll have to take big precautions with a fiberglass front end. No more parking on the street next to a curb in between cars. and Head in parking at all times.
I had a fiberglass rear bumper on my Miata and it was driven into twice in traffic requiring two seperate repairs. A polyurethane bumper would have been much less fragile.
