payment received, sure, we will reserve one for ya, now down to only one available for local pick up since one of the 5 we received was slightly chipped during shipping so we won't be offering it for sale unless someone is interested in getting a discounted price on a defective unit.

Waiting on shipping costs before I sign up. I have a factory lip that I bought from the dealer on my convertible and it is fairly light. Would have sent it, but I just saw this offer tonight.

As to realistic shipping, cost of boxes is a variable. BUT, sending a rear spoiler (much heavier) in a custom build wooden box I put together from VA to CA cost approximately $20 with FEDEX Ground. So, if someone is paying $45 to ship the lip from MN to CA, shipping was gold plated or fairly speedy. Ground takes about 5 days. As said, the box is the variable as those costs and whatever the padding is composed of will be of interest.

Waiting on costs estimate totals and pictures. So far, it looks exactly like my factory piece. Nice job!!!

20$ to ship a stock spoiler in a wood box fedex ground? I call big BS....

Besides, at the size of the box required, weight is not a factor in the pricing at all for UPS or fedex ground between those two pices.

Anyway, it dosnt matter, we should not be thread jacking.

He will come up with the price and that is what it will be.

Mr. Rocklobster...not to denigrate your reply, but that is what I paid. Your reply though is childish ("calling BS"? what is this, 8th grade?).

In any case, waiting on the shipping price as everyone else is. And no, not turning the thread into anything else, just waiting on total price.

OP, please ignore the vitriol and provide the requested information at your leisure. Ultimately it isn't going to matter what I paid. Its important what you want for shipping and your time in shipping these bulky boxes.

Yes, the shipping quotes are coming out soon, we are very sorry about the delay and we are trying our best to work everything out. Thank you for your patience.

Alright, thanks to SE7ENS_GARAGE (Andrew) and his friend John, here are some test fitting pics. We did not fully install the lip and it was only held up by about 3-4 bolts so some parts of the lip was actually hanging.

Yes, the deadline of this GB is first week of April so this will be open by end of March.

As I have mentioned before, it is possible as long as we get 15 deposits on top of the 5 lips that are already made. We announced that the shipment can come in earlier than the deadline only when we get 15 deposits on top of the 5 sample lips. Once we get the 15 deposits, we will get the factory to send out 20 lips and we will start distributing them.

So we will need 6 more deposits as of today to get the shipment ready.

can i have a pic of the damaged one? how bad is it? how much cheaper do you think it would be? its going on my autox car anyway, so if its not that bad, ill take it.
pics look good by the way.


and, to the guys arguing over shipping earlier, i shipped a 23 lbs. clutch kit to canada last month for $9.53. so, it just depends, i guess. hopefully we will be lucky. especially since he will be shipping a bunch of them. maybe a discount from the shipping company?

The defective unit has been spoken for and the buyer will have until Wednesday to reply to us. If it's not gone by then, it will be up for sale.

The price for this defective unit is $120 + shipping. Shipping will be worked out within couple days since we had a recent delay on the box orders at the factory.

Here are the pictures of the actual defects on the lip:

Alright, we hunted around and this is the best price we found. Shipping is estimated to be $40 within the continental US via DHL. (This is already including the costs of boxes and insurance)

yes, you will need to send in $40 + 3% of 200 = $46

For those of you who only sent in a $50 deposit, the total amount due is $156.

For those of you who sent in $180, the total amount due is $26

If you are doing local pick up, you can save the $46 of shipping and paypal charges.

Got a stupid question, will these fit on a S4 with our modification, or would it be a PITA to put on. If minor modification or none is required ill take a CF one.

Probably want to check the 2nd gen tech section. I have heard of people putting S5 lips on S5 bumpers before though, yes.

Just to remind those who have not sent in a deposit yet, the deadline is in 4 weeks.

For those of you who want to do local pick up, you have to notify us by email at least 3 days before your desired pick up date. Thanks!
