Im from Australia so Gary's kit is out of the question due to shipping charges and what not. i ordered mine on ebay from an Australian seller. its made of plastic which i was told was better for fitment. fits alright, not perfect but alright.

When I asked some of the eBay sellers for some close up pictures, they gave me pictures identical to what Suvneer sent me. They also seem to like using pictures posted here on the forums as examples of their product even though the members here claim to have bought it from Suvneer. The eBay guys also seem to speak in broken English even though some were located in the US. Seemed a little too fishy to me so I just went with Suvneer for the reputation but for a few bucks more.

are ebay prices+shipping cheaper than suvneer's?
as long as you get the polyurethane plastic over fiberglass, you'll be ok. I was told it fits easier and better. i just finished the conversion and believe me that you'll appreciate saving a lil here and there.

yea ebay is poly and would come out to about $90 less than suvneer, but i just did the math and in conjunction with buying a lip as well i would only save about $50 in the end. so most likely i will just go with suvneer, i have bought from him in the past and have been happy with his service.
when you bought the inner mounts were you able to find the sides any cheaper than $40?

yea, from what i have been looking at i'm going to be just over that. $40 per side and then the center brace i believe was cheaper than the sides, and the latch of course.
you wouldn't happen to have any pictures you could post of yours would you lemonsqueezy?

I don't take very good pictures but I do have some before and after pictures, most of which are front shots. I don't really have any pictures of the process though.

man i love the fog lights but the LED's are so sharp, how much work were the LED's to instal? and did you need new side grills for it?
thanks man i can't wait! i just started order all the air stuff for it, so there will be a 211 rebuild coming shortly.

Gary's stuff is awesome. As I recall he sells the grill for $150 or $160 to us here. I ordered one on ebay under another name and paid $85 shipped. It came from Gary, as in he shipped it. I can look up the Ebay name, so maybe the kit on Ebay is from him as well. His items fit perfectly with no issues.

the going rate on ebay for a e63 front with fogs is $450 shipped but lemon has me thinking about these DRLs now, and you can order the bumper with no fog lights for $400 shipped. i believe suvneer is asking $540 shipped for his bumpers.

so i've seen there is a few replicas out there that look pretty good, but then again i'm not super certain i am going this route more worried about the e63 front and bags at this point.

the wald drl is really clean and nice but it would cost you around US$500. as per Lemon's advice, we tried to retrofit drl on my conversion and it doesnt look too bad at all. total cost. AU$75. it very easy and totally worth it!
