It will all come together once you start putting it together.
Anyway, I want to hear your responce when you feel the diffrence in the car. It may not be a larger diet but I could feel the diffrence in handling from the front bumper being replaced with the S2 bumper. Cant wait to get the rear put on.

I thought very very fair for FedEx expedited service. I had the package one week after...
it shipped. There was a 2 day hold-up in US Customs that was unavoidable and Alex played a HUGE role in smoothing that out and getting it on its way the same day he heard about it. If it werent for that I would've had it in 3-4 days. It's declared value didnt help as the clearing agent told me any time something is valued at over $2k there are more serious checks and balances in place. Doesnt help with all this new "HomeLand Security" in place now as they also played a role as they're all tied in with US Customs and Border Patrol. Hey there could been one skinny Al Quieda terrosists in there ;-)
I paid $20 duty on it today but I think they short-changed themselves as my calculator shows I still owe about $80 more but they'll likely be back or send a letter when their books dont wash. But thats in spite of shipping rather than "because" of shipping. "death and taxes..."
Still $340 was the shipping charge and I still have a few Porsche parts that didnt arrive in time to find their way in this box and will likely be here next week. And because of that my low profile euro wiper set will also come over at no additional shipping charges. I've spent more than that sending a high end cad computer back for warranty work to Connecticut so shipping is a huge bargain.
