GT2 Front Bumper - which is best

I'm looking for a GT2 style bumper for my 996TT. There are several manufacturers, which do you recommend? Getty Design, Vividracing? I'm a little worried about fitment on an aftermarket bumper. Do you recommend Fiberglass, Carbonfiber, or ABS plastic if it can be found?


Thanks,


John

So I ordered the GT2 bumper from Vivid, it should be here next week. Next on the agenda is a bbi autosport exhaust, bbi autosport pulley, and JIC/Cross suspension setup.
