Interested in the flares, stock style bumpers(flared), rockers(flared), and so on. Their prices seem almost too good.

I just put rennspeed stock ft and rear bumpers on and they did not take much adjustment for a good fit. finish is good and they come with the brackets. They take a little shimming and grinding but they look nice. when I get it of the stands I will post pics.

I've heard mixed comments on other stuff from Rennspd...
I bought the flared fenders from Rennspd.
They look nice and the layup is good quality, but they need some work.
For me that is not a problem. Biggest reason for choosing them was that they were the only ones that could ship the stuff to my place at reasonable cost.

If I were in the states, I'd get the Getty stuff though.
I don't think I ever heard any bad reports about their stuff.

F/g is not hard to work with, but the time and agrevation you save yourself making f/g parts fit, would be well worth some extra $$$

I had a bad experience with the Rennspeed front gt valance full of cracks, wavey, poor fit. I order through Getty now you get what you pay for.

I'm having fiberglass bumpers and valances fitted to the car from Rennspeed. The fiberglass is nice and thick, but none of the pieces fit well. The rear valance was actually a good 2 inches short on the sides when mounted, necessitating end pieces to make them fit - and it seems the brackets for the bumpers were just glassed on without any thought to alignment. Maybe I just got a bad batch?

I got F/R stock style bumpers, flares and flared rockers from them. The flares and rockers went right on. The bumpers needed a little work.

Yeah, I think they just glass on the metal mounting brackets. They holes were close, but both mine needed to be shimmed a bit. Not a big deal. The front bumper went right on. The rear needed to be trimmed up a bit. Otherwise, the look great and fit well.

I wanted to get the glass lids next. I think I will too, I have been happy so far.

I have bought lots of stuff from Peter at Rennspeed, I have been very happy with everything I have got from him. Nice things about it is I can just go pick the stuff up, no shipping.

I've got fenders, quarters, bumpers, rockers, front valence and door skins from him, gonna get the trunk/hood & targa top to finish off the deal. Mine is a race car, so perfect fit isn't as crucial, although I want it to look nice. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Pete is also a very nice guy. That alone is worth dealing with him. Has anyone already purchased/fit lids yet? It is sort of the next thing to do on my list. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
