Who Wants Carbon Fiber Splitters?

3002 tii · 03-21-2014, 07:28 AM

In my search for a quality set (weave and fitment) of CF splitters, I came across a company that made a limited batch for the community a few years ago. Maybe some of the older members recall but the company was Exotics Tuning. See previous launch thread here:

http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=348439

I reached out to Ken recently to see if he would do another batch and he said yes depending on interest level. So I'd like to post a feeler thread for the guys at Exotics to see if they're willing...

I'm interested if they can get it down to the $400 price range. Seems expensive for something that isn't dry carbon to be totally blunt, but I'm still interested.

Put your name down, and we'll see where pricing shakes out.

Possibly excuse me for my ignorance...

... but is there that much of a difference between these ExoticsTuning ones VS the ebay ones that are ~$200??? Other than the fact that the ebay ones have more "coverage".

From what I gathered, the eBay ones still require trimming so the fitment isn't great. And you're correct about coverage but I think that little bit of extra material that wraps around the side is enough of a dealkiller for me. The Exotics Tuning ones blend in much better in my opinion. The only other option I know of are the Agency Power ones which are around $700 and I heard even their weave is ok but not great.

Never seen Scorpiome products up close so can't comment but keep in mind pricing hasn't even been determined, this is just a feeler list. It final pricing is out of your range you can always pull out. Also is Scorpione even in business anymore?

My car is Space Grey just like the one in the photo so I have a pretty good idea of what they will look like on my ride.

Yea those are similar to eBay ones, good value but not crazy about the design. Hopefully if there's enough interest Exotics will remake these at an attractive price point.

Ok... I'll stand by to see what you guys come up with, but I wasn't planning on paying more than $250.00 for front splitters. seams like they would get pretty damaged after awhile anyways.

I have nothing to do with the company.

You should just go with Scopione, even best case scenario I don't see them being at $250.
