There are too many people in this thread w/ economic interests at risk that will prevent any rational discussion from occurring (4 pages long on this sub-forum is proof of that). This is typical of any thread involving negative info regarding Vorsteiner.
Vorsteiner has had severe QC issues in the past, and whether they've been rectified now is an unknown to me. Let's say they don't have those QC issues anymore...great. What's unnecessary is every vendor dogpiling onto the OP like he's a criminal. In my eyes, the owner of a company that takes the time to make an image detailing why someone he doesn't know is a "slanderer" is immature, extremely unprofessional, and shows he might have something to hide.

And to clarify im not saying that their parts are perfect but i would say that for all of the kits and parts ive ever worked with, and thats alot, Vorsteiner is definitely the cream of the crop. They are very few that can compare when all things are considered: price, quality, fit, service |

okay....jus read the thread. I don't know what to think of Vorsteiner but will hold off on purchasing a set of front lip/diffuser until all is confirmed.....I also specifically remember running into this thread.....
http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=481103 POST #16.... has pics of a Vorsteiner lip being cut and revealed the inside to be fiberglass /cloth, which in turn talks about this thread.... http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=183380[/URL] I...along with numerous members of this forum are following along......but for the price that Vorsteiner charges, one would think that quality should not be an issue, right??

I've been around this forum for a while and think that as of late, some vendors have been a little "loose" with their comments. Between this and the Gintani/OE thread, I start reading and I'm like, "I can't believe a business owner/sales rep would say that!" Guys, it's really not a good business decision to publically insult a member of a massively large pool of potential customers (even if you are totally right). It just shows me that the economy is kicking their ass and their aggresive posts are just signs of frustration. Vendors: If you ever want to get an idea about real professional conduct on a forum, pay very close attention to anything posted by IND. Those dudes are as good as it gets.

stay classy vendors... perhaps the OP's friend did get a kit that slipped passed QC, accidents happen, but I'm curious to know how it was handled after the fact by the vendor and/or Vort...as of right now, certain vendors seem to be more defensive and aggressive rather than proactive....real professional...

Just FYI, "slander" is verbal. Libel is written. Libeler would be the correct term.

if vorsteiner products were really 100% carbon, they'll show their entire production process. i think thats the best way to end all doubts.

very interesting thread just got more interesting imo.
I want to believe some of the vendors here and continue on with my life of "wasting" my money on my car (lol) but will have to hold off on Vorsteiner parts which I was planning/interested in buying or using. What other options do we as car guys have?? OEM splitters? besides Arkym or Revinora?

My Tour of Vorsteiner's Manufacturing Process (with Photos) *This is most likely why the OP felt the need to bash Vorsteiner's rep down a few pegs. Also, Vorsteiner never claims their products are 100% carbon - they claim they are carbon & DVWP, which is exactly what the OP's photos show. Furthermore you can see they use NOMEX in that thread - which is not carbon fiber. Google it. So, there's that. Click for detailed explanation of Vorsteiner's production process. In regards to the accusations re: professionalism, I respectfully offer a "PUH-LEEEZZE." You're kidding right? To the best of my knowledge, our company continues to be an exemplar of customer service and respectful conduct on this and about 8 other forums - when there is a legitimate complaint. The OP creates an account and then INSTANTLY posts this thread? You don't find that suspicious? We offer the same high level of service whether you have 2 posts or 2,000. We don't care. But if you are a libelous (thank you for the correction), lying, dishonest scam artist out to hurt hard-working honest business people and damage their reputations, well, I have NO interest in your business - neither does my company. To that effect, the OP is, quite simply, a phony. And you all know it. If there were a problem with the kit, and someone spent $24,000, they would have called Vorsteiner and asked for a replacement - which they would have NO DOUBT received (as people in this thread testified, sometimes parts don't fit right, but Vorsteiner always replaces them free of charge). I doubt their first course of action would have been to have their buddy create an account on M3Post and post photos bashing Vorsteiner. The simple facts:
To the original poster. I challenge you to post a photo of your "friend's" invoice here. $100 of my PERSONAL cash says you cannot do it - because it's not your friend. The photo of the invoice must have all EXIFF data, including a geotag, preserved in the file, to ensure integrity. I suggest taking it with an iPhone or Blackberry. I will not post in this thread again, unless I have the opportunity to post a "paypal payment sent" receipt" I'm done in this thread. If the OP materializes as a legitimate forum member, someone PM me the evidence. I will draft a full apology and send it with a check or paypal payment. Thanks to those legitimate customers who have reached out. JL Last edited by SV Concepts; 04-04-2011 at 02:35 PM.. |

But where I seriously have doubts is when I read Vorsteiner's claims that they have an autoclave. That's a hard one for me to believe without seeing it.

I dont think the parts are defective... with a lot of mods tweaks here and there it should be good in no time. oh and its 24k body kit... but for 24k i expect to be 100% fitment. NOT IN THIS CASE...

I have a VRS Type 2 and well... I don't think it's the best quality thing out there
I don't think it's bad by any means... but it's not crazy. I honestly feel my Revinora is better built The VRS feels really flimsy. but it looks sick so i like it
