I've been really happy with it, I'd love a genuine RSI kit but until I win the lotto I'll just stick with this
Check out http://www.vizages.com/products_view.php?pid=20. Check out the qwirky spoiler!

Also have a look at HarryO's thread. http://forums.newbeetle.org/showthre...&pagenumber=12 He got a few pictures during his install. I haven't seen anyone else on here with the kit.

The centre of the bar sticks out to where the existing bumber does where the number plate is mounted above the grill. The side of the bar sticks out heaps, maybe 5" (I'm going off memory) which is a pain getting into driveways but no more so than lowered cars. The kit lowers the car body by approx 2". I've scraped out a couple of times on the corners but the body flex seems to give a bit so I haven't damaged it (until the accident ).

The side skirts install over the top of the original ones and the back was really simple. The only problem I find is cause its flexible the kit moves when I drive so the paint that covers the join between the kit and the car peels. Its only minimal so I just carry touch up paint with me when I go to shows.

Plus, you can run over it and it survives to be re-installed again! I will hunt around for better photos of the kit on my bug for you when I get home from work.
