I'm pretty sure they are overlay, which will be way easier to install. Soon enough i'll have them.

Excited to announce! The Rw_Carbon fiber side skirts are in! Hopefully when the weather clears up, I can get these installed and SLR photos taken. Still waiting on the Autotecknic carbon fiber front boomerangs

Super easy install, just as simple as a phone case.

Carbon Fiber boomerangs arrived and these replace the existing boomerangs. Can't wait to get everything installed! Quality is top notch as always.

Niize. When you took off your Maxtons were you able to salvage them? Or are they one time use? Just curious.

Maxtons came off just fine. I need to clean them up and try to sell them.

Coming along great. You're inspiring me to change mine up. How easy do the boomerangs come off? I'm going to wrap them in gloss black vinyl and off the car would be way easier. Are they just clipped in place? Would you thinking for price on those maxton side skirts?

Thanks for the kind words! The entire trim around the boomerangs come off easily. There's a video (Youtube) on how to remove them. About 10 mins or so for each one to come apart. The PITA was removing the OEM boomerangs and installing the CF ones. They are held in with tabs but on really well. Shipping the side skirts might be expensive because they are long. Anyway, I MIGHT be traveling to chicopee MA next weekend. If you want to pick them up, let me know.

BUMP. No new updates other than I had time to detail the M40i. The pollen this year is insane.

Beautiful ride! Your cars are pristine. I am a big fan of the phytonic blue with black grille. All of the little things look great. Spacers bring the wheels out from under the body. Reflector deletes and black edged roundels look super clean. And the carbon lip and caps are dope. Really pretty car. And I am jealous of the BO system. I built in 2021 and had to go with HK. It is nice with a lot more volume range than the standard system. And the EQ screen is cool. But I would have preferred the BO system. Nice ride.

Thank you brotha! I really appreciate the kind words. The modifications done are a nice touch without being overbearing.

Thank you. This was professionally paint corrected and ceramic coated. I touch it up every so often with FICTECH CAR GLISS

Really love this look.
Do you notice a big difference in the twill appearance of the kit seeing as the parts are sourced from different companies?
Is your front splitter genuine 3D? Or Alliexpress? Huge difference in price but wondering what the quality is like?
I’ve been looking at the Larte kit but it’s almost $10,000
Wondering if the quality difference is worth the huge cost difference with all the carbon I vacant find on line.

1.5 years later my (oem)3D Design front lip still like new. There is no such a drying defects on a carbon or anything similar. OEM quality until the end.

If you planning to take anything from Aliexpress, make sure is not a carbon. No matter how nice is on a pictures.

Awesome to hear….not really considering AliExpress.
I was more interested in if there is a noticeable difference in the carbon look between the 3D parts and IND parts?
