How much did Stillen front lip costed you??

I just ordered Stillen Classic lip for 2k. When I called Stillen to place an order they told me that I'm in luck cuz Classic lip for 2k~2k1 is on special price for $175 plus shipping, after I checked my bank account the amount that was deducted out from Stillen was $224.99 and I called Stillen asked I thought it was on special price and they told me it is so I bought the lip for $175 and shipping was $49.99 for UPS ground. I'm not sure if it is just me or something I felt like I paid normal price for that thing. They told me that now a days UPS is costing more to ship out the bigger boxes, I know the box was big but it was only 12LBs. Sorry for the long post guys....I just wanted to let it out...

I heard there was a newbie working at Stillen. Back then, they folded the lip up compactly and therefore they shipped it in a small package.

The newbie there says you CANNOT fold it at all (ironic because it's urethane)

Therefore he ships it in a HUGE box - hence your shipping price. I would call to complain.

I guess yours was $20 off? $50 shipping for just the front lips? =X i was looking at the prices for the side skirts + the rear valence.. total shipping was $76 or so for the 3 pieces

I called Stillen and they told me that UPS is charging more for the big boxes. I was like box might have been big but it only weighs 12lbs and $49.99 for UPS ground shipping?? thats pretty outrageous.
