Default Let's play, Name That Aero Kit!

Ok, can someone help me with this aero kit? The sides appear OEM, but that nose... pretty sure this isn't a Porsche piece. Wing looks like some GT2 type wing. Ideas?

Not oem, not by a longshot.

That looks like a turbo style rear-wing. Again, not OEM.

I don't even think the side skirts are OEM.... definately not the bumper or wing.... aftermarket all the way and probably fiberglass too....

Be careful in and out of driveways... fiberglass front bumpers tend to crack and spider the paint. That's why the OEM fronts are Poly....

The sides look like MK1 aero, maybe aftermarket version. Never seen the front bumper but I like it. And the wing is definitely not stock but I like it too. I think it looks good overall, but not sure about quality.....

I considered this aerokit along with a few others but in the end I went with the RUF RGT Aerokit. The MA Shaw kit is made form fiber reinforced plastic -- it is not as bad as fiberglass but it still is not as good as polyurethane, of which the OEM and RUF aerokits are made.

Is it my contact lenses, or does that front clip not even match, paint wise?

I was going to say the same on the paint, it looks off to me too.

It seems to match perfectly on my monitor, but my eyesight isn't anything to brag by any means.
