iCARBON DESIGN Intro Post with pics!!!!!

BrokenVert · 09-23-2009, 02:29 AM

I want the diffuser and spoiler...but alas, I am a poor college student.

However if you want to make a vert spoiler I will be more that happy to test fit it.

HondaGoneRogue · 09-23-2009, 02:39 AM

Looks like they copied the Hamann lip that I have lol. At least as far as I can see in the quality shot they gave us. Why not just wait (heard that before?) until you have all the pieces to go promising you'll post pics? Haven't you guys learned anything yet? So far, still failing. And please tell me that those insignias aren't permanently on those pieces.....

i wanna front lip spoiler

MastaMind · 09-23-2009, 06:06 AM

i believe the lip would be considered a Vorsteiner style lip, which looks nothing like the Hamann lip. Anxiously awaiting production pictures of the lip...

onefastman · 09-23-2009, 07:28 AM

Dam, I was hoping or a cheaper price than that on the rear diffuser...

Yeah, the "teeth" look like vorsteiner, but the STYLE of lip eg: spiltter, overhanging, skirt etc. appears to be like the hamann (splitter). Like I said, it's such a wonderful photo, I may have mistaken it in the midst of all my excitement.

iCARBON DESIGN · 09-23-2009, 09:55 AM

Good morning ladies and gents,

Just logging in now and wanted to clear up some confusion and concerns going on. Below is a picture of the Hamann front lip and some additional pictures of our lip. It is clear to see that our Front lip is very different in its style and design. The iCarbon lip flows more into the body of the 1-series almost as a seamless design.

As Far as the "insignias" they are not permanently attached to our parts, they are simply stickers that we attached for the photo shoot and marketing aspect. They do come on all parts but can be easly pealed off, or could be requested not to be attached at all.

As far as pricing is concerned we just want to let you all know that we are trying our best to price these as aggressive as possible even though our production costs are high. We are not imitating other parts, as you have all seen throughout this post we have to make custom molds and designs for all these parts. We are not in the business to knockoff and copy someone elses design and mass produce it with cheap material. iCarbon is using high grade material to provide you guys with the best fitment and finish possible.

If you are having a problem with the price please send us a pm, but please remember that the first 20 people in the Group buy will receive a substantial discount over the already low Group buy price. This discount is one shot deal and will give those in the "out of range" category a very attractive price, so do not miss out on that!

Yeah, it's kind of hard to tell. The hamann lip attaches to the bottom of the bumper. Looking closely at the photo, you can tell that the new lip comes up above the bottom of the bumper and terminates just before the flat part leading to the air inlets. I'm also guessing that the new lip won't extend out past the sides of the front bumper like the Hamann does.

The Hamann lip looks great and would be on my car already if it was available in CF.

Edit: Yeah, iCARBON posted new pics showing the difference.

Price for mirror caps are for the pair, and they are overlay mirror caps. We were going to do a full replacement, but cost to produce the intricate clips and grooves on the inside would have been very expensive so we retired the project and decided to keep these cheap and create overlays. They look great and have a complete seamless look. (post updated to clear things up)

Thanks

ichiban · 09-23-2009, 11:50 AM
