I don't think I'm breaking any rules by copying the posting behind Carlito's link:

The facts: I did research regarding 997 after-market wings and people satisfied/dissatisfied with their purchases. I did hear some dissatisfaction with NR AUTO and the quality or the lack thereof for their parts. Well, after calling and personnally speaking with Neal/Marsha several times and being promissed a quality wing that would fit without any major fitmit issues I decided it was cost effective to buy a NR AUTO wing. While waiting a month for a "new" mold to be formed, because the last mold was producing sub-par wings, I finally received the wing. The wing blade and base was laid on the car. I say laid because the fit was so horrorable the base would not fit into the area it was promissed to fit. My body shop tech called and stated he would not put this product on a Kia Sephia (no offense if you own a Kia Sephia). I spoke with Neal again and advised him of the fitment issues. He stated he stands behind his products and this has happened before, and would "make it right" for me. I advised him the body shop would have to re-work the base to make it fit, and was he going to pay for the re-work. He stated, "Yes, to make it right." Well, after all said in done and the work that was needed, I sent Neal a copy of the re-work receipt that I paid. He stated that he would only pay half as he out-sources his work and does not manufacurer his parts only sells them! I advised him that I purchased from him with a promise of "guaranteed fitment", and if any fitment issues were involved he would, "make it right". Well, I learned a valuable lesson: CAVEAT EMPTOR WITH NR AUTO. If you have a 100k car do NOT skimp on quality even with promises and buy the right quality your car and peace of mind deserves. He has failed to "make it right" with his product and pay the cost of the re-work. MY ADVISE DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM NR AUTO, AND DON'T SKIMP OF THE QUALITY OF YOUR PORSCHE.

The blade is obviously made from two pieces and cheaply bonded as it is now splitting. DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM NR AUTO!

 

Pv- thanks for the copy paste. I spoke with Neal he on the phone for about 30min he seemed like a straight foward guy toke the time to explain everything and what not. I told him i would like a gt3 kit without center exhaust that would also work with my .1 tail lights which he has and as well for the front bumper all were plug and play. He said the 3.8 wing replaces the part where the wing goes up and down and that none of the electronics would have to move pretty much a direct fit. Perfect fit in his words. His prices for the kit were good. I just dont know what to do now. Has things changed since 2010 from that issue? Who knows wish i knew that. Anyway now im kinda hesitant of buying it where i know the term you pay for what you get even though its not that cheap. I guess ill browse around more amd do some more research. Thanks for that again.

These pieces never fits precisely. Be prepared to pay some extra (sometimes a lot, sometimes its worth it) to make it fit.
I would call the body shop that you know and ask them if they have a preferred manufacturer, so if it doesn't fit right its not all on you.

 

Good point i will ask the shop.

 

I'm currently running the NR 997.2 3.8 wing and the fit and quality is pretty spot on. Honestly when your using anything thats not OEM its always going to be a hit or miss, mold or no mold. At the end of the day a really good body shop is where all the misses are corrected. When using after market pieces be prepared to pay at the shop. You save a little on the parts but pay more at the body shop. Like the other member said, communicate with whoever or wherever your getting the body work done before purchasing. I was turned away by a very reputable body shop because they didn't want to work with any after market parts, they were afraid of their good name being scared in the event the parts didn't fit properly.

GL op. I believe your in NY so if you want to meet up one day and check my fit and finished parts just shoot me a PM and we can set up a meet up time. This might make your decisions a little easier.

 

We used their polyurethane 996 GT2 bumper on our 996TT and even though it was not a "perfect" fit we knew that any aftermarket bumper was not going to be. Our body shop that we work with charged us $600 to paint and install the bumper. We were happy with the finished product.

 

M3 thanks for the info ill PM you. Chris thanks man i guess theres really no way around it for a perfect fit.

 

Only way to get a perfect fit is to go full OEM...

 

$$$ im a small fish in a big tank lol guess i gota keep hustling lol. Just spoke to my body guy he pretty much has done it all so he told me tell NR if the body shop opens the box and sees its crapolla hes sending it back lol. Guess ill mention that to NR when i place the order. NR says its a direct fit so lets see. Im starting to crindge already lol
