Default Spec 996 body parts?

I'm building a dedicated 996 DE car. Looking for spec 996 style front bumper cover, side skirts, and rear deck. Anyone have any inside info on where to get the best price/quality mix? I've used mashaw stuff on my 993 and 997 and have been happy. Also, I'm a cash buyer for used stuff in good condition.
Thanks in advance!

Getty and GT-Racing. When I had to replace some parts after hitting a barrier, Getty was 10X better to work with.

I have carbon fiber 996 fenders, 996 GT3 front bumper, hood and side skirts. All were purchased from GT Racing for a project that I never finished. So they are "used", but have never been installed or seen a single lap. I'll sell them all for 75% of the new cost + shipping. PM me if you are interested.

Thanks for the replies! We will be receiving the donor car in the 2nd or 3rd week of Jan. I’ll be in touch then!

Stay away from GT Racing. Fitment was crap compared to Getty. I had a front bumper which mount was 1.5" off center. GT racing said that all fiberglass needs work..... but refused to admit or send me a new bumper. Again, mount was 1.5" OFF CENTER.
Getty was by far the best fiberglass I ever received or worked with. (Fenders, doors, bumpers)
