They take their time, make sure it fits perfectly and if it doesn't they scrap it.

Do a little homework on it, and you'll find out why it costs so much.

You forget though...Vorsteiner built there E46 stuff on replicating the original E46 CSL from BMW....so they are doing the same what others are doing....what goes around comes around. 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?

Yeah, so far communication has been good. A claim was already filed with UPS and I will get a replacement lip...in 10-14 days though.

Does anyone know if these "other brand" lips and diffusers are structually weaker than the Vorstieners? Will they break easily, or is that the same with the VRS's?

The Vorsteiner lip is made with same process CF overlaid FRP, so it's supposedly the same. Don't expect them to hold up well upon impact. They usually crack right up.

i just ordered a v-style lip too

They are all the same, just because its VRS doesnt mean its any stronger or weaker....They generally all come from the same location that makes the lips. The same goes for the wheels.. (DPE,HRE,VRS,360,IF,etc...)

Don't get me started on the 3-piece "premium" forged rims...... One thing is for sure is that iForged inherited the facility that HRE used to use. Their quality is just not up there. Not that the other ones are that great either.
