          that looks terrible. you can see your rear valence in the exhaust cutout.

            If it bothered you that much just cut off the rear valance or just cut around the exhaust. Problem solved. It is not really that bad as you can tell the apron (the muffler tips are not centered) is not sitting flush as there is no cut out for the tow hook, the right side is hitting the hook.

              I bought one of these from Eurostyle only for the early model e30.

              I was not impressed with the transaction from start to finish. He was incredibly difficult to to get in contact with and it took over a month for me to recieve my valence after I paid for it. As well when it arrived I was not impressed with the quality of the peice at all. There are a number of large bubbles in the piece and one of the corners is fairly rough. I emailed Filip about my concerns with the valence more than a week ago and he has still not replied.

              Just thought you might like to know if you are considering his product.

                    I got one from him. Havent done more than mock fit it but it seems like a very nice product. It is very smooth and in great condition. It did take a while after payment to get, becasue they are built to order. If you are aware of that ahead of time, the wait is not so bad.

                      are you going to have to trim your valence and tow hook too? that really not a big deal for me. im not too concerned about the wait. also what did you pay shipped if you don't mind me asking.

                        I was actually quite surprised with the quality of mine as well. I had heard nothing but good things about his stuff.

                        I have pictures of my valence if anyone is interested although the bubbles are kind of difficult to see in the pictures they are VERY evident in person.

                          He never replies to his emails. When i got my Rieger lip off of him i had to call. And it did take over a month to get my lip. I also knew this from other people saying that it did take 4-5 weeks to get what they paid for. Also he told me that it would take that long when i talked to him on the phone.

                          But this is a first i ever heard about any quality issues with his products.

                            The quality of mine was excellent, it was 2 years ago though. You are right everything is made to order and as with me if there is a long pipeline it can take a while. As long as you knew that going into it or what do expect from the start. That is why I always take half down, it gives the customer more of a secure feeling. Filip is a very hard guy to get a hold of though.

                              How bad is it? If you are going to slam Eurostyle's product, you should post pics of what you are bitching about. I received an apron this January and it was fine.

                              This product won't come perfect as a baby's bottom, you do have to block it prior to shooting it with primer/paint.
