To each their own, I suppose

I think the manufacturer was called Slek or something like that if I remember correctly.

As for the price if its all real carbon its not expensive I guess.

The hood is not included I think. (I think thats a varis hood? hmm maybe not, the varis hood is different)

That definitely looks like the slēk designs kit. From the pictures it seems that this may have been their roadster kit display car.

Considering original kit was $10k+, then the price seems reasonable.

I would be cautious though about putting on this kit, especially if the time comes to sell the car. @briansags on Instagram has the same kit on his blue Z4M roadster, and hasn't been able to sell his car for more than a year and a half now.

That's a Slek design car and that car in the picture is local to me. The kit will not be made in CF for that price. It'll probably be a copy made in FRP. Just guessing.

Does anyone know if they still produce those body kits? I can't find them anywhere

They went out of business but Ariusen was in contact with them for a small production run of their hatch. Might want to ask him.

There were only 2 of those kits that were ever made and the mold is no where to be found as far as I know.

Unless you mean in CF, I think more than 2 of the kits - Joon Maeng was running the Slek roadster kit on his Lucas Oil Formula Drift car some years back, Michael Essa also had the kit on his time attack Z4 roady. My guess is that both those cars had some extras, especially Joon's FD Z4.

As far as this craigslist seller, they've either had the kit for a long time or have their hands on those missing molds and are just making FRP versions and selling them. I've periodically seen the posts on CL for maybe 2 years now. Or it could be Joon and he just can't move his old back-up kits lol

OMG he's down to asking $15k with stock wheels now based on his most recent post. Not a bad buy, swap in proper suspension and wheel/tire setup and that could be a cool and very unique Z4M for cheap!

Yup $15k was a great price, which is why it ended up selling shortly after to someone in the Texas area.
