I am going to need front bumper, with oil cooler opening, and preferably with spoiler/spliter & hood.
What company is the best source for quality & fit?
Any pictures of options. Anyone with Fiberworks front bumper?

I have had great dealings with RennSpeed:

What about fiberglass rocker panels? Has anyone installed these to replace their dented rocker panels?

After looking at the car Evil Ed is working on I'd say to stay away from GT.

I have carbon fiber rocker panels.
I didn't install them though, they came on the car. I like the look a lot. I am pretty picky about things, and can't say that I can complain about the fit.
I believe they are from a guy named Carbon Fiber Eddie? I know for sure he did my rear bumper, which is paper think.

I've had bad product from Rennspeed and bad customer service.
I have been very happy with Getty.

I have a fiberwerks front bumper - still patiently waiting to be installed.
Quality looks very good to me. Better than the Pelican/Tweeks stuff I have. Sorry but I didn't have good luck with rennspeed either. Must say though that they are fair and gave me a refund.
Can't send you a picture of the FW bumper cuz I'm far away from home. If you really want a pic drop me a PM and I'll send you one in a week or two. Otherwise just call Karl at fiberwerks and ask him.

I'm just fitting my rockers from GT. The passenger side is barely acceptable and the driver's side is horrible. I'm going to have to grind the rear flaring almost all the way off and then lay up new glass. I also have their front bumper/lower valance and wish I had found another source before buying.

I had good service from AIR. Their flares are Hand laid as opposed to choper gun. Much lighter. GT racing's stuff is chopper gunned.

I agree with T.C., the stuff from GT is awful. My rockers are off by several inches. The GT bumpers are pittiful.
I would not use them again.

Thank you all. You have all saved me allot of wasted time & money. It is clear why GT is out, but what were the issues with Rennspeed? I will be doing a hood also.

I had a GT valance that was terrible, didn't fit well was wavy and full of cracks, wouldn't refund or take back, the guy I was dealing with over there Peter, actually tried to shift the blame on me like it was my problem.
I purchased through Rennespeed because there prices were the lowest,
Gettys prices are higher but they make quality product.

I know I keep throwing this picture around a lot on threads, but what can I say, I like it!
This car (mine) used flares, bumpers and rockers from RennSpeed. All had a nice fit and the flares were hand laid. All decent stuff. I had to trim the rear bumper a bit and the rockers. But the contours and fit was just fine.
Rockers and bumpers were hand laid as well.
