There are two vendors (that I was comfortable with) that specialize in higher end dry CF. The one I have decided to move forward with is the supplier for most vendors on this forum.

I have chatted with a few people about it already and am happy to extend my pricing to others (it’s about 1/3rd less than they will sell to you directly). I am placing a large order shortly (my car arrives this week). I will likely do a group buy of sorts once I receive the product and verify the quality/fitment (depending on time commitments honestly).

What does the pricing look like? If it's similar to the message you quoted, then I'd be interested

sales@racing-cf.com according to the OP on post #23. But I have not ordered yet…have just been asking them questions about the products.

Same ballpark. Little more expensive but all dry carbon. I'll post more about it eventually. DM me if interested in something specific. I don't want to post the company or pricing because I use my actual business to negotiate the pricing (it makes me look very credible to these suppliers even though I am not trying to go into the CF business, lol). I don't want to get a bad reputation because they wouldn't be thrilled (nor would the many forum vendors who buy from them).
Hi there,

Can you share pricing on a few aero bits for G80?
MP style front splitter
MP style side skirts
MP style rear splitters
MP style side breathers

So would I order through you or directly with the vendor you're working with?

Thank you!

I'm interested as well. Looking for the grill and front lip. I can maybe swing it if the dry carbon pieces are $100 more each but probably no more than than.

I received my front lip from Dongasi today. It look great and is dry carbon. Also ordered CSL grill in gloss black. Quality looks great and I don't see any imperfections. I'm having everything installed Saturday and will get back on fitment. Prices are reasonable and Jack Chan is very responsive. All of my parts were received in 7 days.

Can you send the pricing? He sent me pricing and it was almost identical to Kies motorsports pricing. He did say it would be a lot cheaper if we found people to buy in a group.
Attached is the pricing he sent me

Yes, shipping is high but still cheaper than kies. I believe the front lip is about 1200 on kies site. The vorsteiner is 1499 on their site.

He did say that even if we found 2-5 people to do a group buy with pricing would be a lot cheaper

I'm installing my grill and lip tomorrow morning so let's see how fitment will be.

Dongsai supplies to most vendors. If we can get a few people for a group buy prices would be a lot cheaper through dongsai directly. If I don’t find anyone to do a group buy with I might just buy 2 of each and sell the extra parts on here

I wonder what the quality difference is with dongsai products and this vendor on eBay. eBay pricing is cheaper with free shipping

Edit- nvm from reading earlier comments seems like there’s a big quality difference

I didn’t look at every item but quick glance I can buy all that for 33% less than what’s listed.

That is the supplier I decided to go with though. Several people have bought from them and the fitment, clear coat, overall quality, etc seems very good. I also confirmed who they supply through some channels I have access to.

A few people have posted asking me for prices, etc. I’m admittedly not super motivated because I’m not making anything off this, so if you want something PM me. I have been dragging my feet on placing my order but I go get my car tomorrow so will probably do it tonight. I can do it whenever though. Shipping is pretty reasonable for most stuff, things that are really big like side skirts obviously cost more to ship.
I was happy with the price because it was overall cheaper than what I saw with other vendors and is the same product. I have a hard time paying more for so etching when I know I can get it cheaper.

I had my parts installed and fitment was perfect. I have Turner skid plate and had to make some adjustments. You will need washers for lip because of different screws from skid plate. It took most of day because my installer is very anal and I had to adjust my rear springs and install Dinan valve controller and darkness caught me. Will take photos tomorrow.

I had my parts installed this weekend and it took most of the day.
Mperformance front lip- Dongasi
Front brake ducts - xxii tuning
Gloss black CSL grill - Dongasi
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.
