Finally plunged on RKP spoiler

[ciaranob]

Was forever on and off with getting this mod but finally bit the bullet with a great Black Friday discount from IND. Always a bit of a risk of mis-installing these things but thankfully seemed to nail it first time

Overall looks real good despite the somewhat 'sudden' or abrupt terminations. One of those things that definitely looks way better in 'person' than my pics can show.

Last piece of CF thats going on this car!!

Completes the F83 rear. Looks great!!

[carbon//m3]

Looks great! I have the same one!

Looks good. What diffuser is that?

[ciaranob]

3D Design - full aero all around - can't say enough positive things about 3D kit, just superb.

Have to say that the RKP spoiler is in the same league - excellent quality and finish - in stark contrast to a knock-off piece I had an opportunity to test fit which turned out to be warped and a lousy fit. Very happy with this. One tip on the RKP piece has not attached absolutely perfectly i.e. a tiniest of gaps over a couple of mm's (fairly sure no one but me would see! ), that is a result of a spot of weak 3M bonding and def nothing to do with fitment or placement - again this is my OCD side and 99% of folk would see nothing - I'll retrofit a thin piece of 3M later.

Looks great, just don't like that little fin you have on the trunk, I've never seen anyone put it there. Looks a bit off (no pun intended)

Straight up feedback here.....the diffuser looks great from the back but not sure what they were thinking on the side. This need to be flush with the bumper and extending downward rather than horizontally creating that extended lip. Don't like that. Just my thoughts.

That's for all the convertibles. The roof won't be able to fold with the antenna sticking up two inches there if it's in the same position as the coupes.


And for the above pic, I actually like the lip coming out on the side! Goes well with side skirt and front lips.


Post some full profile shots from a further distance when you have time to show off the spoiler from a further perspective.

Blindside is of course correct - this is OEM placement of the fin on Verts - lack of std. configuration knowledge here

Personally I MUCH prefer the smaller and discreet fin on the trunk than the imo entirely outdated monster fin on the roofs of the sedan/coupe - just my 2c !

Blindside also nailed it w.r.t. the 3D design (as for many other full aero kits) this is designed to line up perfectly with the associated step out on the side skirts and the front lip - I have a ton of pics in various threads but re-loaded a few here to help with visualization.

I have the convertible as well but it doesn't have that antenna? I guess this is an additional accessory if so, then I totally understand why it's on the trunk rather than the roof.

Looks good, congrats!

Nice and tastefully modded!

[ciaranob]

Thx all - appreciated. Was doodling an image that lists the ridiculous amount of cosmetic touches I have on this vehicle - might be useful to share - quickly realize your disease once you actually take the first step and write it all down !!

Not usually one for custom LPs but this one was free a few months (first clue to said sickness!) before I plunged on setting up my ED purchase in 2014 and couldn't resist

Ah, my bad, apologies as I assumed that this was a std configuration worldwide - curious how they handled the phone setup in your car (it is primarily designed to boost the reception quality of a cell phone once physically attached to the plate in the car and I guess to be used with the built in emergency service). Perhaps your antenna is the taped on kind on the rear window or something similar?
