The question is how this spoiler "kit" stands against the cheaper kit from Van Zweeden?

Duke - by the time you pay the shipping and customs fees for the Van Zweeden wings, its about the same or more expensive than $500.

Duke, with the cost of importation the v-sweeden kit is likely more than 550 plus time to have it shipped etc. Beats me, I have no way of seeing them side by side. BTW - with a relatively weak dollar it makes Euro parts less attractive.

Matt; lets make that extremely weak dollar
On the other hand, v-zweeden will give you discount if you buy more than 1 item Don't know about shipping though, just that Dutch shipping is expensive as f*ck

OK, extremely weak :>) and it is right now.

When you pay the shipping, import taxes, gas to pick the stuff up, etc. I doubt it would be worth any savings and I dont think there would be much in the way of savings anyhow.

A good point was made about importing them from Van-Zweeden. As some may know Lead Foot 944(Damian) recently ordered some RS style spoilers from them. I was involved in the deal and i recieved a 924 front and rear lemans spoilers.

I cannot speak for him, but i believe he is now an official US distributor of their stuff, which means he gets a nice discount and no EURO VAT tax is paid. The price he was able to get for these was very competitive, in the range we are talking of 500. I don't know if he'd be willing to go thru the trouble again of importing them but he now KNOWS FIRST HAND all the in's and out's of importing these efficiently. Great guy too!

I think if people are interested in pursuing this they should see what he thinks.

Hey Damian - Glad to see you post! What do you think of importing these spoilers again? Which would be more cost effective to you think?

It would be more cost effective if everyone ordered their own, if you are talking about the adjustable versions...that is..This makes a difference because of packing size...

Update is that it will be early summer before they have a production run. Sorry, appears to be the best we can do.
