Yeah, I saw that but the seller does no ship to the US. I would buy a few other things from them

993inNC ordered from them via an outfit in New Jersey. I would get with him and see what the US vendor's name is. He got the GT-2 front splitter and reports excellent fitment/quality.

To similarly duplicate the factory finish, one could paint the fiberglass black then put a softening additive to the clearcoat. A fiberglass version would most likely be less fragile where the factory items are prone to break.

Fiberglass is a terrible idea for the side skirts, it will break the first time you go off. The factory RS polyurethane (or identical TechArt polyurethane) parts are expensive but worth the money because the material will flex.

I only have hearsay experience on their body parts. My shop said that they ordered some body parts from them and found the quality poor and that they would not use them again. My experience was with a transmission and not the best. They increased the price by 50% during the course of email correspondence and when the transmission came, despite assurances that it was fully rebuilt, my shop had to replace the selector fork at $485 at my expense. They were also incredibly slow to respond to emails. Personally, I would only use them again if I absolutely had no other source for what I was after.
