<$200 shipped.

He has both an S4 and S5 version - note the drop down list in the web page.

From what I can tell, he makes them to order.

Mine took about 3 weeks.

I like it.







Mounting hole location work.









I was driving through some grass & hit a tree stump.

It broke out a chunk of the lip, but had it been any stronger, the damage would have been far worse.

It turned out to be an easy FG patch instead of a major bumper repair.

I'm still happy.

I finally got around to connecting the stock front bottom pan to the trailing edge of the splitter.

My AC now seems to work better.

I forgot to ask when I posted earlier in this topic, but why in hell did you call it a chin spoiler? It must be an east coast thing...

It seems like "spoiler" has become sort of a generic term for aero stuff.

Us amateurs mostly refer to vertical things as dams, and horizontal things as splitters & wings.



I'm sure the aerodynamics guys are much more specific.

The urethane one needed a bigger group buy than I would need to justify making them.

agreed. i do like the idea of making them to order though. if people really want one, like myself, they will be willing to wait. especially if they are urethane and they can't get them anywhere else even the dealership.

The problem with that is I would have to eat the cost of the mold, and just hope that I get enough orders to cover the cost. Given this crowd, it doesnt take an econ major to see just how risky that is from my end.
