Vorsteiner
Has anyone else had this horrible experience:
for my 2011 x5M got into an accident -- had to had the Vorsteiner Carbon Fiber front lip replaced -- the replacement basically looks like crap after 1 year -- now Vorsteiner is telling me they only offer a warrnty 1 year from the ORDER date -- not even the shipping date -- and I can repurchase the Product for $1200 vs their Normal $1895 See attached Pics -- I'm pissed about now only the look but the horrible experience with suck a company making high end parts any thoughts or advise for me? their email: a joke All Vorsteiner aero products hold a 1-year warranty on finish and lifetime structural warranty. Regrettably it has been a year and 9 months since the product has been received therefore the front spoiler is outside of the 1-year warranty finish. However, we do stand behind our products 100% and truly appreciate you being a loyal Vorsteiner customer. What we would be happy to do is offer you special pricing on a replacement. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and thank you for understanding. Below is the list price and your special price on a replacement front spoiler.

Wow, that's a a lot of money for a cosmetic that is bound to be damaged at some point which is why I never buy front lips that cost like vorsteiner. Maybe its a name thing, but you'd better off saving your money and getting a front lip spoiler off ebay for a 1/3rd maybe a 1/4 of the price and get a good custom body shop who knows how to mold cuz they can make cheap fiberglass look great!

I understand your frustration after what those cost! But it appears it's just the clear coat peeling. My advice would be to take it to a reputable body shop & ask if they can re-clear it for you. With that, you'll probably get a warranty on the clear coat as well. You'll be much better off and spend way less money doing that rather than buying a new lip.

Is it just me or does the fitment look like shit?!?!? No offense to the OP and I don't want to derail the thread, but it's not the first time I've noticed this.
I'd expect more for that kind of coin... |

ok Vorsteiner - came back to me with - they will do a 1 time replacement -- I'm responsible for Shipping the faulty one back to them and again responsible for shipment for them sending me a replacement -- although still probably expensive to ship -- i'm going to take that deal
I'll also add 2 more pics from a distance bc as MIROB stated he doesn't lit the fit -- i do disagree so here's a better picture but everyone is entitled to their own opinion thannks

I'm glad you got it sorted out. Truck looks great! I was just commenting on the space between the bumper and the lip on the last two pictures of the original post. Seems to me like there is some room between them, could be the pictures though. I'm just nitpicking here.
Cheers. |
