Prices seem very reasonable. Will see if there's any reviews. If all, good then I'll most likely pull the trigger on it

Acrylonitrile Butadiene (ABS) plastic is a common thermoplastic used to make rigid, light, molded products. The most important properties of ABS are the toughness of the material and the resistance to wear. It combines the rigidity and strength of the Acrylonitrile and Styrene Polymers along with the toughness of the Polybutadiene Rubber.

It has similar properties to polyurethane, and PURIM as well.

Also, I would recommend contacting Cult-Werk for pricing. For whatever reason, they seem to under sell Rieger even though it's Rieger's product.

Wow thanks Danger. Or shall I call you Dr Danger from now on? So knowledgeable and resourceful.

Was excited even more when the rear spoiler is like the gemballa one but excitement was short lived cause Reiner has discontinued that
Looks like ill have to source that from gemballa themselves.

If you're referring to Gemballa's front bumper, keep in mind that all they did was modify an oem bumper by removing the surround from the center channel, along with replacing the vents in the side intakes with mesh, and molded a set of subtle FRP splitters on the underside of the corners.

Thanks danger no wonder the front bumper looked a bit different but that aside, i was actually referring to the gemballa rear replacement pop up spoiler

Here's a YouTube vid I found for the reiger kit:

Rieger Tuning Porsche - YouTube

I'm sold. Now just a matter of emailing them for shipping quotes. Fingers crossed this is the right decision.

Man this is starting to get on my nerves, just when I thought I found a company that sells quality products at a real good price, and is also offering a discount if you purchase an entire bodykit from them was a done deal,they turn around and redirect me to one of their Australian dealers to get raped with the price with most probably a 50-150% mark-up Hate it when they do that. I guess I'll have to get a quote from them and from the U.S dealers to see where the value is
This crap just gives the Australian dealers more of a reason to mark up their prices as much as they like. Yet Australian businesses whinge and complain about why people are buying overseas and not locally. Geez it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure that one out

Anyways, RANT over.........just hoping however much I pay for the body kit, it turns out as being worth the hassle *sigh*
