    yeah, it was pretty tough actually. I bottomed out on it so many times there wasn't any paint left underneath.. but it needed SO much work to get it to look right, lots of sanding and filling, more sanding and filling.. then I got a little careless on day, bottomed out pretty hard and ran it over. it could have been fixed, but it definitely wasn't worth repairing when a new one was fairly cheap and doesn't need much prep work.

    Exactly .

    All you need is a heatgun and a router or jigsaw .

    I just made one for my Zender on my 85. But it was flat with no bends. I'm sure i could make one for this one if i tried. Can't be that hard to heat up and put the bend's in it.

    Splitter is different .

    Its not really that hard to make though once you have the right material .

    So what about the splitter for one? Is it the same as a "is"? I looked through the GB's and didn't see the anwser for it when it was brought up if they was the same.

    He does not have the Riegers listed right now .
    I would just email him and tell him what you need .
    For those that don't know , Felip also offers the M-tech-II replica rear valnce , just the valance itself so you can add it under your current late or early bumper .
    Also offers replicas of the M-tech-II side skirt/rocker covers for use by themselves , no need for the body cladding .
    This is what Qimis is running on his car .

    definitely worth shooting an e-mail to .
    He's a nice guy with a great product at a really good price .

    I have both of these - great product, very flexible, light, and fits perfectly. the rear valance just snaps on.. all you have to do is block it flat, seal it, and paint.

    the real rieger lips are extremely fragile - i wouldn't be surprised if the eurostyle version was stronger (in addition to being cheaper).

    expect a 4-5 week wait to get your stuff once you've paid.

    here's what mine look like:

    The Rieger is not a nice soft pliable ABS like the OE lips .
    Its really brittle shatter/splinter prone hard plastic .

    About the eBay replicas , I would stay away from all the ones being offered for sale out in Socal like from decalsking and eurostop or whoever .
    Those are pretty much crap .

    Buy the ones from Felip in Canada , his eBay username is Eurostyle ....I'll get it and post his store on here for others .

    His fiberglass is a composite that is really flexible , you can twist and turn it in ways the real Rieger and lesser FG pieces could only dream of .
    Sure it will crack if taking a direct hit , it does have its giving point but it surely a lot more forgiving than the others .

    I have to defend the shitty replicas.... having one myself, it lasted a LOT of abuse before cracking (again). I originally got mine in 3 pieces and patched it up myself... and it holds great.

    haha, well alright then. I've just never seen shattered ABS before, in the way that fiberglass does.
