Default Aftermarket bumper and aero rockers.Which companies offer the best quality?

Out of those of you that have experience with aftermarket front bumpers, which company/companies offer the best quality in terms of fitment, material thickness (fiberglass), etc. Also, if anyone has purchased a urathane unit rather than fiberglass, I'm curious about your experience with that, as well. I'm looking for a quality GT2 style front bumper to replace my wrecked one. The body shop called earlier today looking for direction regarding aftermarket brands. I'm also thinking that this might be a good time to add aero rockers.
Thanks!

Thanks. I looked at Techart, but I didn't see a GT2 replica bumper on their site.

Is the bumper on your Turbo a OEM GT2 type bumper? If not, many people have used Duraflex 996 GT bumpers with good results. But if your bumper was OEM, then I'd damage the Mercury Insurance replace it with OEM.

Go back to Techart website, follow the links to used Techart Parts, this will bring you to an ebay site in German, it will translate for you.
The inventory there changes all the time, it is mostly old inventory, I saved $1800 on my brand new Techart suspension.
