what parts did you order??... I like some of the stuff they offer and curious to how well it fits... their stuff is expensive but if it really is 100% carbon and fits properly then it might be worth it... it seems like most others nowadays are selling that carbon over fiberglass stuff that doesn't fit very well

Side skirts and front splitter I'm getting beat up on here for the checkered finish but oh well thought I would try something new but it's the real deal as far as the carbon question goes I'm sure




Hopefully will arrive with in a week or two than I gotta start getting stuff installed.

It's just Reflection and the pictures do not do this pattern justice it's not as pronounced in person it's subtle but definitely not for everyone but I am very happy with it and the work it's gonna look exotic for sure

I'm gonna mock it up on my car tonight but won't be anywhere close to what I'm after being I don't have my rims yet which are another week out and my fenders whichI'm waiting on also but hopefully by months end it will be close

glad to see that the company came through for you and I'm interested in the fitment... seeing that they are carbon fiber most of us want to leave that exposed so there isn't much room for error when it comes to how they fit... I'm also hoping that is just a decal or clear protective layer on the top, surely they wouldn't put the name of their company on an exposed part

Default Definitely not for everyone

Had a sun break today so I thought I would atleast mock it up some what I know it's not for everyone! But here is a idea with it anyway for the curious, I need to tie it in with blacking everything out my only worry is I didn't order black rims now I'm second guessing that decision going the brushed look never ends!

more pics!... how well does everything fit up against the bumper and body as far as gaps/inconsistencies/etc?... I think the pattern will end up looking better on the car than it does by itself, and there's nothing wrong polished wheels either... I am not a fan of solid black wheels at all... there needs to be some contrast or separation in my opinion, maybe black with a polished lip would work

I'm curious how far back the splitter goes under the front bumper, pics showing the underside when it's installed would be great... aside from looking good it would be cool if the splitter was functional as well

I'll get those posted when all done and installed from what I can see when I mocked it up, it feeds rite in to the bottom inlet which I was very happy about cause I was concerned about heating issues
