I don’t know if I just got insanely lucky, or their QC is so insanely high the tiniest imperfection gets the part binned. Maybe a bit of both. I hope you have just as good luck though!

May I ask how you ordered? Through whatsapp and invoice? I was speaking to them through alibaba and then she proposed to continue the chat in whatsapp, which I have been using as the primary source of communication since.

You’re in luck. Just finished installing the front lip and side corners. Fit was perfect.

Hey! Can you estimate by how much the car gets lower with the front lip?

[QUOTE="Laguna01///M3;29823198"]$220 eBay ducts fit perfectly, and finish is damn near perfect.

What front splitter is that? I like the ones that fit under the gloss black, given the Gloss black trim all around the car.

Did you have to remove the bumper to install the front lip?
Or are those corner pieces slip ons?

Did not remove bumper. Had to use a second person to pry apart the bumper and wheel air inlet for one screw holding the part though. It’s a nightmare and took forever.

Do you have a side profile of your car? Trying to see what the Suvneer lip looks like from the side.

I can't stress how insane it is that I got nearly all the carbon pieces for 1k bucks.
Were you able to tell where the "defects" were on your parts?

No. The one part that did have obvious defects was the spoiler (see last pics in Imgur album)

Might have to meet up with you at some point in the near future to take a look at the CF stuff you got. I am getting my G80 this coming Monday () and I have been thinking of getting similar stuff to what you got. I live near Ashland.

BTW, is Nick the one helping you with the installs?

The front brake ducts were the hardest to fit perfectly and there is a slight gap especially on passenger side but I bought these from a forum member and he said they were not perfect but for the price, I'm ok with it. The Dongasi stuff was very easy to install and fitment was great. If you have the Turner skid plate, you will need washers for center lip install. Also the Stradele radiator guard was a bitch to install and the screws touched the core so we had to back it off to be sure it did not puncture it.
