First post, so I might as well go all in...
I have fallen completely in love with the 996.1 aero kit, so I'm trying to source a decent quality, still affordable set for my own 996.1 C4. I've stumbled across two kits from porscheshop.co.uk where one of them contains OEM side skirts and the other has glass fibre replicas. Both kits have the OEM front bumper and glass fibre replica "taco" wing. The one with the OEM skirts is nearly 1000 GBP more than the glass fibre version. First; does anyone have any experience with these kits and the quality of the parts? Second; is the OEM side skirts worth the extra cash over the glass fibre ones? (I'm not thinking about resale value, only how good the fitment is and the durability of the part itself). I can definitely live with having "not genuine" parts on my car if it looks the business and the quality is decent.
I know it is possible to find used, genuine GT3/aero parts on ebay, but from what I've seen it'll probably cost me way more in the end to have it prepped and repainted to match my car...
Cheers,
