Initially I was hoping for that. SEMA has kept everyone busy and just as it ends I am leaving for PCD and wont be back until Thanksgiving.

I dont know what the time table is to do tooling or for the design and development of the piece. If these are things that would take days then it may be possible.

Ill try to work on it from the road on my way back from PCD.

Any updates on this piece?

The more I look at it the more I like it, especially after seeing the Raze lip on VO, this is so much better (in terms of matching the front line of the car).

Grey Dove · 11-18-2011, 11:19 AM

I'll even have a cf one

just make it happen before christmas please

Papethova · 11-18-2011, 12:14 PM

Ill need a car in the Chicago area for measurements. Is there anyone here that is willing to help us out by offering their car to be measured?

If I dont get a bite here I will repost the request in the general forum

Papethova · 12-14-2011, 09:45 AM

The price magically jumped from 590 to 1-1.2k. So I contacted another party and the price point with them was in that high range as well. Would there still be interest at that price point? I think for something sitting a few inches off the asphalt the price point would be too high for people.

I will still search other options to see if I can find someone at a lower price point

Papethova · 12-14-2011, 01:28 PM

UPDATE: I have contacted a few other sources, I am waiting to hear their bids/recommendations. They are aerospace guys so I am not holding out that it will be affordable, but you never know.

My alternate plan is to just do this myself and I have an idea for a MUCH cheaper plastic version to test out and if people like it and there is demand I can get into the CF side of it. Or we can run a $1-200 part and just replace as we curb the thing.

Maximus_Prime · 12-14-2011, 11:47 PM

+1 for a plastic piece. I haven't pulled the trigger on a CF lip because I won't be able to stomach seeing it cracked when I eventually curb it... keep us posted!

EINSER M · 12-15-2011, 02:05 AM

great looking piece dude, hope this comes through.

keinz · 12-15-2011, 02:06 AM

at $580 it wouldve been good price
but at $1000, think a lot of people will back off

hopefully cost for a plastic or polyurethane will cost $100-300

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.

...

no argument, just really keen on understanding how you come to the rear aero lift value?

Just wondering, what happened with this thread?
Did everyone lose interest in this piece?

I honestly feel this lip would look way simpler/cleaner than any other out there.
Did anyone find similar alternatives that don't cover the whole front bumper side to side (slek)?

Oh, there you go...sorry!
I just went through the whole thread and I have to tell you the lip looks incredible!!
And I'm sure it looks even sicker in person.
A little more expensive than I anticipated for the 'after GB' price, which would make me extremely paranoid about it touching a bump on the road.
Thanks for the links guys! I'll have to think hard before I give in.
