Default anyone done fiberlass from gt racing?

As soon as i hear back on shipping from my other thread, i think im sticking with stock parts but....

Has anyone done a complete 951 (header panel and fenders) fiberglass fitment from gt racing on a 951?

I know they dont come with holes drilled or mountings.....Is it better to stick with stock parts?

how large a project is it and does this stuff fit right?

Would cost like $900 for the parts. What would you do?

Their parts need to be installed by a decent body man. They are of "race" quality so if you're puting them on a race car they're great if you're looking for the fit and finish of a street car you hopefully have a relationship with a good bodyshop

I've got a full fiberglass front end from them and although it looks great from 20ft the fit is average. The PO spent a good amount of time fitting it and it still doesn't fit great in my opinion. I will eventually go back to stock parts as the fiberglass continues to chip and crack from street use.

Ive got a full fiberglass front end. Performance products nose panel, GT racing hood/bumper/fenders, AIR splitter. I'm fairly pleased with it, but I'm not looking for 100% show quality.

my rear gtracing bumper fits very well...granted it had to be spaced with washers on both sides to "make the line" between it and the body panel but again its no front fender! I could see those being a pain to line up...

edit: woops I thought you were talking about a full fiberglass car, not just the front end. my mistake.
