They will send it to you shipped for about $240. The only thing that worries me about that splitter is that it's made of fiberglass, and so will probably chip like crazy over time.
Boxtaboy, after looking at the website it looks as if the splitter, side skirts etc. are Gemballa rip offs. Another stateside ( CA ) vendor has the same thing in glass/carbon mixture but wants a lot more money for the splitter alone and is very expensive to ship. Ends up around $800 I believe before you have to fit and paint. Don't know if their composition would resist chipping any better than straight fiberglass. Vulnerable spot underneath the front but does give the car a more late model look.

Yep, the UK seller def has a better price point. If you don't do much highway miles, it probably won't matter much, but if you do, will prob need to touch up chips often. If they don't require new holes to be drilled upon installation, that would be best, since it would be reversible, but somehow I doubt it.
