My only reason for saying it was ricey is that IMO it doesn't add anything to the car, in fact, it may even be worse aerodynamically. When I see the guys with 100 extra lbs of fiberglass, bondo, and paint on their Hondas with a coffee can exhaust tip that adds nothing to the performance and makes it worse too, and the majority of those modifications are on cars that actually are 'ricers', it just a shoe fits kinda thing. I don't think it looks bad at all, and yes I'm talking about the 'Sport GT' cover, but the others, along with the Aero fenders from Aus, try to limit the amount of air that goes under the car, while that cover looks to be a similar if not worse shape for a 'dam' than the stock bug front end, and also has extra drag incorporated into it. So it wasn't a slam at all, I just feel the German Look thing tends to focus on performance enhancing modifications, and that is the name of this site. Fellow's front 'dam' is not that attractive to me either, but I bet it works really well, and his car is IMO definately German Look! I'll be bulding one with a similar theme to that, working on making it a little more attractive at the same time, just to satisfy my personal "Look" needs!
