@VorsteinerNA
Any chance your car has been around any circuits to see how your mods hold up?

Not as of yet as the parts are recently released and we plan to track test the vehicle at Thermal very soon with GMG to see how it affects lap times compared to stock.

I'm more concerned about how it holds up and the reception it gets at Cars and Coffee than at the track

I like the look of the rear diffuser, but it seems a little backwards to me to create components described as part of an 'aero package' or 'aero program' that have been created for cosmetic purposes and are yet to be tested for either positive or negative aero impacts, or durability.

It's one thing if it's going on a Mk4 Golf that's going to sit in the local McDonalds parking lot for most of its life, but another if it's going to be bolted to a car that could potentially be tracked and already has a thoughtfully designed aero package that's balanced front-to-rear.

Looks cool, but just comes across a little cart-before-the-horse...

We do have an internal procedure set in place to verify the product is in fact an original Vorsteiner product we make as we have had cases in the past where warranty claims were made on replica or counterfeit products that we do not produce.

If any members here have any questions please feel free to contact us at info@vorsteiner.com and we would be more than happy to assist or answer any questions.
Saw that, and BTW, I wasn't knocking your products. I have no first hand knowledge of them at all. I was merely directing forum members to the thread so they could make their own decision. I strongly considered your aero kit for my 991, but in the end didn't want to spend that much $.

I love my vorsteiner 1m front lip. It's taken a lot of abuse and kept in great shape.

The side skirts and front spoiler will both be available in satin black composite fiberglass for those that do not want optical carbon fiber.

The official photos and prices will be going up next week to our website as well as the release of our extended wing uprights.

Feel free to contact us at info@vorsteiner.com and we would love to hear what had went wrong and would love to ensure your feedback is documented and heard.

Appreciate your feedback thank you!
How about you compensate him instead of just listening to his issues since you say your parts should fit perfectly.

I almost got your wing for the turbo s but so many people complained about the lousy fit.

Yes we always take care of our customers if there is ever any issues with production.

There are always potential issues with manufacturing composite parts that are 100% hand made but we do our very best to stand behind our products and our customers or we would not be in business for 11 years.

If you have a particular issue with us are more than welcome to contact us privately via messenger and we would be more than happy to discuss this with you directly.

But of course it would be almost impossible to make it actually work. But since it's cosmetic, why not make the grilles real, instead of solid?
Are your grills cosmetic in that the holes are just depressions? Mine has actual holes, but right behind it are heat shields.
