i like wald spoiler's styling but the way it fits onto the bumper is what kills me.

ventross's trunk is more do luck style and it's dry carbon.

I've always wanted dry carbon for my car and now I can have it

Sorry for the double post but here's that news I mentioned earlier.

Ventross decided to cut the prices on the IS-F carbon pieces! I had a feeling this was going to happen but I didn't want to say anything until I had confirmation.

Here is the break down

Front CF Splitter-Old price: $1,345 New Price: $1,211

Rear CF Diffuser-Old Price: $1,145 New Price: $1,031

Aero CF Boot Lid Double Sided Back-Old Price: $1,995 New Price: $1,796

Aero CF Boot Lid Single Sided Back-Old Price: $1,485 New Price: $1,337

Can you explain the differences between the single and double sided boot lid? Do you have to drill or tap into the rear bumper in order to mount the rear diffuser? Thanks.

Do you know if Japanese spec and US spec IS-F's are the same? Can this aero be fitted to a Japanese spec? I was told here that they were different but I don't know where.

Here is an answer to one of your questions....

Double sided Carbon = $1,995.00 (Retail) (Dry Carbon)

Single Sided Carbon = $1,485 (Retail)

The difference being the double sided carbon trunk is lighter but, you already knew that

I was given information stating none of them were different regarding bumpers, body parts and general cosmetics.

To my knowledge...

- There is NO difference dimension wise, on any IS-F worldwide.

NON US-Spec receive a fender blinker and steering wheel correction where applicable.

Nice. Instead of an arm & a leg, it's just a hand & a foot!

I emailed Ventross about this and they got back to me today.

A double sided boot-lid means there is carbon fiber on the top and the underside of the pannel as well.

Single sided means only the top pannels are carbon.

As far as the rear diffuser goes. It installs with doube-sided adhesive but there are also two small screws that go in on the underside of the bumper.

Is the front lip dry carbon too? Is there any pictures of the whole carbon fiber line that is not painted on like the pictures shown on the Ventross site? Also is there any weight figures for the products?

Thanks!

Thanks AndyZ.

I'm assuming that the two small screws are self-tapping. I'm reluctant to put more holes into my car than what's needed.

I need to see this rear diffuser in person.
