Please pm me with package price for splitter, street skirts, and rear diffuser.
Will do, just working out the manufacturing details right now. We sunk a lot of time and effort into the CF parts. Producing parts that are non CF requires some retooling but is do-able.

We will most likely offer these items in fiberglass, then gel coated, then painted in CFM.

Stay tuned...

I would be interested in CFM painted as well, true carbon fiber seems a bit expensive for me on these. They look outstanding though.

I agree they look great. Before Lashway announced these offering, I was already looking and Pfadt for the same items. Definitely interested in a Carbon Flashed painted version of these.

Noted.

We're working on those parts now, and what it will take to have them painted CFM. OR, you can buy them and paint them yourselves locally.

It is done. Look for it on the car this week.

Unlike the other parts we offer, the rear diffuser is a stock lower valence which we have laminated with real carbon fiber (and added some lower "blades"). This keeps the production cost down which means a more affordable part for the end user.

We played with the idea of having a whole new part made, but product retail would have been in the thousands - something we did not want to offer.

The finished part looks UNREAL. You will not notice the difference, I promise.

Erik,

What exhaust is the car running? The thing sounds wicked.

Are the turbos front or rear mounted?

Hey bud,

Exhaust is open and runs through the rear mounted single turbo. This kit is built by us, and is our design. It will be available for purchase in 2014 when testing is complete...

It's going to be SICK!

Hey guys - here are some teaser shots of the diffuser prototype. Final production parts will be even better than this!

I will create a new thread just for this item soon.

Looks great. Now you just need to make carbon fiber hood vents and quarter panels vents to complete the overall look of the car. Would look silly to have all carbon fiber and those pieces still flash painted.

Great job Erik.

Does this mean the vents are in the works?

For those requesting diffuser "blades" , here you go.

We had these blades made in addition to the diffuser to get the basic look. We installed these on a diffuser (using 3m tape), and are going to get feedback. If people out there like the look, we can then offer a rear diffuser with 4 blades "bonded" into the part - so they'll be part of the rear diffuser.

What do you think?
