Racing Sport Concepts Aero?

I really dig this company's designs.

Anyone have experience?

Who makes this one? I can't decide if I like the integration with the side pieces or mounted under them.

Ive seen it on the AutoCouture shop car shown above in person when I was picking up my G80 from ppf and ceramic coating. It looks just as nice in person as in the pics.

I just ordered the front splitter. Hopefully it looks good and the added downforce is a plus. Now the 6-8 weeks wait begins.

I think I am going to do a custom APR splitter, since I really want something more functional..

I think it's pretty functional. It looks pretty close in design to the GT3 race car. What makes you think it's not functional?

Not enough surface area and shape. It really needs to be flat on top to create a proper air dam, and generate down force. Also should extend beyond the end of the bumper on the sides.

If you want to increase downforce meaningfully, it will require 4-6" of splitter beyond the front edge of the bumper.

Take a read on race car aero and designing your own.

Well, okay, what you're suggesting is not even what 99% of the sports cars and super cars out there run. It's fine if you going for something that extreme.
This is a street/track front spoiler, and I'm definitely not turning this into a race car that's going to smash at every driveway.

I ordered the RSC lip a while back because I personally think its the best looking of all the cf lips out. The M performance lip and the aulitzky lip look pretty good as well. They both actually look very similar to each other. I picked the RSC lip because of the weave will match both cf vents weaves(the weave splits in the middle of the lip) and I liked the smooth curve as opposed to the sharp edges on most of the lips on the market. I also chose this lip because it removes the gloss black parts of the front bumper. My lip should be here next week, autocouture just updated me today.

I ordered mine back in July when it was first unveiled. That wait time sounds about right. I should receive mine this week or early next week.

No info yet. It will debut at SEMA and we will know more then. My assumption is that it will be CF and probably cost around $1500-$1700 just like most other splitters.

I've already ordered the RSC because I decided I don't want front splitters that don't remove the side pieces.
