GT-Racing..VS...IFC.. Who's better?

I'm looking at ordering some body parts from either GT-Racing or IFC. Wondering who's parts are better in the fit and finish category? I have seen alot of fiberglass parts in the past that fit ok but the finish and texture was less than acceptable. Anybody have any experience with these manufacturers? Also...would prefer steel front fenders compared to fiberglass, just for durability reasons. Does anybody with a freshly crashed or parts 944 want to part with a pair?

Old enough to know better, and stupid enough to do it anyway!

Wolf...I use GT-Racing. No experience with IFC but not a very large inventory and hard to communicate with. Hank at GT-Racing is the best IMHO! The quality is very good and the finish on the flares and doors is as good as OEM. Hank also offers in Carbon/Kevlar also. A bit pricey but the best there is when it comes to body styling!! Sman

Wolf1,
10-4 with what 924Sman has to say. I've just finished my 924 GT conversion using only GT Racing parts and I can honestly say that fit & finish is top drawer. I'll have pics this week!!

No way! They haze over in no time and will leak immediately. I've seen them done on other conversions and you may have a hard time finding a replacement light when it goes out.
