Question Opinions Please - Wing & Splitter Suppliers

I have decided to bite the bullet and do something about an RS wing, rockers and a pair of Techart or RS splitters for my 95 C2 993.

The only thing is its pretty much a no warranty thing when they are to be shipped to Australia, so I am looking for opinions on whose stuff measures up to our expectations.

Also if there is anyone else I should contact.

So far I found the following online,

Better Bodies, Getty Design, Tweeks, GT-Racing, MA Shaw & Rennspeed.

I have prices for much of this stuff but not all the suppliers show everything as available.

Rennspeed seems to be the cheapest, but their website has a whole lot of bad links and many pics don't come up, hard to see what you're getting.

Any opinions or experiences???

Your help is appreciated.

If you want to ensure fit without a lot of cost to make them fit buy factory pieces. If you have a good body shop that can do the work well, then you can use most of the poeple you mentioned above.

If you have further questions PM me and I can help you out.

I bought the Turbo S rear wing, front splitters, and both factory grilles from M. A. Shaw. Very pleased with the quality. His prices on the factory pieces were better than I could get elsewhere. I have heard good things about Getty Design- aparently the local racers use him a lot, , but he didn't have all the parts I needed, and I wanted to get them all from one place.

Gert at Carnewal has original parts for RS and he is very reliable.

Sorry, Its a bit big and overstated for me,

I have decided on the wing and I am 85% on the Techart splitters over the rs splitters and the rs side rockers I can take or leave. But its still a risk buying overseas.

One guy here asked $4000 AUS (approx $2800 US) just for the bare fibreglass wing.

I told him he will go blind if he keeps that habit up!

Tk front spitters are resting in my livingroom as we speak

Going to fit them once the roads are clear of snow..

Does anyone know if they're hard to fit, and how to fit them?
What tools will I need to do it?

Mike from M.A.Shaw is a pleasure to deal with. It seems you have to call him as he doesn't get around to his e-mail often.

Also I've had nothing but positive experiences dealing with Better Bodies as well.
