Default Vendor for GT2 / RSCS front splitter?

Have any of you found a vendor that provides a "quality" 3 piece front splitter?
Quality as in well-made and fits the bumper cover pretty well without surgery.

My local San Diego shop does not have what i need.
MA Shaw never seems to have a set in stock for me to check out.
Getty= uncertain, but they have a close relationship with MA Shaw.

I know all aftermarket pieces need a bit of tweaking, but i'd like to find someone that pulls pieces out of the mold that are pretty much good-to-go.


Thanks

Craig

I think you have pretty much covered the main makers of these parts. The only other vendor I can think of is Rennspeed Motorsports, however i think they buy from Getty... http://www.rennspd.com/

I'm not sure a plug and play FG part exists. It comes down to which one needs te least massaging.

I was looking into getting this as well, after asking a few people it seemed like the consensus on the after market stuff was that they needed a lot of work to get them to fit properly, I think FVD has the OEM part but as I recall it was very expensive! Does anyone have the Porsche OEM part number?

^^ The GT2 part comes in three sections - left, right and middle. I believe these are the correct p/n's:

L 993 505 521 04 G2X
R 993 505 522 04 G2X
M 993 505 519 01 G2X

Thanks for the part numbers, I did just look the prices up on pelican just for fun:

L 993 505 521 04 G2X $963
R 993 505 522 04 G2X $963
M 993 505 519 01 G2X $721


Wow! I need to sit down and take a big breath! $$

I never said they were cheap, just that they fit well. And, FWIW, the fvd price is only $2043.02. If you don't want to do either I believe Getty's your best option, as it's made well and costs less than a third of that. That will pay for a lot of massaging by a body shop or a lot of frustration beer while you DIY. And if you drive it as it was intended (or in cities with potholes, up and down driveways, etc.) this part could easily become a consumable anyway. Some have made and fixed an aluminum plate to the bottom, connecting the three sections together better and adding additional strength.

The last time I checked, Sunset quoted me $1200 each on the end pieces and $500 for the middle.

I decided that massaging FG parts was the way to go.

I see a few Racer 5's in my future in that case.

I noticed you car has a turbo front bumper, the GT2/RSCS splitters will not work on your bumper. They will only fit a standard NA bumper.
