    Best fiberglass 911R bumpers and fenders?

    Did a search and only came up with one thread from 4 years ago. I would probably be going with front and rear bumpers, front fenders, and tail lights. Anyone have experience with any of these parts? I've seen some from TRE, Getty, GT Racing, etc. I have a feeling a lot of this comes from the same factory. Are any better than the others?

    Thanks

    My RSR project...GT Racing parts. Many, many hours of work to make them fit right.... They don't come from the same factory, at least not the ones from GT Racing. While in Colorado Springs, I stopped by the GT Racing shop and saw some of the molds...

    You left out MA Shaw from your list.

    I would call Dave @ TRE..

    I was quite pleased with the ones I got from Dave at TRE. Very nice workmanship and not too much fussing with the fit.( you're always going to do some!)

    Having used alot of fiberglass, I make my best effort to let people know to stay AWAY from GT Racing fiberglass. It has been the worst stuff I have ever worked with. Bumper mounts 2.5 inches off center, damaged fiberglass pre shipped that Hank never even bothered to call me back on (years ago).
    So in a word, stay far away from GT Racing stuff.

    Personally, Getty and MA Shaw was great stuff. I prefer Getty. That stuff is really nice.
    Thanks,

    My experience with GT Racing was very poor. The rear bumper I ordered didn't make it to the shop without the mounts dropping off - they dropped off because they were very poorly bonded. The bumper had to be completely redone.
