CF front apron tips

I was wondering if anyone has installed something like this? Interesting look vs. full blown splitter/lip look and looks clean. The pics are from company in Germany that cost $1,075 so I am wondering if anyone has seen something from US or Asia like this at more reasonable price.

Love the look on Kicherers car.. $1075 is ludacris. They should be no more than $400.. Probably paper thin like the CF mirror caps.

The only cars ive seen those on are the new E63's. I cant say ive seen this from a US or Asian company, but im sure they will come around making one. $1,075 seems very expensive.

I have been looking for something like these for some time now. Only others I have seen were Kicherer's @ Approx 900 Euro's ($1170 USD) if the will sell you just the flaps as it comes as a complete front splitter set.

I could see $500 but over $1000 is too expensive

I'm pretty sure that I paid about $150 for top notch painted splitters for my 335i

how about just CF vinyl wrapping those sections, would be less than $100 and look the same.

Similar look, but I prefer a slight extension to the existing lines. This provides just the right touch of aggressiveness.

Not to mention a little corner extension might settle down the front end a bit at top speed

That's an assumption that's way off base.

OK, the guys sent me photos of the first units in CF. I can't wait to get them on the car...I've been wanting something like this for a year. Perhaps I might post some photos next week, but the guys may want me to wait until the finished units are mounted on my car at C&C in Pasadena. (I think that is the best approach myself). IMHO they are much better looking than the Kicherer version...sqiugmang...you be the judge of the look for yourself, I think you will find they make a real difference!

Pretty much...problem is I'm out of the country and traveling with no phone until next week, and I do need to talk to the guys first. However, here is a photo that shows the molds in the formative stages. It actually shows the shape and effect of splitters better than the CF pics I received.
