Default WTB: Broadfoot Racing GT2 flares & rocker extensions

Before I purchase from Broadfoot I thought I'd check the used market. So if anyone has the GT2 flares and rocker extensions for sale let me know. Thanks

If you order now from BR mabe you will get them till summer.
I suggest you check with AIR first, they also have those but for the 968 , ask for fitment if you need them for 944 . In theory they should work but you never know...

+1, to Albert at BR the time delay from payment to goods being shipped is measured in months. Great guy, little lacking in meeting customer expectations. I drove three hours from Palm Beach to collect my last order from him after waiting two months for BR to pack and ship the order. If he doesn't have stock and has to make them catamax944 is correct, you'll get them maybe next summer.

Guess I was lucky, I got my front end in a manner of weeks. Great product, far better quality than I've seen from others.

Broadfoot will fit better although all of them require a bit of tinkering.
I've got a set of these but being down in Sydney, the shipping would deter most.
We're used to paying crazy shipping costs to get stuff (and it's only getting worse) as vendors and shippers are making hay while the sunshines so to speak.

I've talked to Mike at AIR and he mentioned his flares would take a lot of work to fit right on the 944, but thanks for the suggestion.

I did but don't recall what GT-Racing told me about them. I think it was something similar to the AIR response. Btw, what quarters/fenders are you running on your car and how was fitment? I remember reading about the build a while ago and I think you got them from GT...

Yes this is why I wanted to go with the BR flares as they're suppose to fit better/easier than the others. You're right though in that they all should fit someone similarly with some adjustments, I just want the one with the least headache! PM sent.

Contact Harry Glass in Jacksonville if you are looking at buying the GTR flares. They are the ones that make them.

I did a lot of research about fiberglass manufacturers and decided to go with IFC Racing. Mike is a great buy btw.
At the beginning I wanted the full front nose from BR (like Jim and Tony) but I did not want to take the risk to work with them. I decided to build my own with the IFC, parts.

here is my car...

Yes, but they can't sell Broadfoots products, he designed, built the 1st set and owns the molds. Harry my build them, but he can't legally sell them. Pretty sure Broadfoot has them in stock at the moment, as they have an ad on the local craigslist.

I have my own version of the Broadfoot GTR front if you are interested. We are making one now in carbon fiber.

Thanks for the info guys!

The more I look at Cyril's rear quarters and front fenders paired with the 951/S2 style front bumper the more I'm liking that look!

Thanks Veleno but it is a slippery slope...
Actually, at the beginning, I wanted those BF flares. Then I decided to go with full fenders. Then, as you have to paint half of the car, I decided to buy the doors, the hood, the header panel, the bumpers, lexan hatch,... then it was not good enough, I decided to build a one piece front nose!
Then you need wheels,...
