I am wondering where the best place to get a good fitting GT fiberglass bumper and flared GT valance is. I currently have a 916 front bumper and an Oil cooler set up up front and really like the look of a 916 bumper, any help would be appreciated. Also Ihave checked out the GT-racing.com page and they seem to have nice stuff, how well does there stuff fit??
Thanks Steve |

I speak as one who purchased GT products (GT front and rear bumpers, flared valence), no here say. They are so bad, that wondered if they were actually for a 914 when I held them up to the car. I never installed the rear bumper because it simply does not fit. The front fits horribly after very much prep work/fittment.
Save yourself a BIG headache, try another vendor. The biggest problem with fiberglass parts that I was informed of, here in the US, there are really only a couple of companies making the parts, but a whole bunch selling them. Ask if Getty use there own molds, and hope they are truthful. I have never heard bad things about Getty myself. If you buy from them please post the info about the quality. Martin |
