Default More help, please

Thinking of a front air dam and side skirts for my 99 C2. Have looked at Better Bodies, MA Shaw, Getty Design, NR Auto. Who does the group recommend, or others? Not looking for the full aero, just a GT3 style front and am thinking of the side skirts with the fold at the door base.

Any suggestions, pictures are welcome.

Thank to all for what help comes my way.

I recommend going with OEM... they're flexible and hold up very well. I hit a cone going 85mph and only had to buff it out (note: I have 3m clear bra). That incident just paid for itself.

yup - go with OEM for the bumper. The spoiler is less critical, but the bumper takes a lot of abuse, so you want to be sure that you have a high quality part and paint job.

OK, got the sentiment. Anyone support the add on chin spoiler applied to the OEM bumper now on the car? Have seen a nice one at http://www.betterbodiesmotorsport.co...6splitters.htm

So what do the purists think?

again its fiberglass... if you want to do it, you need to do it all of the other bits. Doing just one section of the car looks unbalanced... But, Im not a fan.
