+1 on checking this out! Once you bought "real" more expensive stuff like i did and ruined them within days, you come to realize these pieces are purely disposal items. Lesson learned especially for the lip >> Its guarenteed to get damaged! Cheaper alternative replacements become very very enticing. Its choice based on a practical approach imo. That said, if fitment is great... Im all for it. More power to you if you choose to buy more expensive "real" stuff every time.
Now, if the the real Vorsteiner parts are indestructible then thats a different story!

Completely agree and like he said it's a $70k car, not like it's a Ferrari or Lambo.

Parts came in today! All in all, I'm quite pleased. The diffuser exceeded my expectations, while the lip was basically what I was expecting.

I will try and get them installed asap so I can make sure fitment works (I have 14 days to return).

Here are some pictures I took... the photos of the products on the car, again, are not installed yet, just messing around with looks.

Thoughts?

Interesting in seeing what the installed lip looks like, since I think that's gonna be toughest one to get right.

Sorry, don't understand your comment. I wasn't being self-righteous, just stating facts... is that bad?

SaMaster14 · 03-29-2016, 02:15 PM

Install will be today! Will post installed pics ASAP if everything works out!

Hurry up already!

SaMaster14 · 03-29-2016, 07:57 PM

INSTALL PICS!

The fitment is not perfect... but I would say it's 99% there on the diffuser, and 90-95% there on the lip... which is perfectly fine with me! Let me know what you all think!

Xtabi · 03-29-2016, 08:33 PM

Looks really good to me!

Thanks! Definitely turned out better than I expected, I'm definitely pleased!

forza1976 · 03-29-2016, 09:15 PM

Looks great for the price. Fits better than my ebay diffuser... So nice find.

ecf34 · 03-30-2016, 12:44 PM

Wow the front lip fitment is on point!

I was actually the one who messaged the vendor last year and asked if they could bundle the lip and diffuser at a discount, and they made this listing. I'm glad it worked out for you!

Yup. I have a steep driveway, and even though my car is stock height, I scrape the lip every time I go both up and down... Thankfully it's mostly just scraped a bit underneath, but there is still already some chipping.

03Saleen · 03-31-2016, 02:45 PM

I'd recommend getting both pieces clear coated so they don't oxodise.

phantome46 · 03-31-2016, 05:42 PM

abnorM4l · 03-31-2016, 07:40 PM

The fitment looks pretty good from the pictures.

AM4ZING · 04-01-2016, 02:07 PM

Looks good Sam... Guess your gamble paid off

ohrich · 04-04-2016, 12:51 AM

That lip looks better than the M-Performance unit.

Alvinized52 · 04-04-2016, 02:24 AM
