yep, I agree, I want to stay with poly.

Thank you to all the sponsors jumping in to provide feedback as well. I have already talked to some of you and I will ping the ones I haven't talked to yet privately to explore my options.

OP, I was on the same boat as you. It had to be poly, so the choices were only the Turbo look or the OEM Aero/GT3. It took me a lot of time giving it some thought. In the end, I decided to go with the OEM. I want this to be only a one time purchase and if I want my car to age gracefully, I believe OEM is the right choice. It looks aggressive enough, more period correct, and a look that integrates really well with the face of a Mk1. In the long run, you won't get tired of it and itch to change to another one. I got mine thru ebay for $1,400 new.
