Anyone developing a gloss black body kit?

He bought one based on photos of the glossy carbon splitter.

I feel like my ears are burning… is this my order?

This was in reference to another one that went to CA.
We are counting on you for more photos! haha.

Well we were supposed to have some pictures but our guy hasnt followed through with them yet.
Another splitter is on its way to another customer currently and Im sure he will share pictures as soon as he gets it installed --- probably this weekend or next week.
I have a photo shoot scheduled for this Saturday for our shop car. I will share those pictures asap!

I noticed the black gel options were the same price of the carbon fiber ones?

Im confused, is this just a covering over normal carbon fiber or is this a price error? i would expect non-carbon fiber options to be much cheaper

The overall construction process is the same between them and carbon fiber cloth is used as a base layer for the part so they are the same price. The forged carbon requires some extra time so the price is a little higher on those.

Do you have any good pictures of the glossy black front lip ?

is this from the guys at GRP?

sadly its the same price as the carbon fiber options. I was really hoping for some options that were a fraction of the cost

Yes GRP. It’s still carbon, just painted if I understand correctly
I prefer the understated look rather than a few carbon bits here and there

The black gloss look like a perfect match !!!

Can you upload another picture of the car onto the ground. I think I am hesitating because it may goes forward a bit too far than what I would like.

Does it look too agressive without having to install side skirt to goes with it ?

Looks very nice, and I agree that it matches better with the rest of the glossy black trim parts than any version of exposed CF.
A couple of questions:
By how much does it reduce ground clearance ? and
How much farther out does it extend ?
Just curious if it'll still clear standard concrete parking blocks and if the parking sensors will compensate for the added outward lip extension. Thanks

If it's anything like the Aerie one it reduces the height by about .75" but the bigger change is the reduction in approach angle by extending another two inches.

I actually think it suits the car just fine, it’s not over the top. I think it complements the oem side skirts.

Colour wise it’s a perfect match

That’s a good question about the parking sensors. I’ve thought about it too. I’ll have to test it out. My guess is it has no idea

I’m sorry I haven’t had a chance to measure. I think it sticks out about 2 inches.

It’s not particularly thick perhaps 5/8 of an inch
