AZN is selling it for $2300 , which is the same price as the JL kit
not sure why people try to lowball but you have to pay to play

Probably comes down to construction. Not sure about the JL parts, but the NHC ones are made with only epoxy resin and carbon fiber fabric. Not all CF parts are made equal as cheaper ones use polyester resin.

Interesting tidbit I heard from NHC when I brought up JL. From what they say, apparently those pictures from JL were lifted from NHC when they did their initial product show of the prototype Nemesis system to local motorsport shops. The customer who bought the prototype was friends of JL and they took some pics and made a mold. JL uses FRP and wrap it in CF, while the authentic NHC one uses vacuum CF. There seems to be some bad blood between the two companies from what I gathered.
Anyways, you asked what the difference was, so there it is.

I'm sure if you would be able to have this done in regular abs plastic and sell it at decent price point you would be selling those left and right.
I really don't see the gain in blowing that much $ in carbon fiber that do not add power or make any gain besides that it nice to look at. Make it and they will come

Not going to debate the quality, but I am more of a Go then show kinda guy ... would really be interested in front portion and connectors, what PetroC63 is looking for, even if it is in carbon.

They haven't test fit it on the new facelift, so not sure honestly. I know they're trying to get their hands on one to try.

That's the goal, but it's not just more air, but also to reduce air turbulence.

Initial unit has already been claimed. When it gets in and installed, we'll have more pics.
