**NEW** Agency Power Carbon Front Splitters - Group Buy

Agency Splitters are on their way!!!

I will post pix as soon I receive them and have them installed.
$725 bones was a bit much but I have been waiting for these. I like them much better than the lips we have to choose from. Hope the fit is spot on.

So basically you just took the iCarbon lip, copied the mould and removed the center portion... Only with a terrible weave. Cool.

The feedback they should add the middle piece and make this into a lip which would generate alot more interest.

If they added the middle piece then it would be exactly what they copied. An iCarbon lip.

Well I debated about the iCarbon lip and may be disappointed with these but I do like them better than Exotics. The iCarbon lip was about $20 more. I will post pix when they come in and you guys can be t..he judge. Hopefully they won't be too bad. They were higher than I had hoped for but oh well....on to iCarbons diffuser next.

Return them and icarbon would give you the $20 discount

Hello folks, I received my Agency splitters yesterday and was really hoping some of you, "onefastman" would be wrong on this product. BUT, you were not. The quality is not what I hoped for. BJ at VIVID was great to work with and was supportive on my decision to keep or exchange. The weave is horrible and the finish was not as good as my "fake" performance spoiler. I boxed them back up then decided maybe they won't be that bad installed, so I proceeded to my body shop friend who installed them today. The fit did NOT match the three factory bolts. Only one hole,the far edge one, would fit. I elected not to mount them then. I called Agency and they were SUPER nice and they informed me that only one hole would fit and the other two on each side would need to be drilled? Makes sense to why there were four self tapping screws included. Next, the 3M tape did not even come close to touching the bumper as it was suppose to so I had to add three more layers of 3M which made it perfect. I called Agency back and made them aware of ALL the issues I had being that it is such a new product. They were pleased to have gotten the feedback.
Bottom line: Someone has got to bite the bullet so other fellow addicts can decide if they are interested. They look great on the car and the weave is not as noticeable now. Would I pay $700 for them again? NO. Get in on the group buy or wait a bit til the kinks get worked out and the price gets reduced if that happens. I have to say I STILL like the looks of splitters vs. a lip. The front edges of the splitters seem to protrude more. Sorry to post with no pix but it got too dark. I will put some up tomorrow.Gotta go...
my chicken is burning.
Special Thanks to VIVID for their courteous service.
