Smile HP Autosport SleK 1M Side Diffusers

SLeK Designs 1M Side Diffusers

At SLeK we strive for greatness. Whether it being great quality, fitment or finish. Our brand new Carbon Fiber Side Diffusers will take your 1M to the next level. Made out of our VARTM technology which insures perfect fitment, durability and stiffness. The side skirts are 100% hand made in Southern California with raw materials used from the USA, Canada, Germany, Japan, France, UK, Italy and Australia. As well as having highly trained and experienced carbon fiber experts crafting the side diffuser.

Not only do these side skirts give the 1M a more finished appearance, they are also a valuable component in the aerodynamics of a performance vehicle. At a high rate of speed, large volumes of air travel along the sides of a vehicle, the air ends up affecting the underbody airflow which is not a positive thing. These side skirts make the underbody airflow smoother akin to any normal side skirt in the way that it keeps extraneous amounts of air (such as air from the vehicles sides) from entering the underbody area.

Like all of our products at SLeK these side diffusers are completely constructed of carbon fiber and/or the latest epoxy resins to obtain the lightest weight and yet yield the highest strength possible. Using the best materials available is how SLeK excels at producing high quality parts that are both strong and light.

Using all of the best technology and materials that we have incorporated into the SLeK Carbon Fiber 1M side diffusers, we are able to offer the strongest and lightest carbon fiber front lip on the market.

Features:

-OEM Fit and Finish
-100% Hand Crafted in the USA
-Ultra light weight construction using SLeK’s exclusive VARTM technology
-100% Carbon Fiber and epoxy construction for maximum durability and lightness
-Includes all hardware for installation
-Aggressive design
-Assists in the aerodynamics of the car by keeping air from rolling under the sides of the car and making airflow as smooth as possible.

Available Options:

-1x1 Weave
-2x2 Weave

These are made to order, please allow five to six weeks of lead time.

Retail: $1744.20

Is there anywhere where I can see more shots of this car? I really like the subtle touches That finish out the bottom of the car and take away from the rounded "belly".

I've tried to convince them. They said it would only happen if they had 10 people that pre purchased them to pay for the costs / recoup development since they aren't sure if people are willing to pay for high end side skirts. Price would be pretty much the same as these.

Well if they made 1m still I would have bought one.. I didn't want to buy a used one that someone has driven hard unless it was me.. lol...


I used to have a ZR1 Corvette and I loved the carbon side skirt on the side.. was a nice finishing touch... I have seen the BMW performance side skirts with a lip on in blue... Its on this forum... I know there are alternative's like universal carbon creations out there that they make the carbon a certain length and you just mount it and cut to fit... I prefer something molded to the body that looks factory..


I hope they make it.. Maybe we can start a thread for this interest in the side skirts.. They are obviously capable of making them.... Or is this thread for that?

I'm on a facebook page that I'll be blasting today for this item..

I'd suggest make a new thread. If 10+ people are willing to pay 1k+ for these sideskirts I can convince them to make them. People might have to preorder though. They will be custom made to fit the mold of the car, just like the 135i front lip is. I had to leave my car with them for over a week to have that done.
