I like the gt3 style rear bumper from precision porsche and the gt2 front bumper (part of kit) from nrauto... Can anyone speak to their experience with either company? Positive/negative as far as customer service, price, and most important fit?

Based on what I know from others who have purchased from those companies, one can expect that the parts will require an awful lot of prep work and "tweaking" in order to get an excellent fit . I'm not saying that this is necessarily a bad thing. Rather, it's typical of most domestically produced FRP parts . Ultimately, it comes down to how much of a perfectionist one is .

Here's an example of my project . The front bumper and side skirts are from Hamann in Germany . And the rear bumper is also from a company in Germany called CSR Automotive . For the most part, the side skirts and rear bumper fit pretty well, and they didn't require that much "tweaking" . However, the front bumper, particularly the top grill (which you can see is incorporated into the design) was a nightmare to even out. As far as the little tail spoiler is concerned, in hindsight I would have been better off molded one out of FRP myself . In the end, it took many weeks of intense labor and lots of dollar$ to achieve perfection .
