Wow these look great. But are there pictures of each final production piece installed on an E86 (i.e. not prototypes, but actual photoshoot-grade pix)? I'm curious to see what they look like. Couldn't find any installed pictures on your website.

$1400 for the front lip? At $600~$800 I'd probably buy it. At $1400? LOL.

Well first off I think the front lip looks really really nice. It would be nice to see some high quality pics of it installed on a Z4M. The price though is a bit on the high side.... I just don't know if I can justify spending that much on a lip that can very easily be destroyed if I have an off track excurison. At $400 I could for sure and would buy it today. At $600-800 I still would most likely buy it but $1400 is a tough pill to swollow when I see that a whole Vorsteiner front bumper goes for $1350 I will reserve final judgement till I see this installed on hopefully a light colored car

The finished product on the front lip looks very good.

It would be really nice to see these mounted on the M.

Very tempting.

+1 for hi-res installed pics
I know quality CF isn't cheap but price is definitely a tough pill to swallow.

...more info on construction would be appreciated.
What CF method is used (vac bagged?)& is it wrapped on a glass buck or structural CF?

Finish looks tempting. Post some mounted pics please?
If I already have the oem cf spoiler on then how do we remove it whilst not damaging anything? Possible?

Price point fail.

Yes... I know how $$ good quality CF products can be. But you're not going to be shifting much product unless you've got a loaded buyer (or an early adopter).

Excellent looking kit though.

hehe, everyone that's posted in here's pretty much the most avid forum members
Anyhow, I agree with everyone about the ridiculously high prices. But regardless, I'd still like to see some quality installed shots on our cars

I agree about the high prices. Do Luck, who makes very highly sought after parts for the Japanese Import scene, sells dry carbon hoods and trunks of the highest quality for $1200 and less. As good as these pieces look, I can't see the reasoning behind the price tag. I know there are huge costs of labor, time, and materials in developing parts and putting them into production, but seriously, $1400 for a lip?

Yeah some high quality pictures on a car.. especially a light colored car would go a long way.

Nice meeting you at the CSCS Final in Cayuga Vinnie!

I think there is a misprint on the website. $1369? I think it was meant to say $369 a piece. $369 is fair IMO.

I would get a full CF bumper for the $1369 price though.

these look great, but the price is really pushing it...I for one also want to know the process they used in making these CF parts. 1400 is a huge investment for a lip...that would be destroyed in one off track excursion....
