Hmm interesting. I like that GT2 front bumper!
However, it's made of fiberglass or carbon fiber reinforced plastic? Not good for a front bumper as either of these types breaks easily, unlike polyurethrane, no?

My F430 had Fibreglass Body and it was fine. Repairs were made to the bottom of my bumper (scraping) all the time at a reasonable cost.

Anyone else?

I love the look of a GT2 and having that look with the AWD of a TT would be great.

I have been debating the GT street, butI find the front and rear bumper a little over the top, especially the cutouts on the sides of the rear bumper and the front side intakes.

I find the GT2 kit more classy, yet still sporty and aggresive.

My mind is ont yet made up though.

Stay away from knock offs as much as you can. They will almost always have fitment issues. Even high end brands like Techart have fitment issues sometimes. Also, fiberglass kits are difficult to work with during install if it does not fit properly. It is also difficult to repair.

I just don't understand this. With a replica GT2 kit don't they just taken mold of the parts?

It's not that easy my friend. Of course they just take a mold off of a real kit, but that is all they do. There is no engineering behind it. It's just a copy. Companies like Techart, Vorsteiner, and any other reputable tuner spend a lot of time making sure that the fit and finish is all there.

Given the huge price difference as long as fitment is good, it does not matter.

My F430 bumper is fiberglass and I had it repaired many times due to speed bumps.

Repair is easy, it's just about fitment.

What people on the forum have NR Auto Gt2 or GT Street kits.

It would be good to get their opinions on fitment and quality.
