VRS group buys :-(

I would love to do that for you, but that wouldn't be fair to the other Vorsteiner dealers and, not to mention, it would be frowned upon by VRS, for that reason. But, check out that previous post. Maybe Polyurethane might be a really good, cost-effective choice for you when that comes out.

Send me a PM for a quote. Maybe I can help you out with the shipping cost.

Stay tuned... pricing and actual release date will be announced soon.

We had a meet in Thousand Oaks, CA last night. Check out Chompino's Vorsteiner front lip painted body color. This is what the new Polyurethane lip might look like on your car.

Break out your Econ 101 book and read my previous post. The M3 parts are NOT the same as the 335 parts, with the exception of the bootlid and THAT IS the same price for both cars.

I knew if I even replied to this post, I'd have a busy afternoon. I'm done for today. You guys fight amongst yourselves and have a great weekend. LOL

If i remember correctly, you guys got into the business from making replica parts. LOL hypocrites.

In the end, its all made in Taiwan anyway. Where do you think Vorsteiner gets their products made??

But honestly i can care less if its real or not cause to me its a part that prone to get destroyed in NYC lol, therefore cannot justify spending that much on a lip. All I think vorsteiner should do is make the same exact lip in a non CF application for those who want to paint it and sell that accordingly. Then I wouldnt even think about goin replica.
same here i'm planning on painting mine, give us non Cf !!!

Not trying to add more.

I heard some of their products are made in somewhere in Asia.

All in all everything comes from the same places either in Taiwan, or mainland China.

Vorst. can mark up their prices because its "Vorstiner" just like how the clothing company BAPE can have ridiculous markups because of the "name" brand. Is quality any better than others? The answer is no, its just all hype/marketing.

So i think vorst. should stop hating on others when they started the same way by making "replicas"

Just consider it a compliment because imitation is the highest form of flattery.

So where are Vorsteiner's products made? USA, as they claim?

This issue has been brought up in other forums since 2005, and to date I have yet to see a picture of Vorsteiner's factory, which was supposed to be in Germany at one point in time and now in CA?

I think this would be a perfect opportunity for Vorst. to come back with proof of a domestic or German factory. Otherwise I'll assume the worst.

My anology is like Victoria Beckham (wife of David Beckham)

I see two apples sticking on her chest and she keeps on insisting she never had any plastic surgery, while the proof is there all the years...

As long as David loves her, thats enough....why worry

Many of us have been to their manufacturing facility before and it's here in the US. I've been there several times.

Ok, i know for a fact it started in Taiwan...then supposedly moved Germany, now in certain places in the U.S.?

lol the moving companies must have made a fortune. Anyway, lets see some pics of the manufacturing pics from the U.S. or the German ones. Ill be in Austria early next year, id like to take a tour if possible for the Germany plant...if it exists.

I have been there as a well a few times. There so called "engineers" are actually Home Depot werkers that dont know english. I was shocked amongst all this BS about them. Vorsteiner makes there products out of surf board resin/ polyester resin, also there parts are ALL backed with 75% fiberglass. So that "CF Roof" I have on my E46 M3 is actually a "fiber glass roof" and Ihave cut a lip in half to prove this, and yes. do ahve pictures.....Reason I do this is because I have spent over $8,000 + with this BS Co, and bought there basically "FIBERGLASS PARTS WRAPED IN CF PARTS"
