Please give feedback on this bumper!

Hi guys!

First post here and looking for some advice. I would like to do a bodykit to fix up my 2000 C2 cab. I've been looking around for an aggressive kit to spice up the C2. So far the nicest kit I have come across is this GTR Aero kit by Fiberwerks. Has anyone had any experience with the bumper?? Any pics installed and painted?? Look really good on there site but I haven't seen a picture of it painted. Tell me what you all think, check it out here: http://www.fiberwerks.com/996_front_bumpers.htm






Thanks for your help!
Luca

I've seen that kit in person. Those photos were taken at the Porsche in the Park show in Sarasota. It looks pretty good!



Jstrat: I have to ask.... What is going on with the rear quarter panel of your car?

I love the bumper but, they really need to start making the front ducts to the rads as well. The way it is.... you are reducing air pressure to the coolers. Maybe the techart ducts will fit.

Thanks for the replies guys!

I wasn't actually aware that it was fiberglass but it looks so good I don't think it matters. I can't wait to see it painted and installed on that nice red! I think fiberwerks has done an amazing job removing the corner lights and creating the bigger intakes, gives the car a real aggressive look. Think I will put my order in this week!
