Cracked my VRS front lip last nite...

pdjafari · 04-30-2009, 10:23 AM

So as I was parking the car, I didn't realize the spots had those stupid cement blocks in front and all I heard was CRACK.... F ME...

Get out and of course, right down the center of the lip/carbon was all cracked....

So my question is, just try to get it repaired and prob. spend like $400-500 or get a new one painted/shipped for $900....

Only had the effer for like 5 months...OR just leave it the way it is...

That sucks dude. Try to get it repaired, it will save you some money.

that's why I don't like carbon fiber front splitters and lower body parts. they are very brittle and will break/crack much easier than urethane or plastic.

If you have access to a body shop that works with fiberglass, they should be able to repair it for you for less than you think.

I think CF parts are very expensive to repair or I might be wrong..
If it's less than $150 difference, I'd just get a new one.

Not worth it to get a new one for $900. Get a Mtech front for that price.

Not sarcastic at all. LACSTER got his from Shelly BMW for about 3 or 400,no joke, I saw teh invoice. +300 or so in paint = 700-800! WIN!

Be glad no one will have to pay 1800 bones, like I did. AND i got it from Teh Long.
