allil,

I'm thinking Turbo, with front bumper delete and clear turn signals, or stock/clear turn signals.

For a TT bumper you'd be much better off w/OEM...factory plastic holds up much better than fiberglass or CF with the inevitable scrapes...

Marco,

You should go with oem for what you want. You can get away with aftermarket ducts and signals if you like, but for the bumper cover, go oem.

BB Bumpers

Yes bought bumpers from them....they fit terrible!! Would NEVER buy anything form these guys!! Tried to return them after 5 body guys offered up their opinions on time and cost to make them look "right". If you're looking to spend less money and want an ef'd up look then these fools are your guys. BB wont refund me my cost.....sent them to collections...now in legal battle. Better to spend a little more and get a better fit from the start!!

The only thing I can add to this discussion concerns Duraflex:

Their customer service leaves a bit to be desired.

Their clear corners are perfectly trimmed.

Their RS ducts developed the same issues noted above see pic.

Does anyone have a better source for these style vents / ducts?

I'm not sure. When I removed my bumperettes, I went with OEM Turbo S ducts, sourced from Carnewal: http://www.carnewal.com/products/993...with-LED's

Fit and quality is perfect

Thanks in advance.

Yes I would skip them....you have some good advise already on here as I never found their units to be of very good quality nor fit as you can see by the front sagging air duct piece.
