    Mine lasted about 7 months until I cracked it. THen I fixed it, and up until about a month ago it was on my car. LOL Course, within the last year, it was held together with blue painters tape painted black....ahahaa

    So eurostyle the way to go, eh? Excellent.

        I've had mine for 2 years and killed many cones with it. I don't get how you guys break these things, my last one had no paint left on the bottom and it lasted 2 years as well.

          I don't know what you guys do to these things, but I beat the shit out of mine and it's held up fine.
          UPDATE

          My real Rieger lip got ripped off again 2 days ago. I pulled out of my driveway, and hit some frozen snow/ice. I heard some awful sounds, but kept going. I didn't see anything in my rear view, so figured everything was fine. A friend drove past my house later that morning and found the lip laying in the middle of the road and picked it up for me. Not a single crack or anything. It just pulled it off of the clips. I don't know how I didn't run it over with a tire (or how nobody else ran it over, for that mater).

          Anyway, that's at least 3 times it's been ripped off now, and it's still in one solid piece. I've bottomed out so many times, it's wearing thin on the bottom.

          I don't know what you guys do to break these things within weeks of installing them...

              I got mine from EuroStyle also. Filip takes forever to answer emails and/or phone calls. Hes pretty bad at customer service IMO.

              But the lip is worth the wait. I totaled my turbo E30, fucked up everything on the bottom, rims, skirts, exhaust etc....My Reiger lip was scratched to shit on the bottom, but ZERO cracks. It broke a few mounting holes but thats about it. Pretty crazy product for being fiberglass.

                When I thought my real lip was trashed, I called him. Got a voicemail, which said the voicemail box was full. So I sent him an email. He still hasn't responded.

                I would never send that guy my money. Not sure how he gets praised here... Anyone else with that type of communication gets hammered on. Well, I guess as long as he communicates good AFTER you send the money, that's all that matters. But I somehow doubt that.
