This was posted a while back with links to a SA BMW forum.
Nice development work but I would have liked to have the front blended into the bumper instead of tacked on.

IIRC they were thinking of marketing the pieces.

That CF center looks fantastic

I "myspace photo" is an expression meaning an extreme close up, typically using a flattering angle and close cropping. Also known as a "myspace angle". So what he's saying is he likes taking those extreme close-up shots.

Example:

Any updates? the center beam part is really interesting. With it you get to have a splitter, but not reduce the ground clearance.

Please let us know; however, am I wrong or does it look that the fangs were modified in that SA pic? Looks like they were elongated, but then again that could just be my impression. if that is the case then this is a more permanent solution and if you are trying to sell the car YMMV in being able to sell it as it is not a bolt on piece?

I am very interested in more information regarding the rear lip.
That lip is exactly like the one I have pictured in my mind but haven't found yet

I PM'd him on VWVortex but never got a response. Yes it does appear the fangs are extended and blended in.Maybe they could change that for a new batch of orders.
