Post better bodies parts?

Anyone purchased any body panels from this company? I was wondering as to the quality of their products. I'm looking at their 993 style mirrors, doorhandles, and possible a body kit.

Thanks,

Jeff

I have been to their showroom in SAan Diego, it is actually in San Ysidro, very close to the Mexican border.

Their parts appear to be extremely well made...and since you are so close to San Diego via Southwest Airlines, I'd recommend you come to San Diego and visit their plant. Look at a catalog before you arrive...they have a good one.

If you like the quality of their stuff, whip out a wad of cash and request a cash discount. They love cash. Let us know what you think about Better Bodies.

Default Back when the BroMance was budding

Not so much anymore...won't return calls and e-mails. They promised a refund, 993 ill fitting side skirts returned as per their instructions...as of 11/11/16, not a peep from them. I wonder if I am the only one who has had a bad experience here? Can it just be me? I suspect not, but I could be wrong.

Any fiberglass parts I have bought have needed work. Sometimes major work. MA Shaw may have better quality control, but are also more expensive.

Any specific vendors that you can let us in on? Getty and MA Shaw are one in the same, according to rumor. Sort of like GMC and Chevy....

Not to "beat a dead horse" so to speak, but the one (1) piece GT2 fiberglass front splitter I bought from Gert at Carnewal needed minimal work, just basic prep for paint. Typically these spoilers are three (3) piece...I can live with one (1) piece.

I bought replacement fins for the rear fender openings in my '77 slant conversion. They are good quality, will require some sanding prep, but I'm happy with the product, and they arrived when he said they would. Would do business with Better Bodies again.
