Default Strosek Front Lip & Rear Spoiler

Does anyone know a good distributor that I could order the Strosek Front Lip and Rear Spoiler from? Bumper Plugs, Eric, has the rear spoiler, but not the front lip. I'm having difficulty finding a U.S. distributor.

Further, anyone have experience with these items? Do they fit good? How is the quaility?

I attached images I borrowed from various sources for examples.

Thanks for the help. I'll be sure to post pics when I get everything painted and installed.

if you can't find the fron lip, you can go for the factory aerokit lip.

Yep, the OEM front lip is my back up plan.

I went through this same dilema. I got the rear wing from Eric at bumperplugs but could not find the front lip. I think Fred Opert is a strosek distributor. Opert racing.com or something. I would also look on cargraphics website because they have 2 front lip options. One is poly u and the other is fglas. The fglass one is what I have ordered and to me it is the exact lip as the strosek one. Hershel at Cargraphic has me one coming and can probably get you one. Should be around 700-750 or so. I myself am not a fan of the factory aerokit lip. It looks ok but to me this one looks better. I does not have as much of a "shovel" look. No offense anyone just my opinion. Good luck. pm me if you want further details.

Wait an minute, I think I've seen, what looks like, the Strosek front lip in FVD's website. PM Evan (AMG ETR) for confirmation.

FYI, I managed to get a quality response back from Stuttgart in the UK and from Strosek directly! I ordered from Strosek because they were quicker on the draw. You can contact Mark King at sales@stuttgart.co.uk or Strosek Co. at info@strosek.de

Also, from Strosek...

"Yes, the Strosek 996 Turbo has been wind-tunnel tested. We have a lot of data…but you will get through this rear wing about 40 kg more down-force at high speed as with the standard wing. The front spoiler will give you 18 kg more down-force at the front axle."

I'll post pictures when it's finished.
