fiberglass for 911
Have any of you had any experience with fiberglass from a company by the name of The Racers Group or with MAShaw?
If so, could you please give me feedback on your pleasure or dis-pleasure with the quality and fit of their parts.

Racers group buys from the same place MA Shaw, and ourselves buy from: Getty Design in riverside california. They make some of the best quality 'glass available

Fiberglass
Thanks for the information.
Either MA Shaw, or The Racers Group publish prices lower than Getty. Any idea why?

Just a thought, maybe you should drop TRE Cup a line and check out his prices..........

MA Shaw was excellent with their product and customer support. Could not recommend him highly enough. I would buy from him again in a heartbeat.

Catca and Lukesportsman,
Good point, and I will send him (them) a pm. After buying several 914 fiberglass pieces over the years, and replacing a fg front bumper from a different company, I had concluded that most "fiberglass manufacturers", ie GTRacing, AIR, etc., are resellers and that they all buy from the same manufacturer, or they all copy designs from each other. I had not come across Getty. Thanks for the information, guys.

Corrections for daleflesburg: Getty Design, AIR, and GT Racing ARE manufacturers.
MA Shaw, TRG, Rennspeed, and ourselves are resellers that buy from them. Like the first three, we have our own proprietary molds for some of our products, while the rest of our line depends on them
