Got the package in my door step today after little over a month since i placed the order.
I bought the 3-piece lip, rear diffuser and 2-piece rear winglet. They are real carbon fiber and workmanship seems really good. I'll have them installed during the weekend.

Thank you weidake
I’ll be keeping a keen eye on this thread — enjoy the install and I’ll be keeping my fingers crossed for a smooth report!

Looks good other than the pattern being in a different layout/crooked compared to the one on your car. I have no idea if that pattern stays the same for each piece with the OEM one, or if it varies.

Pictures were kind of misleading. I placed them as close as possible so there was an angle. I'll post more accurate pictures after the install

Waiting to see how they fit. That's always a challenge with the knock offs

Fair point! I'm still not sure what I would like to do; with gloss black bits on the front, side and rear, I dont know if I'd rather replace all of those pieces with CF, or add a single piece front lip (leave the black edge pieces), and something like the R44 side skirts that add onto the black.

But always interested in afternarket options available.

Wrap it all in fake carbon.

If you don't have any CF on your car then this should work great as no one will know it's not OEM.

Sneak peek! My exhaust guy was able to put the kit on the car but took him the entire afternoon due to having to remove wheels and exhaust to install. We ran out of day light so I'll take more pictures tomorrow morning

I didnt order the carbon exterior package for mine, because of the price, and the car already being over $100K, so, this would be a good alternate for me. Do they make mirror caps?

Chinese knockoffs have come a long way.
I try not to give business to those copycats but at this price point, it's hard to resist.
