996 GT3 bumper cover, with pics

Nothing against you or your vehicle ccstud17, but here's a clear example of why I caution others about placing too much emphasis and hype on polyurethane when it comes to aftermarket aero parts and body kits. It's a great material when all things are perfect. However, when they're not you're SOL, because poly can't be manipulated to fit like a composite material can be. And, for all that it's faulted for, fiberglass can be shaped and tweaked in every way possible in order to create the perfect fit.

Ckrikos: I talked with Armando for about an hour talking about price of not having those top vents, the price would have been too much. they used to make it without the vents like the red one pictured on their page, but that one was the first one they made and its actually fiberglass, so for urethane they'd need a brand new mold.

J.D: we will see when i get the car back if there is anyway i can adjust the mounting position to fill the gap. The install was by the Porsche dealer and i have a feeling they didnt try real hard to fill the gap. bumper is not from them so they can do a quick install and move on with all blame falling on GT3tek. Also after this wreck I will always use poly on the front bumper. Smashed the piss out of the front end on a curb yet only damage to bumper was the cracked paint! then again, if you dont use the Dmobile as a battering ram, then fiberglass would be just fine lol

Jfro: love that look, and luckily out here in CO they dont mind me not having a front plate

Good luck on the refit. It may be that the dealership didn't put the time and effort in. On the issue of fiberglass, I agree that it doesn't handle impact very well. That aside, it can be shaped to make a perfect fit every time. And for individuals like you and me who are super OCD - that's critical !
