Carbon Fiber Trunk Lip done and side skirt lips! teaser

One off Carbon fiber trunk lip done. the car should be complete and I should be posting pics of the complete car in the next 3 weeks. the Trunk spoiler will not be available but the side skirt lips (which also help aero dynamics by creating wind tunnel under the body of the car for extra down force, has been used in formula 1, Le mans and GT races for years) will be available for sale through Dinmann. they also include rear bumper side extensions lips. they will be a direct fit for the AMG rear bumper and side skirts without modifications.

haha, thanks guys. everyone always asks for pictures of the parts and the new mods and the car, so I posted it and there was no feedback! so I was thinking why even waste my time taking pictures and resizing and posting, i'm already lazy and don't feel like doing all that. but I guess I should still post.

DEFINITELY keep posting, even if it's only a handful of us that are taking advantage of your work. I dont think there is any need to resize as long as you're taking iPhone pics (which is what it looks like).

Looking good Ash!

Love the agressive rear lip, do you have a front lip to balance it out? I need one! Lol!.. Since I lost my Reiger front splitter my front end gets lighter at 140mph nothing concerning but I do notice!

Guys I got to see this thing first hand the other night and all I have to say is Ash is luck this thing would not fit my convertible, because if it did, it would have gone home with me. The carbon work is just amazing!! Keep up all the hard work.

@paul, whatsup brother. yes I do have a two step lip system for my newly built front bumper I also have the side skirt carbon lips and rear bumper side lips, center diffuser and i'm also adding an underbody diffuser as well, so pretty much creating full tunnel under the car and the trunk lip is just complementing the under body arrow works.
yes sick430 did almost jack it when I was installing his paddle shifter setup Friday night. lol

Another amazing creation by Mr Ash. That thing looks great! That's exactly what I had in mind. The shape and size is pretty much similar to the mold I created at home with paper mache. I made several molds over and over again until I built the right shape. Then I never went through with the project only because I had plans of selling the car.

But if I remember correctly, I thought we both agreed to for quality and looks. Last time i checked, we were supposed to do this...



or...



so big you can see it from the front. LoL.







HAHAHA! Just kidding bro. Excellent job on the spoiler. I like it.

Call me or text me on a Friday. Let's have lunch.

Nice work Ash! I could do with all of that!

Now you need to move to Britain or I need to get to the States, shipping is too damn expensive!

the side skirt add ons are available but only two sets for time being. my car will be completed next week with the exception of the rear brakes and supercharger. the brakes will be done within the next month and the supercharger over the holidays if time allows.
