Since it fits the topic I figured I'll throw this in here.

When instaling a GT2 replica bumper, did anyone have to move the radiator brackets forward? I'm having just a tad of an issue with the front portion of the wheel liners lining up correctly.

 

Must be the Misha. Did not have to do on the Precision Porsche. Can you post a picture of what you are talking about?

 

I'll take a picture later one. I'm supposed to get all the plastics for the undertrays today as all of them were missing and I'll get a better idea on how everything else lines up. Btw. The bumper I got is supposely a MA Shaw not the Misha.

 

Call Mike at MaShaw - Great guy, great customer service.

 

Sent an e-mail from their website. We'll see how they respond.

Looks like their bumper doesn't require the plastic cover tray that the stock one needed. It's not lineing up on the brackets on the underside but maybe it just needs to be gently persuaded. I don't want to screw anything up thou so I will not take chances.

 

call him. mike is double my age! he does stuff via phone. great guy though!

 

+1 Definitely not the most computer savy guy, but he's been around the game and is very knowledgeable.

 

I sent him pictures that the guy that sold it to me sent me and a copy of an invoice along with it. I also called him as you guys suggested.

Mike seems like a very nice guy very talkative and friendly. Definatelly a relationships guy.

He said that there's been some copies of his bumper that were being circulated out of california. Chances are mine is one of them but he wasn't sure as he said that the replicas didn't some with a carbon fiber lip and mine does as you can see below. When we spoke he didn't have a chance to look at the pics I've sent him, but promissed to let me know if he does.

One thing he pointed out to me was that I need to trim the air ducts....which I haven't done. Ayone have any pointers as to what areas need to be trimmed?



Update:

I've fitted it today without the air ducts and it's definatelly the air ducts as without them it fit like a glove. So, again, any pointers as to what needs to be trimmed?

 

Yeah I have not seen one with a carbon lip. Who did you buy it from? It looks good! For the ducts, show us an upclose pic of them and where it hits?

 

Well, I bought is from a guy that said he didn't install it, he said it was a MaShaw. Mike didn't confirm if it is one of his, however he did say that MaShaw comes with a CF lip. The one I got was dull, and I had to paint the underside black and wetsand and clear the lip to bring out the shine.

As far as the ducts i was hoping you guys could let me know what to trim so I wouldn't have to take the mesh apart to inspect it.

 

I have never done the MaShaw, only Precision Porsche. Sorry

 

sorry to dig up and old thread but great write up! Thanks!
