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.

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*

Rieger direct. They've answered my email and said will talk to the Australian dealer to see if they can work out some sort of price but I won't be surprised if they just turn around and say the cost is shipping, taxes etc etc etc. Funny how they never mention that its the desired profit margin they enjoy and enforcement on us poor suckers. Hence I've emailed lltek.com and they will get back to me about shipping costs. I'll email cult werk tonight too. Will keep you posted on the outcome and my progress. I'm sure my documented experiences will help the greater boxster and porsche community in their future endeavours
