I highly doubt I could replicate their quality.....although the thought had crossed my mind!
I can buy the bumpers (no price yet on the skirts) for about $800+shipping. Shipping will be close to $600 for both. Just to get to me. I also have to pick these up in ATL since B'ham is too small.
Sadly the shipping is the only thing making this kit expensive and I don't have the skills to knock-off a kit like this. I'm really hoping Postert will give me better prices if I were able to arrange a bulk order of say 3-5 items/kits at once. This will allow them to custom crate the pieces and ship everything a much cheaper way. This is the route I'd prefer to go.

Damn, 625 was sounding high, but maybe doable. 800+600 shipping is out of the question.
Keep us posted, because if the prices go down a little bit, I'm definately interested in that bumper!

i believe these 7 layer fiberglass. I'm not 100% sure but I will find out. I have a cd with the entire inventory and pricing heading my way from Essen Germany. Once I get that I'll have more details for you.

I found out that it is not a complete hood. It is a custom hood scoop. you will modify your stock hood (i.e. cut out an opening) and have this scoop molded in. It's actually not that pricey about $220 for the hood.
All prices I quote are WITHOUT SHIPPING....shipping and total cost has to be determined at time of purchase since final cost depends on current exchange rates and how many pieces are being ordered at once.
the 01-03 front bumper is $650+shipping based on current exchange rates.
ok, now pick your jaws up off the floor!

so you can not give us a general idea what the shipping charges will be? If it is like $600.00 forget it, but I am guessing it will be around $200.00 per induvidual pc.??? Cause I am serious that hood and front spoiler/clip is to tempting to ignore...

I am currently working a deal with Postert that I would warehouse multiple kits of each style with several types/sizes of rims here in the states. We'd basically take a one time loss on shipping to be able to cut shipping costs to buyers here in the states.
This is very difficult for me to do right now as I have sold NO items from them and have not really earned any favors. I would need a corporate contract and a very large loan as collateral but assuming no'one robs my warehouse and I don't dissappear in the middle of the night all will be fine.
I will say this though....AL/GA buyers will pay $0.00 for shipping once the products get to me. Basically the initial shippin cost is just to get the product here to me. Then I have to re-ship it. in AL/GA I'll hand deliver (within reason) for free.
p.s. I got a price quote from Postert for purchasing the entire P5 body kit, front, sides and rear and without subtracting German VAT it was only $950+shipping. You can see that if I'm able to cut down/out the international shipping that prices will be HIGHLY competitive on these unique pieces.
p.p.s. the hot-*** mazda3 kit was even cheaper!
