I've been looking for gloss black trim pieces (splitters, air ducts, etc) and nothing has come up on the forums mentioning akamotorsports. Has anyone purchased from them?

Trying to avoid any Ebay purchases for trim because they just aren't doing it for me from what I have seen.

Thanks for any input you guys can give.

I would also like to know about the fitment, quality, etc. Staying with the gloss trim as well.

Never heard of them, why not go with more proven brands like RW Carbon, MHC or Ez Carbon

It was just the fact their prices are very competitive and from pictures look quality. But with ridiculously competitive pricing, raises red flags. Specifically wanting to find M Performance front splitter in gloss black along with gloss black air ducts. If I am forced to go carbon fiber, then it is what it is, I just enjoy the black styling over covering the car in CF like everyone else.

I have the R44 gloss black air ducts with gloss black vorsteiner grill, and the gloss black EAS lightweight front lip. I also wanted to go the non carbon route.

Just looking at the prices those definetly look like they're straight from ebay/China, just make sure you can return them if there's fitment/quality issues.
Also those pics look at bit sus, those cars have $5-10k+ in rims and $200 splitter?

Good call, you’re probably 100% correct and I am glad you pointed that out, completely sus. Just the prices were throwing flags which made me create this post.

This is the same options I will be going for. For the front lip I really am sold on M Performance style, just want to find a suitable fit. I’m not knocking anyone that has done it, but the non flush look of slipping over the black factory pieces of the splitter, just doesn’t do it for me. I have too much OCD. If anything I might go carbon front splitter and diffuser. Your setup looks killer though with keeping it all black and clean!
