Initial read is 'overall good' quality (per me and the shop initial look) but the true test of a dry fit has not happened yet.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 2Original post

I ordered the Mashaw Turbo bumper a couple of months ago. In view of the poor quality, the shop decided not to install and sent it back. Net, not a positive experience. Also, you're moving away from OEM. Might potentially even hurt your resale value ("Has the car been in an accident?")

POST 3Original post

Roy, I just bought one of the GT3 knock off bumpers from Precision Porsche. It is at the shop now. Initial read is 'overall good' quality (per me and the shop initial look) but the true test of a dry fit has not happened yet. It is fibreglass, so it has some addit. prepping (remove any pits) and will take more gentle care as to not scrape it hard during driving. Will keep you posted. I liked the Gt3 bumper over the Gt2 and turbo (pre facelift version) since it seemed truer to the car's lines. IMO of course. Will post follow up. Rb

My current front bumper was replaced by the previous owner with a non oem bumper possibly urethane , and now it is pitted the paint is cracked , so I found oem turbo bumper that might look pretty cool and yes the Gt3 bumper is cool too so send pics when its done ( I would have to changeout tmy headlights to do the turbo bumper, so it will happen soon

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Precision Porsche is actually a few miles from me so I would be interested in the outcome of your new bumper , how well it fit and any problems associated with it

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yves , no accidents just someone backed into the bumper and cracked the paint , would like to stay oem , so I am exploring options

POST 7Original post

An OEM bumper my cost less in the long run. If the quality is not good you will end up paying the paint shop for a lot of prep work. I just put a factory MKII aero kit on my car and the shop had zero problems with the install. No cash surprises at the end. The wheels are not the wheels I will be using. This is a track set.
