###__Skyer Front Lip Interest__###

ZeD4Mr · 12-18-2020, 06:49 PM

Hey guys,

The journey of designing one of the most important piece is finally coming to an end.

This is our journey for this lip..

ZeD4Mr · 12-18-2020, 07:01 PM

So we went from

1. Design
2. Prototype
3. Poll from ZPost, FB, IG and others
4. Made version 2
5. More polls
6. Made version 3
7. Make yet another mold
8. First production piece.
9. Tweak for fitment, test mounting, trim/polish clean up..

Many of you participated so thank you for that! You get what you vote for.

Finally, it's here. This is the final prototype/production piece before the proper photoshoot!

So if you are interested in more updates or potentially interested in this Skyer front lip Launch Group Buy:

(before we figure out pricing, shipping and Group Buy details)

Please reply to this thread and I'll add you to the official interest list..

It’s probably safe to say that you should just probably add me to the list without asking me on every CF product you make. Please add me lol

rsutoratosu · 12-18-2020, 08:41 PM

I like one of those Skyer carbon fiber bobble head that he's making

Angelito · 12-19-2020, 12:46 AM

Sign me up, I'm in!

Cant wait to see pics on the car but so far it looks really cool!

As much as I would like to add myself to the list I need to wait to see what comes of the "track" addition for the lip. The current APR lip I have is much larger especially in the center of the lip and it with how far it extends back under the car. I am hoping the track add-on piece adds something like this so I can switch to this lip but still have the same aero balance. I soooo want this lip!

Thank you for your kind words.

The goal is to get this mounted on the car and start developing the splitter as an add-on.

It'll be similar to the Apr with the center gap closed and some design queues on the overall shape.

Can't wait to get this mounted. hopefully next week sometime..

Oh this is even more exciting then I thought! Can't wait to see what you have planned.

Hard to tell in the picture - how much of the fang is covered?

Fangs are not covered for couple of reasons.

#1 For a none-black car, you still maintain that aggressive long fang looks. If we cover the fangs, the specific ///M design is gone, it'll look like an Si bumper.

#2 By introducing a mounting crease that's upward, it'll collect dust and water. The adhesive can easily fail over time and become unsightly

The poll for covering the fangs or not were pretty even across many platforms so we had to make a decision to move the project forward.

I hope you are on our side still?

PLCZ4MC · 12-22-2020, 03:34 PM

If I can put my APR Front Splitter under this Carbon Lip I will be in. That is the part I am a little worry about.

How are you mounting your APR splitter right now?

If it's straight at the bottom of the ///M bumper, then yes, it will.

From what I know, the APR splitter are mounted underneath the front/back of the fangs and the undertray.

The new Skyer lip will only add 1/2" thickness to the bottom of the fangs, the rest of the design is at the center which the APR splitter doesn't mount to on a regular ///M bumper.

Does anyone here have a bottom view of a mounted APR splitter? TIA..

PLCZ4MC · 12-22-2020, 04:55 PM

Yes, right now is right underneath the bumper. I am just concerned if it be able to be mounted or not. I will do a little research on this before making a decision.

Understandable.

Sadly, no. I have 'chunks' taken out of the bottom of both fangs on my car where the transporter scrapped it on the carrier decking. If the Skyer front lip doesn't cover that I'll end up spending the money on repairing the stock bumper.

ZeD4Mr · 12-28-2020, 02:46 PM

The final version is now completed.. Give me a week or so to get this installed.

Super excited that this project actually got this far even with all the side-way BS happened this year.

Can't wait to put this on the Skyer car and get some photos for you guys!

Onto the pictures..
