Hey everyone, I'm looking to get a front bumper spoiler like this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/VW-P...m170313758883QQitemZ170313758883QQptZMotorsQ5fCarQ5fTruckQ5fPartsQ5fAccessories

Problem with this one is it's in Poland, and the seller does not have 100% rating, which means he screwed somebody at some point or another. He's also only a member of Ebay since December 2008 so I don't know if I should buy from them.

I've looked around but could not find anything similar in the U.S. or with a power seller or something. Can anyone help me out please?

I thought that's the one you had. I just wasn't sure. Can you tell me if it comes out a lot lower than the stock one? My garage is on a slant and I can already barely make it in without scratching.

Yeap, it's the same one. It is a lot lower than the stock one and you will most likely rub it up against your driveway. The trick is to exit and enter the driveway sideways instead of forward. That's what I do and I don't rub but if I did enter and exit my driveway forward, I would rub.

I'm probably going to get it anyway. I'll search around some more but if I can't find it anywhere else, I'm gonna have to take a chance on this one.

Here's the car at its best:

And after this accident I had a couple of weeks ago:

I just figured if I'm going to pay all this $ in body work I might as well do something interesting with it. I'm going to paint the lowers as well and I'm thinking about a rear window spoiler.

Thanks for the link. I've checked there before, unfortunately the costs on the ones I like are prohibitive for me at this point (Have to take into account labor). I might pick up one of those rear window spoilers, as they look good and are pretty affordable.

Also, the FK Headlight was salvageable. I'm in the process of taking the internals out and putting it in the old housing as that's the only thing that broke. With some perseverence, I think I'll have the car looking better than before in a couple of months.
