Mine also arrived today. Impressive 2 day shipping from Hong Kong to Florida. Quality seems good so I'm satisfied. It was mentioned before elsehwere on the forum, but the cutouts where you check the oil dipstick are fixed and not removable like they are on the OEM plastic version. Not really a concern for me, but others might find it slightly inconvenient.
Cost permitting, I may eventually replace every gloss black trim piece on my car with matte carbon. I'm a big proponent of subtle but classy "OEM plus" style modifications. I also just despise piano black anywhere on sports cars ha.

Just got mine too, very happy with it.
Agree product is good and customer service also great.
I am definitely going to order the front splitter, and probably all the pieces Aerie offers.
I am laughing at myself car Cost X PPF $4,500K engine cove $900.00 then plus plus.
by the time i am done easy another $15K.
there is no excuse for not knowing when to stop spending on extras
Could you elaborate more, like which part is fixed vs factory.
Thanks

I don't mind this at all. That entire top section comes out in a few seconds with no tools and it being all one piece makes it so it looks better. Also no chance of dropping the small cover behind the engine lol.

Gorgeous looking. Crud, I was all prepared to buy alot of gloss CF but this piece looks amazing. Now I'm not sure if I could go with this being matte and then the exterior pieces being gloss ..... or if I need to do all matte.
I went with all the exterior pieces gloss and the engine surround matte. I wanted as little reflection on the glass as possible
Received The Aerie splitter, diffuser and Side skirts. Gonna Have them installed next week then I'll post some pictures!
Can you post the weights of them?
At the moment, the parts are already being installed so it's going to be difficult.
hahaha. sorry I should have been more clear. The parts and the car are with the dealership and they will start working on it after the weekend.

Can you weigh the factory parts that have been replaced? That will at least give us some of the values we can plug into a spreadsheet. TIA
Sure, I'll try and get that done. The only part getting replaced is the rear diffuser as the rest is add on. I don't immagine there will be a huge weight difference between the stock plastic part and the carbon fibre one. Also things like the parking sensors, number plate and lights, exhaust and netting are carried over.
I will weigh them this weekend for.
They are pretty light but don’t think there is a big difference.
They just look very cool.
On another note I may change color of the supercharger to HY
Going to ask the dealership as they have a great paint guy. He has has don’t paint work for me on the Evora

Has anyone seen any interior carbon fiber trim for the emira? The only carbon fiber trim i've seen are the sticker types https://forzaaa.com/products/carbon-interior-kit-for-lotus-emira 
Also I'm planning on buying a bunch of exterior carbon fiber from both JUBU and Aerie, do you guys think that the different brands would have noticeably different looks to them? I figure they might be slightly different finishes but I am hoping that even when admiring it while stopped it shouldn't be that noticeable.
for reference, i'm planning on buying the JUBU swan wing, louvered rear window, front splitter, and possibly the front hood. while from Aerie im planning on buying the front vents, rear diffuser, side skirts, and mirrors (when it comes out)

I dont think anyone has an actual interior kit yet made form mould.... There are a few that are overlays like the FORZA kit you mentioned (paste and apply) but you can also do that by wrapping the trim yourself.Has anyone seen any interior carbon fiber trim for the emira?

I guess we may see one in the future when there is enough interest.
Look like ebay also has a good list of CF Parts
