ha, same here. i think the ABS with a white accent would be great.

looks wild!

[Papethova]

YES!!! thats what im looking for.

The front pic looks right on, the side pic looks a little off. Do you have more pics? Does it bolt using existing holes? Whats the price? Can we see pics of the CF close up?

[Papethova]

Hope you dont mind I posted the pic here (copied off the Starck site, ill take it down if anyone wants me to)...

+1 You may end up buying another because of quality or fitment issues.

It will look great on the 1M.

[UNO///M]

Hell yeah! Count me in!

[Trutchy]

i will have one

[biglare]

Looks great and not over the top. If fitment is dead on this could be a real winner!

[arvinz]

I'm interested as well.

seems like there are a few people interested here. if starak did not step up to the plate im thinking we should take this to another vendor

I was in contact with Starck and because they already "had" the design I figured it would be easier to go with them.

Starck replied to one email and the whole thing was fishy. Afterwards none of my emails were replied to. I feel Starck is Icarbon and I really believe the clockwork orange car is all photoshopped. I find it odd that after I started this thread Starck leaked the exact same design. Not a hint of it before, but as soon as a group of people were going to move forward with another vendor my idea as their design was unveiled here in my thread.

I gave them a shot to step up and provide a product but they couldnt even reply to my emails so I am moving forward with the initial vendor that was professional with me from the beginning.

Let me work out the logistics of what we need to do as a group and I will update everyone here.

I will forward this thread to SleK and see if they are interested in making something like this since there seems to be a decent amount of interest. So then you guys won't have to deal with iCarbon / Starck.

[bklounge]

I'm interested. Black w/ VO stripe for me

[Das Ein]

A couple thoughts for potential customers to consider:

First, primarily for racers or guys who live in Germany:
The 1M already has a significant aero imbalance at speed. At 125 mph the rear has ~100 lbs less force due to aero lift at the back. This splitter is going to increase that difference significantly by putting downforce at the front. You'll never notice a difference below 100, but at speeds above that you'll notice instability (nervous, darty, tries to change lanes) and in the extreme case potentially high speed oversteer. If you run at those speeds I'd strongly recommend a rear wing or spoiler lip to counterbalance this.

Second point- in the 911 world these lips are usually seen as wear items. Putting Carrera Cup car splitters on street cars is popular and protects the front bumper, but some guys buy them in bulk because they are so vulnerable (especially the bottom edge where your stripe is going to be). With that in mind I would try to negotiate with the vendor to get the price down. With a large group buy we are essentially paying for the tooling and then letting them own it for later orders at a high margin. One way to negotiate would be for people to order 2 right out of the gate at say $400 each, get the volume up and get the price down so that repeat orders are more reasonable. Maybe this is high enough that it will be less damage-prone than the Cup splitters, but it's a thought.

We are doing CF and possibly going to look into an ABS variant. According to the vendor the ABS tooling is much more expensive so it will require a larger group to commit.

Papethova,

Do you have any update on a time table .... will Santa be delivering these to lucky households this Christmas?
