GT2 Bumper Differences?

I am looking into purchasing a GT2 Front Bumper and there are a few to choose from.
MaShaw, NR Auto, Precision Porsche are a couple makers and then there is Duraflex which is about half the price.
I have seen Duraflex's youtube videos and it seems like a good product.
What are the differences between MaShaw, NR Auto and Precision Porsche as far as the GT2 Bumper goes, and would you not buy the Duraflex bumper?
Why or why not?
Thanks Fellas.

I saw an MaShaw GT2 bumper this morning, I really didn't prefer it to be honest. The big issue I had was the unique grill section below the Porsche badge on the hood (between the hood and the bumper). It appears to be made out of the same material as the rest of the bumper. Not sure how all of the other GT2 bumpers are, but I would prefer to have the GT2 grill parts here, the MaShaw just didn't look right to me.

Does the Precision Porsche GT2 bumper use the GT2 bits here ?

I got your pm and will respond when I get back in the office monday.

I can speak of our gt2 bumper and we do use the OEM lip and top intake grill. Ours is made of fiberglass just like 95% of our other products.

I have this mod on my, maybe someday list. I have no experience with this company, but they make pretty much every panel in CF which caught my eye. Here is a link to their catalog for the 996. They have the GT2 bumper in there. I'm sure you can find someone that will get you straightened out. Let us know if you pull the trigger and how final fitment is.

Justin

should have mentioned, manufacturer is Getty Design.
