    LOL! Mine will be painted. We have two people that want them in the UK as well but the shipping thing is the issue. In order to do that he said I need 3 of the same kind going to the UK (two want CF) and can have 3 mix and match for USA. So we are almost there!

    Hey folks. That's a good deal, it is due to the fall of he yen against the dollar when we did our group buy a few years ago, plus it sounds like they got a U.S. distributor. When I did this, all of them came in a large crate that I had to source from a customs broker in New Jersey. The unexpected costs were the brokerage and customs fees. If they now have a US distributor the issue should be solved. I stashed away a couple of these. Hehehe.

    Good summary. As further clarification, there will ALWAYS be a brokerage and customs charge to import to the US - even if they have a local distributor, you will see that as a cost in the product. Also, references to "the dollar" are a US dollar. Members who live in Canada will be affeccted at a 35% rate to account for the CDN dollar value on the world market.

    I do wonder, with the specific intake cooling ducts on the belly pan, and the stock bumper tilting up to allow air under; how much will this spoiler reduce quality cooling airflow?

    Let me add to that...this is the closest shot I've seen of one; look at how horrible the fit is around the corner by the wheel, not sure I could tolerate that. Looks to fit nice in the middle, maybe this just needs more tape or glue

    Folks,

    there is no tape required for fitting these. They use one of the existing mounting screws in the wheel well, and they essentially snap fit. The fit is impeccable if not too tight. I actually use a layer of film to go between the paint and the spoiler.

    They really bring the front end of these cars into this decade...

    Yeah that is actually my car at G2's shop. Like Stephencl said it snaps on extremely tight and bolts on inside the wheel well. When I installed it I felt like I was going to snap the carbon fiber because of the tight fit and need to have it flex around the car. I'm curious where you found that picture!

    I thought so, hope it gets fixed up soon! Pic was on FB, if I was still in town I would have snapped it myself, great looking car So basically you didn't bolt it tight on the sides due to worry of it cracking? Guessing others have got it to fit good, that spot just always stood out to me even when bolted up clean.

    The lip honestly does not even need the bolts at the wheel well since it fits tightly and mine are pretty loose as is. Not sure if tightening the bolts would eliminate that gap; I just didn't want it too tight because my ride height is lower than stock and the lip has some give to it that I prefer.

    Unfortunately the car might be down in Eugene a few more weeks as I'm currently trying to source a 'new' used engine.

    Angle and shadow.

    The gap is minimal.
