OEM/Aftermarket body kits
I have a 96 Carrera that's basically bone stock. One of the things I'm interested in is adding a turbo front bumper or RS front splitters, and potentially side skirts. I've been reading about various aftermarket manufacturers on the forums and elsewhere, but can't find a comprehensive guide on this. The last thing I want is a cheap look/fit.
What have you/others used - OEM or aftermarket?
Cheers

you would be amazed what you can find if you search this forum - tons of years of good info that rarely disappoints.
searching for OEM parts by their part numbers helps too.

Hi Fishoop,
Avoid Better Bodies and Duraflex: If possible use the supplier who supplies the factory in the first place such as Techart who supplied the Aero factory kits.
Some suppliers make parts that require no modifications to fit, some a little some can't be made to work without major work.
Duraflex
Don't necessarily shy away from used undamaged parts from a dismantler or eBay as they have had most if not all the heavy lifting done concerning fit and finish and in many cases just need a light sanding, priming, and painting.
