Default from what I've seen both are from Zender pattern ,photos and colors are misleading

because dependent on the angle and body color the contours on each sides lip extension don't always come through in some pictures. I think Votex bought the old molds and are making them in the urethane plastic and this just started within the past 2-3 yrs . Its evident that Zender made fiberglas and plastic ones before selling the molds, as I'd seen both from Zender before Votex had them.

Default uh that is impossible. The Votex lip was made and sold at dealers as an OEM upgraded part

zender likely made a US spec copy of it as the real votex lips were made for the shorter euro bumpers...

Here is a pic of the OEM Euro Votex Lip. I was searching for an OEM euro bumper and votex lip but they are ****ing needles in haystacks.

Default Wonder if Votex were just sourcing them to Audi ? My Zender was made in Spain and was old stock ..

when purchased from LLTek 4 yrs ago . They said they hadn't catalog sold the glas ones in yrs. I got it dirt cheap . I saw it in some old Zender ads as old as 1998 1999 that I found in some web searches that are now gone. Saw euro models of those also. Some one else on here used to have a green car with the same one. The lips aren't as sharp as the euro lip but I have gained 1/2 to 1 1/2 mpg on interstate with it , so its functional . My 30v w/Tip got 29.2 mpg avg at 70-75 mph between Akron and Rocky Mount in March . I'm happy with it except I hit an ice chunk and thus have a small crack I need to repair and repaint.

Default interesting note about the MPG. I will have to pay attention to that

Votex has been an OEM supplier for sometime now. The lip you can buy for the MK5 GTI and rabbit is votex, they sold an OEM B6 A4 kit (I think they might have even made the USP kits). They have had ties forever. google votex and you will see what i mean. its crazy.
