OEM gt2 or fibreglass? I like it, but my only criticism now is that you will need skirts to match the depth of the front ?? or is the stance ok ? I couldn't imagine having mine that low, the standard TT front scrapes everywhere here !

Yes, what was ducting like? Was this just a bolt on? Looks awesome...

I just did the cosmetic bumper - no full GT2 conversion. I did have to cut some of the underside of the bumper to get it to turbo specs where the air comes out from the underside instead of going up. Not much work - just some measuring, using the turbo air duct part from under the car as a template, then some jigsaw action!

The fit was spot on and wouldn't have had to do anything if I did a full GT2 conversion...

It is a fiberglass replica from Precision.

I agree, the Precision Evo lip is very low and wider than OEM. I think it looks ok, but may not last long anyway :-)

No GT2 ducting conversion, but with the mesh I installed, the radiator ducts can't been seen clearly to see any mismatch! If you get down there and analyze it, you can tell, but only I would probably notice! I think someone makes some fiberglass radiator duct replacements to solve that problem, but I didn't see it as a big issue and I wanted mesh anyway...

Looks great. Just curious can you PM the estimated costs for this type of work? I am think of doing a techart or GT2 bumper.

Chad looks awesome, really like how you have made your car unique without going over the top, I used the same stuff from customcargrills but zip tied it instead, it has held up well over the past year including three 2 day DEs
