Obviously he was mistaken at the time and is trying to make up for it now I suppose. It is still 20 % off list, but definitely not the price I was told.
Smaller businesses do this all the time. They get to making something at a discount and possibly realize that there is no margin at all on certain things, and then simply restate previously mentioned prices, since there really is no proof. It doesn't matter, 280 or 340. Thats 60 dollars, and in San Diego, that close to 1.5 gas tank fillups for my wife's Acura.

I just always compare smaller prices to gas. It makes it all better. A "pricey" 45 dollar meal at, what, some Italian place, compares to just one tank of gas.

No, not from SoCal, so she's still on Target and hasn't found nordstoms yet.

Thanks for having a good attitude about it.

Looking forward to seeing pics posted regarding the parts.

Anyone who hasn't put in their order that want's the discount, better get to it!

My AIR front spoiler arrived today.

I was actually expecting a lot less, just a front air dam, but the molded piece actually goes back under the car like the stocker and has a recessed area to bolt up to the stock belly pans.

The box was massive, my secretary thought I'd ordered a casket:



[The box fee was $120.] Edit-The box fee was $20, shipping was $120. Sorry for the mistatement. Not exactly a bargain, but at least it got here in one piece:



The bubble wrap was taped snug, this pic is after I cut the strapping tape.



A look from the inside:




And, at last, the business side:





I think this front valance w/Louie's fenders on the back will make for one serious looking 928.

So it hooks into where the normal S4 pan goes.

I can't say for sure Brendan. I haven't had my pans on for ages. I thought the uprights on the forward pan had a horizontal tab on the tips?

Oh, well maybe, but there are just a few holes where those verticle tabs are going to be.
