Hi Everyone,

There appears to be a few different 914 fiberglass folks out there. Out of all these does anybody have a preference based on fit and finish?

I'm going for a GT look with steel flares. Any recommendation would be great!!

If you have links to sites let me know too!

Thanks

I suspect the lack of replies is because this has been asked and discussed on many threads.

Searchword fiberglass and click "titles only" yealds a plethora of discussions.

I was just on it and it worked OK, just a little slow. Of course my computer is probably toast now. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

That site itself was hijacked and got injected with a link to a virus download. That has nothing to do with your Mac. Any good browser should still warn you of a threat, regardless of what computer you use to browse.

After much experience, with several companies, I've settled on Getty as the only composite parts I'll use.

Getty makes great stuff.

I like QRS but you just have to call the guy. Do not go onto his site.

Jeff QRS Fiberglass 9515815537

Hard to beat his prices. The bumpers I got from him are perfect.

I bought GT glass flares for my racecar and they are very nice, very reasonable price too.

Same here, Getty parts in my experience fit much better than the others main lines offered. Now there are some people who build some super sweet CF parts, but they are $$$$$
