Gee...if I were you, I'd buy 2 or 3. The shipping won't be that much more expensive.

Shipping is $55us for each additional.

I went to their site to see if they could do a big order and they are listed on special at $100 without shipping.

I've ordered one through eBay just now, I'll report back with details as I get them.

yep bought one, fitment was great, finish was pretty crap, but i believe even the genuine GV's aren't that smooth and need prep work before painting.

Thanks emx, fitment over finish any day.

How does it stand up to speedbumps etc?

Was a present for a mate so I'm not sure, but it hasnt broken yet so i guess thats a good thing haha.

It does lower the front ALOT tho, so you might need to start taking driveways/speedbumps on an angle haha

I had a genuine one which a friend broke for me then bought one of these and was surprised how good it was for the money compared to the genuine one

Fitment was a bit terrible for mine. Finish wasn't too bad for the price. It has held up well including an off at Wakefield where it kind of bent under the car (hard to explain, but it didn't break). Grear BFYB

Same one I have on mine. No problems with fit or finish, and it hasn't broken yet....

I got mine 2 years ago. It was the polyurethane soft version. It fit perfectly and looks great. Initially, I was very careful about it, but after a while, I just didn't give a toss. It's well worn. But because it's polyurethane, it doesn't crack and split.

Follow up report:

Fitment was good and it has survived me smashing it into things parking (forgot it was there) and an off over a large kerb at the speeddome.
