Quality looks to be tops! We definitely need a new big time player to take the icarbon spot.

not sure if I like, specially if its taller than the iCarbon trunk, which I already thought it was too high, this car is fairly narrow and a tall tail makes it look funny

side pics are needed for final verdict

This trunk is not for cars that look fairly stock. It is for those that are already modified with suspension, wheels, other carbon fiber. If you put this trunk on a stock 135 then yes it might look weird but if your car is already modded then it flows with it.

Had my car at Supercar Sunday yesterday parked next to an M5 and a C63 AMG, no one stopped to look at either the C63 or M5 but instead stopped to look at mine and started asking questions just because of how aggressive looking the SleK lip and trunk make the car look.

I will get some more side shots later but in person it looks extremely aggressive and flows with the lines.

Yes SleK is making a hood.

Ebay eyelids.

Here are side angle pics everyone is requesting. These are iPhone pictures so quality isn't amazing.

Side pic looks decent. The quality looks amazing, its great thats its made in the USA, but not feeling the design. Just my opinion tho, I am sure others will like it.

Love the thread title! I wonder what happened to iCarbon... They had a lot of people supporting their products. Some members SWORE by them.

Regardless, nice to see that these are produce in USA. Where in the US, Florida? lol

Around iCarbon pricing which in itself is a cheap price point for American made quality CF.

I think it would be better if the spoiler bit was thicker like iCarbon after re-examining the picture.

I have no idea what an iCarbon cost.
Why are you dancing around the bush. Is pricing a sensitive issue with CF parts?
