I like the kit in the front. very smooth. almost looks like the rear of the car on the advanced years. (both well rounded and full). a little "blah" on the side corner where the light is. it's just a little bland and strait down IMO. (like a big flat wall) Needs a touch of contour there like a running line or something. not feeling the wings under the door either. JMO. i think they should bubble out and be less "shelf like" to go along with the roundness of the rest of the car.

As far as people's opinions go, everyone, most especially the manufacturer should want them. it doesnt do any good to produce a kit that noone but the designers like. Companies that produce products and don't listen to customers feedback because THEY like it, fail.

again, overall a nice kit i'd consider it.

the executive kit has been around for other cars.

I have it on my BMW, and there are members on this board that have this kit on thier GS. It looks much better in person.

Wow, that bmw is hot. But of course it already has "hard lines" in the body.

Yeah, I haven't found a good photo to jack the CF lip from...maybe I'll just have to have a real one made...

Very interested myself. Body mod cash is not plentiful now though. I think it looks great and I would put this on mine if I were in the market. Any potential for Urethane?

Right now no there isnt. We're only making lips in Urethane. From a company perspective as a tuner/performance company the aero kits are considered a performance upgrade. Having it in Urethane would be against the performance stance. Unlike the Lips which add onto the heavier stock bumper.

Unless your banging the ground constantly i wouldn't worry about damage. I have FRP on my car as do several others, and i have had no problems. I've scraped my share of driveways, and hit curbs. Of course it is not as impact resistant as the Urethane, but it is repairable and is lighter.
