Anyone have experience with American International Racing body kits.
How good they are, how difficult to install and what level of experience is required to pull off an installation. Thanks. Randal |

I bought a 935 body kit from Dan McClaughlin (AIR)
He allegedly made, or supplied glass for most of the west coast US built 935s. The fit of the glass was horrendous ( Ive stated this many times before).. Ive also had the misfortune of trying make other AIR pieces fit 911s... See you have to make them fit because the molds are so shitty, that they dont resemble the intended car anymore. Or of course your friend could buy his parts from someone who makes things that fit........... Getty/Shaw.. Caveat Emptor.... AIR=POS quite simple |

AIR=POS quite simple (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) their parts fit like crap. The rear bumper on my car has a couple hours of f'ing with it by a professional body guy (I gave up) and he basically said he would need to cut some pieces out of it and re-align/rebuild it to make it look right. for the time he would have charged me (and had already charged me) I would have had more than double the initial cost in it. I have heard great things about Getty. If their stuff is less than double the AIR, buy it because the AIR will cost that much again to fix it and not worth the PITA to mess with. |
