Default WTB GT2 flares and tail

Hey guys wondering what suggestions the group might have for fitment of
GT2 bodywork pieces? Most specifically flares and rear tails,what companies
aftermarket parts may fit best or worst....?
If anyone has changed directions and has useable parts to sell?
I did buy a carbon fibre front left flare on ebay but need at minumum three additional..Anyone have anything? All ears thanks Bert

For what they cost look into factory flairs. They don’t cost much more than the aftermarket flairs. This is the rout I took and must say it was well worth it for a street car. Your body shop will thank you, and so will your pocket book when you work in the extra you spend at the body shop.

FVD claimed to be OEM flare supplier to Porsche MS. They say it was them who comissioned the flares for the N/A RSR cars and actually sold them to Porsche MS.
Flares are made by Fokker....

BTW - I have FVD Flares

TB993tt,
Do you have the 14" flares FVD offers along with their side skirts? I think it's FVD part number 504392 for the flares and 504395 for the side skirts? Also, can you please advise what the specs are for your wheels? I know they're BBS Motorsport, but what size, width, and offset? Thanks.

Flares are the ones FVD sell for turbo bodied 993s with matching side skirts...

Wheels are exact same dimensions as OEM GT2 Speedlines from memory 11X18ET18 9X18ET34

Thanks all for your input..TB993tt ,one question with standard offsett you certainly have some
spacers on the rims..right?
Ps that blue 993tt looks all the world like Grahems GT2 albeit with a slightly different bumper..

They are standard GT2 offset with no spacers. This offset on a factory GT2 really needs 7mm shims at least to fill out the arches but one of the features of bolting your own arches on means you can make them fit very close to the edge of the wheel for that "spaced out" look - so my arches are slightly less wide than the factory....

Totally with due respect and IMO of course the FVD arches are nicer than the factory arches, there are subtle differences in the curve of the front flares and the epiletical (sp) recesses for the rivets (bolts) when the factory just has circular. Together with the side skirts and the way they meet snugly with the rear arches - I think it looks a lot more modern than a factory GT2 which (I know is sacriledge to say) I find a little old fashioned looking nowdays in the flesh compared with mine and the huge spoiler (although necessary and functional) has always looked far too OTT......
