GT2 front bumper and decklid wing

I tried my best searching the forum for an answer, but not much luck, so hope this is not something that had been asked before.

For GT2 bumper and decklid wing, which brand fits better? Misha or Mashaw.

I have see happy members for both products, but which one fits better? Have anyone seen both in person?

Thanks..

Haven't seen Misha kit, but my MAShaw kit fits great.
My only criticism is that the front vent is not carbon fibre, but I just painted it along with the mesh in the lower intakes.

Did the MAShaw front bumper come with the Carbon Fiber lip that is in the pictures?

What color did you paint the vent and the mesh screens?

Can't remember exactly how much the Front bumper was but it was less than on the site give them a call they'll deal. Want to say it was $1200-$1300 and yes it comes with the carbon lip.

Painted the vent and mesh flat black.

Nice ride you got there. It is exactly how I like my car to look in future.

Is that the Mashaw GT2 decklid wing with carbon blade?

Also do you have any close up pics of the front openings of the bumper?
As I recall that members on the board said that there will be a gap in the air ducts behind the bumper. If it is not obviously, I am ok with saving money on this prone to be hit piece on the car.

Thanks.

Hi, yeah it is the MA Shaw GT2 decklid and carbon wing. There are no gaps visible on the outside of the bumper.

I think what you mean is that the air ducts for the radiators behind the bumper need modifying so the bumper will fit. They just need cutting back 1/2" to an 1"

If this isn't what you mean and need a couple more photos let me know.
