I haven't tried them. Not bad looking IMO (even though I prefer more of a "stock" look). What's up with "inquire for price" ? To me that says :
"OVERPRICED"...maybe it's just me, but, everybody publishes prices on the web - what could possibly be the advantage of not? My $.02...

A couple members on 6speed have some kits from them. Prices are pretty expensive but the quality was reported as good and ready to mount with only minimal prep.

Also, take into account that their parts are FRP fiberglass.

They said the front bumper would only fit up to MY 2001. The rear bumper would fit my 2004. Rear bumper price is $1200, side skirts are $1300 with shipping to the South East at about $200.

Yeah, that's like seeing "market price" next to lobster on the dinner menu.

Yeah, I get it...no such thing as a free lunch! That being said, They're right in South Florida and their prices aren't bad at all - compared to many others.

So after 8 weeks delivery time I received my bumper. I'm in the process of reviewing this and am trying to work out fitment problems with the seller. Please stay tuned . Outcome and pictures coming soon.

Looks really good, but I dunno if it's worth the "inquire for price" lol

I honestly prefer the factory aero kit on the 996, especially the MKI

Anyone ever tried FX Aero? They only build Porsche body kits and really seem to focus on the 996 and 997. I really like the look of the front bumper and the wing. Pricing seems competitive, they have been in business for 15 years.
