4Motion Valences: NC A4 owners attention!

[BoraTdi]

I have been looking at posts on Vortex regarding 4Motion front valences for the A4 Golfs and Jettas. My front valence is about shot, and replacement is about $130. The Euro-spec parts for front and rear are direct bolt-ons for the A4 Jettas (Golfs require a slight mod to the front to fit) and vwparts.com has them on order for only $75 apiece. Here is the clincher: shipping is $40 bucks whether you order one piece or several sets. Apparently the box they ship in is one size fits all and the shipping cost is the shipping cost. I am wondering if any NC A4 owners (particularly those in the RDU area) might be interested in a group buy of sorts. It's a good looking, cheap mod, and we could all save on the shipping by splitting up the deal. If you wantto see pics, go to www.vwvortex.com and do a search for "4Motion Valences." They look good - the fronts have 3 air vents where the US-spec is solid and flat. The rears point outward at the bottom, reminiscent of the Oettinger rear valence. Post or email me if interested. From what I understand, due to demand the price may be going up to $100 apiece after the first shipment arrives, so if we could place a committed order by Thursday 2-15 it would be best.
