The body kit looks NICE! How do they fit? Are you thinking of doing this?

I'm a big fan of FVD - and have purchased quite a lot from them - but the front vent just doesn't look right. They took a 997/987 style vent and grafted it on a 996/986 nose. It's too far forward from the hood line and looks tacky. A better option would have been to fashion a 996 GT2 vent onto the same bumper.

Love the rear bumper though.

Looks great, but is it Fiberglass?

Hello All,

The front bumper, side skirts and rear bumpers are made of GFK, this should help:

GFK or "Glasfaserverstärkte Kunststoffe" is best described as "Fiberglass-reinforced plastics". They are a fiber plastic group from plastic (e.g., polyester resin, Epoxidharz or polyamide) and fiberglass*. Many German Tuners have used this material for years now as it has a more elastic "give" and is less prone to shattering than pure fiber glass, it has greater anti-coorosive properties and ultimately lasts longer.

If you would like more information check Wikipedia under "Glasfaserverstärkte Kunststoffe" this should be very helpful, although you may have to translate.

Thanks,
Rhonda

I just wanted to post some pictures sent in by one of our clients with a 2002 Boxster S. This is the complete kit without the front vent.













If anyone has questions please pm me or email me at rhonda@fvd.us as I am currently in Germany

Thanks Mike! I think so as well. I would really like to see the kit on a car that's lowered, with some spacers and a nice exhaust with big dual tips. I think the kit would really look exceptional then...

do you have any pics of the gt3 front bumper, I agree 997 front just looks weird for some reason, maybe it's because the lights are missing.

Jerseybean,

Danke,

Sorry I was asking for pics of the 987 gt3 bumper, it has the lights and looks better with in IMHO. What's the latest prices on these, I might need 1x986 front and 1x987 front, same for rears as well. Do I qualify for PCA club race price?

Fornowh,

Thanks for your interest. I would highly suggest getting a quote from your local body shop as the bumper must be fitted to the car then painted. The fitment is very good but it is a Glass Fiber Composite peice and is best to fit then paint.

Thanks,
Rhonda

Jerseybean,

pm me with your email address and I can send you an offer with special package pricing. You would certainly qualify for the PCA discount.

Thanks,
Rhonda
