    No way to make them out of plain old ABS plastic?

    Would be alot cheaper to make , more flexible and less of a worry driving around.

    Folks,

    I have three commits. Only need two more, for those on the fence, all I can say is that this is the time to be bold! Would love to see us get to 6 or 7. For those that have committed, I will email you details on how and when to pay...

    Thanks everyone.

    Trying to send you a private message and your mailbox is full, won't accept it. Seriously interested but need details re: payment (Paypal?) and a few more details on the installation would be helpful. Thanks!

    dont stress about driving it around mate, my car is low..it has been on there for 4 years....sure it has some marks underneath it (you have to be careful on driveways etc) but day to day..i have been airborn at 115 mph landed .kinda ok (no damage to splitter, no cracks, nothing). regulary over 150 mph copped one small chip in the front bottom of it.in the past 4 years..to be honest plastic will look real pox if you dont colour match it to your car, as imo its too tall (at the sides) to be just plastic...i am painting mine next week and leaving just a hint of carbon, as i have had it for a long time and are looking for a new look...so if you like carbon and the look the splitter for the $ you'd be mad to not get one, if your just worried about normal driving...i assume you currently dont run into things?? you'll be fine mate...

    actually taking some stone chips out the body work now..see picClick image for larger version.

    Some folks have asked about installation, durability, payment terms etc...and I cleaned out some space in my pm box.

    Here are some answers

    1) installation is super easy. Can be done with one person. I recommend that you put film over the paint on the lower bumper. This will protect the paint finish from the spoiler itself. The spoiler attaches to the lower bumper lip and then wraps around the front. The fit and finish of the product are excellent. It is nothing but autoclaved carbon cloth and resin. They do a nice job with the weave, and there have not been any voids from what I have seen.

    2) The lowest front section is a little exposed to curbs and the like, and will not clear a parking curb... To bolster this from being damaged or split, I used some two part foam to fill the back side. Then I filmed the entire spoile to protect against scratches and rub marks.

    3) as far as payment, my preference would be to have folks send checks, I can take paypal as well, but don't want to eat the fee.

    4) there is no upwards limit, we can get more than 5, but they will only make as many as I order.

    5) my plan is to hold this open until Monday, then communicate on Momday night, Tuesday morning Japan time. So let's say, 5 pm eastern monday for commit.

    Thanks everyone, I am really excited about these.

    Folks,

    I have 4 confirmed...I need at least one more to make this group buy go...if you are on the fence, just know that you will never see this price again. When Ben and Steven enquired last year the price was 2400.00.

    My goal is to get these ordered tomorrow night, Tuesday morning Japan time with monies collected before week end.

    Somone on the fence? Let me know what your questions are...I'll get right back to you.
