I've got it narrowed down to these three - the first two are from Tony at Precision and the last one is a lip from Xtreme Motor Cars. Thoughts on looks and any opions on the vendors are appreciated:

GT2


GT3




Lip

I like the GT2 the best, but the GT3 is pretty classic.

Well....I think you are going no wing still....so I would say....

GT 3 or the lip.....

GT 2 needs a wing in my mind.....others could get away with wing optional

#1 priority is the look - I vote for the the gt2 look if ando nly if you add the rear wing at some point . actually for all those bumpers, i'd add a rear wing. the front's too aggressive for a stock, non-winged rear end.

#2 is the vendor. i can vouch for tony of precision porsche. if you have an issue, he will own up. as for the int'l germany vendor... say some **** happens... that's a long distance phone call, that's different hours, that's a lot of pain in the **** even when it comes to basic communication. precision porsche is in... LA.
