MANUFACTURING DREAMS
SINCE 1987.

It started with a kid working the register at his family's grocery store, a 1966 911, and a widebody nobody was building yet. Nearly four decades later, we still make every part the same way — from our own molds, in Southern California.

Our story

A grocery store, a 1966 911, and a widebody that didn't exist yet.

Aronel Lopez started working at eleven years old. His family ran grocery stores on both sides of the border — seven or eight of them between Mexico and San Diego — and he worked nearly every one. Cashiering. Stocking. Purchasing. He was moved through every position in the operation until he understood how the whole system ran.

But it was a big family. Eight of them, plus his grandfather. His uncles were still young, and Aronel could do the math: any real ownership role was decades away. So he spent those years asking himself what he was actually going to build.

At twenty, he bought his first Porsche — a 1966 911 — and decided it was going to be a widebody.

“He'd drive up from San Diego to LA and Orange County, past shop after shop cutting slant noses and widebody 930s — and decided he'd build his own.”

He loved the work so much he didn't stop at his own car. He taught himself design, then how to cut molds for fiberglass production, and in 1987 he launched Better Bodies Motorsport.

It was a real learning process. He knew how to build a part — he didn't know the business. How to package it. How to market it. So he did it the slow way: walking into magazine stores, buying ad space, setting up at the Pomona swap meet, and building a reputation one shop and one customer at a time.

Those ads worked. Parts started shipping across the country, then across the world as the enthusiast magazines opened up international readers.

In 2005, everything changed again. Aronel learned to manufacture in polyurethane — flexible, crack-resistant, and far better suited to a car that actually gets driven than the rigid composites everyone else was selling. That work launched under the name GT3TEK, and it's still the core of what we build today.

Every piece we make carries the DNA of that first 911 project — authentic, uncompromising, and built to turn heads. And we're not done. We're still cutting new molds, refining techniques, and building aero for Porsche owners everywhere.

— Made in Southern California, one mold at a time.

What sets us apart

We're a manufacturer — not a reseller.

We cut our own molds

Every part starts as a mold we develop in-house, shaped off real factory body lines — more than 800 of them since 1987. That's why our aero lines up against the car instead of fighting it, and why we can answer fitment questions nobody else can.

Polyurethane since 2005

We moved to polyurethane for a reason: it flexes over curbs, driveways, and debris and springs back to shape, instead of chipping and cracking the way rigid fiberglass and carbon fiber do on the first real impact.

Real-world fitment

We fit these parts to real cars, not spec sheets. OEM-style mounting points, included hardware, and no cutting or trimming on bolt-on pieces — plus install videos so you know exactly what you're getting into.
