There is an assumption that when you ask for the best then price may not be too much of an issue

In case your question isn't necessarily Porsche-specific, for state-of-the-art creation, try Mclaren Automotive. Also try Moldex Composites Pvt. Ltd. and Boeing.

I have not seen anyone selling carbon or fibreglass parts that don't need trimming, filling or reshaping to get the correct fit.

A more expensive part the correct shape that bolts straight can save money in the long run once you factor in bodyshop fitting time but I've not seen anyone making this type of quality.

My front 930S valence is GT Racing. Not a bad fit although I had to build up the areas under the gators about 3/4 of an inch. The carbon fiber rear wing is MA Shaw. The whole thing had to be wet sanded and clearcoat applied as it was horrible even though it was supposed to be 'finished'. The quality was good other than the finish.

True - but the quality parts need a few hours of work; the crap ones need weeks of work...

I have seen DP motorsports new carbon fenders, doors, quarters, etc. and I hvae to say that they are amazing quality! 10x better then the stuff I've bought from the US vendors.
Speak with Patrick at DP. he is very helpful.
