Can they make anymore? Im sure a lot of people would want to but one

Eddie135 · 02-07-2012, 03:27 PM

Not sure is icarbon front lip in production.
It is hard to find now in the market.

We are doing a photoshoot soon to see how people react to the product as they made it slightly different than icarbon so its not copyright. Once the photo shoot is done and theres interest, they may put this product up for sale.

The only flaw like i said on the last post is theres just a tiny fitment issue which we used 3m to fix, but as you can see it looks great.

I'll definitely get back to you on it.

BMW86 · 02-07-2012, 05:58 PM

It looks identical to iCarbon in the photos. In what way is it different?

We extended the carbon fiber longer, the splitter pieces are a bit thicker and have a lower level type splitter thats connected. I'll get some better pictures to show you so you have an idea.

SpaceG135i · 02-07-2012, 07:58 PM

Heres some pictures i took right now to give you guys an idea. Again we are trying to replicate the Icarbon almost exactly but at the same time putting ourselves in a position not to get in trouble. We have made the splitter section a bit thicker and shorter. We have made the ending part connecting to the end of the bumper more thicker as well and taller. Again the only flaw is we had to use 3m to secure the middle part but other than that everything looks good.

Here are some pictures. Not the greatest quality because im not a photographer but hey there pictures for now.

BMW86 · 02-07-2012, 08:16 PM

I can't spot the difference... still debating if I want to purchase another lip or not. I have a feeling it will inevitably crack on my car

Looks good though

Harlequin · 02-07-2012, 08:17 PM

Vinney, you've either got to get another lip or get that one fixed/removed... The crack in the middle is shocking

The crack is so bad I just tell people they are splitters

Honestly, from a far, nobody notices. It's only when people come up close they go 'ouch'.

LOL! I'm trying to talk to the manufacturer and see if we can drop price a little as well. My vendor did a great job of getting it to me, we want to be as high of quality but as low as possible with pricing. We are trying to offer this lip at anywhere between $400-$475 and be the affordable carbon fiber vendors for the e82 that does not disappear and actually has a inventory of products.

We are also trying to design things people like, our next step after the lip is designing a clk63 black series style diffuser for our cars both quad and single outlet. We want to put a little more aggression on the diffuser and actually look a bit different since the scorpone, icarbon, bmw performance, and jc sportline almost looks exactly the same.

I was tired of waiting.... if you guys wanted to know the reason lol

BTW this became

Harlequin · 02-07-2012, 08:27 PM

Haha... Fair enough... Maybe you should pull it off and have it made into splitters?

SparklingRed · 02-07-2012, 08:41 PM

I think it will look awesome if the carbon extended into the vents

Get me the quad diffuser right now Payam! Need a new one since someone rear ended me lol.

woosh · 02-07-2012, 08:53 PM

That looks pretty good. Please don't extend them into the vents... that'd ruin the simplicity of it IMO. Definitely interested if the price is right. Also, a PU version would be much cheaper and more flexible... i'd be more interested with that material.

Ya PM me any info cause I was just going to go buy an ebay knock off the Hartge quad and have a shop make a quad exhaust for it but if your doing this I'd rather work with a local shop to make sure it would fit.

woosh · 02-07-2012, 09:03 PM

Payam? hmm.. zood bosh digeh! (assuming ive deduced your ethnicity correctly)

Eddie135 · 02-07-2012, 09:04 PM

Looks exactly the same as the existing icarbon ones.
I drilled additonal holes onto the middle section and secured with screws as 3M tape along is not strong enough.

Unkie · 02-08-2012, 12:20 AM

Here's another lip option
It's PU - so nice and flexible. Just as well as the number of times I've scraped it a CF lip would have been decimated.
As shown here its unpainted so a bit dull

I appreciate it's not to everyone's tastes, but I like it.
