I can see this thread getting off topic from here on out.

Not really, just a one line rant. LOL~

I'll test fit the "OTHER STYLE" JL-Motoring lip on Tuesday or Wednesday (depends on how cooperate is UPS Ground. I'll report back on install / fitment.

The parts fit but some people also have fitment issues as well. Not trying to start a flaming war here, just stating out what is known.

The Vorsteiner lip looks similar to the ACS lip as well. There are some adjustments made.

if you look at the porsche line up that vorsteiner has, doesn't it looks very simliar to the techart stuff?

Since I'm debating on whether to go replica also, this kind of makes sense. This is just another way to justify getting the replica for myself,

Can't decide between the 2 styles yet so I'm waiting for some more customer feedback of the replicas. The 3D replics looks good, can't wait to see another install of this "other brand" one. If the vorsteiner original has fitment problems just like the replicas, I really can't convince myself to pay that much for it.

Look for my review of the 3D Design style lip spoiler later this week.

Just placed an order for the replica diffuser.

I'm still not sure about the lip. I'm worried it'd get damaged to easily, maybe hitting a curb or steep driveways. I've already scratched the black underlining under the front bumper.

If you got the vorsteiner youll be fine as it doesnt hang any lower than stock. The 3d on the other hand.... be carefull. Im lowered on H and R's and i havent had any problems.

Been 5 days, still says processing. Kinda slow with communication also.

alpine335i · 02-13-2009, 09:08 PM

My Diffuser was supposed to be sent out thursday but i haven't heard from them. They haven't answered any e-mails since tuesday.

They are probably just really busy.......im sure they are swamped with orders lol..... when i first started this thread ive got at least 150 pm's and im sure about half those people bought one so lol.....

Just got word from JL-Motoring. They were going to ship out the diffusers, but had some clear coat issue. They're getting a new batch next week and will ship it then.

They offered to refund me, or credit me $50 for the inconvenience.

Glad they stand by their product.

I just installed mine. Will have pics up tomorrow. Great quality, shape and match to CFRP roof. Not inexpensive, though, but less than full trunk.
