TRE Motorsports Full 911R Conversion Kit Worth It?
I have been looking at the cost of 911R parts to convert to and came across the interior and exterior conversion kits for the 911r on TRE motorsports.
Does anyone have any experience with these kits? Are they good quality materials/parts. Will they be legal in australia? All help is appreciated. Cheers, Dean |

I can speak from personal experience, but most around here will praise TRE for their quality of parts and service. When I finally get to backdate a car, I'll be getting most of my parts from them.
Good luck with your project!

Ditto to what Doug said. TRE F&R IROC bumpers on mine, they fit and look great and are very well made.

Ditto, all the pieces I've gotten from Dave at TRE are excellent. And great customer service too.

TRE is a shop that works with the parts they sell. Dave picks and chooses the fiberglass vendor that makes the best part. Getty makes some parts, gt racing others etc... They know what they are doing. When it comes to fiberglass, customer service is more important than the lowest price.

Dean,
Be prepared for some nasty freight charges, the front and rear bars I purchased from suppliers in the US (not TRE) cost be more in freight than the cost of bars! Tony |
