    Ripoff or Not?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I am thinking about getting the USP front bumber and S4 doorflares and I came across this site http://www.shop.dthaus.com/category....?categoryId=12 It says $965 dollars for the USP front bumper and $389 for the S4 doorlfares. I was wondering if that was right on the money or a ripoff. Thanks.

    Re: Ripoff or Not?

    Well its not really a rip off for the "entire" full front bumper but i would just do the conversion of adding the lower USP on to your stock front bumper and its 1/3 of the price. The S4 Door blades are definitely a good deal, you wont find anywhere cheaper for new ones. I did get my Door blades for $300 shipped from a member on here.

    Re: Ripoff or Not?

    The front bumper assembly as posted is $965 plus shipping if you putchase all available options.

    If you upper bumper is in perfect shape, you could easily get by with just the lower spoiler, center grill and foglight grills, this does happen to be the most popular option.

    I have posted up the full retail prices from the dealer several times, but here they are again.

    USP Upper Bumper $682.81
    USP Lower Spoiler $258.67
    USP Left Foglight Grill $47.87
    USP Right Foglight Grill $47.87
    USP Center Grill $210.16

    Full retail on the set of four doorblades is $543.58

    I called the phone number earlier today and asked about getting it painted among other things. I wasn't sure if I needed the upper bumper for fitment or not. If I don't then I will talk with my dad and call back when I go through with it.

    Pure MS sells them for a little less...

    $380 I think. After shipping I think it may be a wash.

    Do you also want service and the parts to arrive in top-notch condition? Then talk to Greg.
