any experience with mashaw gt2 bumper
looking to replace stock bumper for gt2 bumper. im aware that if i go oem i will need to change radiator brackets and a few other pieces. since its a bumper and the first thing to go, i rather not incurr the added expense.

wanted to know if anyone had experience (fitment and quality) with mashaw.

i spoke to mike and he sounds like a stand up guy. took his time to explain everything.

however i still want to know if anyone had any issues with quality and fitment.

MASHAW and Getty Design 2 companies that make excellent quality stuff! I used to sell many of their products. +1 for either of them!

good to hear. are the gt2 bumpers somewhat strong, or do they crack easily.
anyone else with some more feedback?

Quality YES
Very good company to work with! Went to there shop in Santa Ana and they installed my part for me. Great bunch of people and very detail oriented. I would highly recommend them. They added sleeves to my Turbo CF GT spoiler to reinforce and thicken the post. Very good afterthought

Air,

Do you know if modifications are required with the MAShaw GT2 front bumper (eg moving the front radiators, etc...)?

I don't like bringing up dead topics, but I don't want to start a new one if its not necessary:
Does the MAShaw GT2 bumper not require mods because it fits fine, or is it setup where the original TT ducting is fully functional?
