Vorsteiner for me.

Whats the difference aside from hundreds of dollars between the 1000 spoiler and a 200 hundred dollar spoiler from Alibaba...because I'm sure alot of these high priced parts come from Chinese suppliers and can be had for 30% of these top brand products. And this being a global market now I'm about ready to cut out the middle man and get a group buy in some cosmetic lip spoilers. Whose with me? Lol

I would be more likely to consider it if I didn't buy the fangs (which I like). I would most likely buy an eBay special but I haven't been able to find any that look like the Vorsteiner. I do like that style.

Just by looking at the VRS AERO FRONT SPOILER, I don't see the motivating factor to spend upwards of $1500. Now some do, and call me cheap, but those cheap ones on Ebay and other cheaper sites makes it a no brainer. Its not a $1000 difference in style and appearance. Maybe in build quality but at the end of day nothing that low in front of a machine is gonna outlast the other. For 1500 I would just get the whole kit.

CF vorsteiner diffuser in my M6 GC had fitment issues. Paid $2200 for it and I expected no fitment issues. Further, after 2 years of having it on the car, it's all scuffed up, and definitely lost >50% of it's value. So if I were to do it over again, I'd save myself $$$ and get ones from ebay, etc.

RW Carbon seems to be a good compromise. They are more expensive than eBay but they have a fitment guarantee. I bought my rear diffuser there. Every other CF bit has been eBay or from the boards here.

What ever route you go, keep us posted. Always in need of some good feedback, to make better decisions.

Just a FYI, I ordered one off eBay about 3 months ago and it still has not arrived. The shipping is all messed up because of this covid. So I’m currently looking for one in the US lol

Which one did you order, or which vendor was it?

I found this company and had chatted with them online. Decent prices. They had a 10% "discount code" but had reduced it to 5% but then they said they would honor the 10% once I asked.

Shipping is a bit pricey though at about $200-$250 and they said it would take about a month. Was thinking maybe we can ask about a group buy but for me personally, I'm still debating if I should get CF or something else cause I'm thinking of painting the parts black.

EB-motoring, username On eBay is ebmotor-com

They offer both carbon and fiberglass options but I’m not sure if it’s the way they shipped it or if it’s the post office. Post office is backed up big time from my understanding, if I need something I just overnight it instead of waiting. For example I ordered something from Wisconsin(I’m in michigan) priority 2 day on April 26th and I still don’t have it.

The parts are good quality from my understanding, it’s just shipping issues currently so if you do order anything make sure shipping won’t be an issue.

[EuroCarFan]

I just looked at ebmotor's listing and nothing for the F85. Maybe they no longer carry parts for our call or currently out of stock. Interested to see what fiberglass options they have.

[1badttx5m]

They have different usernames same company. This is the link to what i got. I didn’t want carbon as I wrapped everything black on my car.

https://www.ebay.com/itm/353000724750

But as I said I’m not sure if I would order from them. Once I receive the lip, if I ever do, I will make a post about it.

[EuroCarFan]

Thanks! That's cheap! Great option considering I might paint it black also. If only shipping wasn't so long.

The way I see it is that we ain't got nowhere to go in the immediate future. So order now so it comes in the
summer...US buyers should group buy.

I'd be down for a group guy, maybe from rw Carbon ? 😎

Yeah I just went ahead and bought a pre-painted fiberglass splitter from that site last night. So cheap in comparison to everything else. Will probably still be on the lookout for other options while I wait.

I'll probably be doing the same.. Good find.

[1badttx5m]

Let me know when you get it!

[EuroCarFan]

Just got notification that it's "being shipped". Somehow I doubt that. haha
