"Euro" Carbon Fiber Splitters are back

[johnrando]

No personal interest, just an FYI. The european made from OEM mold c/f splitters are back (with a caveat). See the thread below.

I have those and really like them but they are starting to wear through on the bottom. I would mind picking up a spare set...

[rguti153]

Well last batch

[theothersawyer]

Ugh! Money is tight, but I NEED these in my life!

diddo on that. needs to be tax return time, I'm ready to go hog wild.

I had a pair and they were nice. But they are pretty thin so I sold them before installing them cause I didn't want to damage them.

[Sockethead]

The OEM splitters for Kpro's 135 were the same way. They're 100% CF. Some replica parts (like my old Clubsport splitters) are overlayed with CF so they are going to appear to be much thicker but the layer of CF is just as thin.

Same here. Though I do sometimes regret the fact that I did as the Khoalty ones I got had terrible fitment.

[theothersawyer]

I might just have to pull the trigger on these if they are still available when I get back from vacation....I shouldn't do it, but I may!

[johnrando]

You have to buy all 7 though. I'd run this again but I'd have to get an additional $25 each set. Trust me, it's a total pain in the ass to do and not worth it. Maybe for the extra coin it's semi-worth it.

[BADCLOWN]

kinda stupid he wants to sell all 7 as a whole. so what if they are packaged up, break it down. i be they would sell MUCH faster than trying to find that one person that wants a set so bad that they are willing to buy 7 and then deal with the hassle of selling 6 other sets after the fact.

[johnrando]

Well what you'd need to do is get 7 commitments up front, paid up front. Definitely doable, but again, a PITA.

[Sockethead]

I'm in for a set if someone wants to do this... I don't have the time with 18 month old twins to manage

[theothersawyer]

Oh damn, yeah never mind then! I don't want 7 sets!

[BADCLOWN]

or just separate the sets lol.

[theothersawyer]

So who wants to be the one to buy 7 and sell off 6?

[cakM3]

Oh damn, yeah never mind then! I don't want 7 sets!

Yeah, at that price point I think one will suffice :)

[danewilson77]

Start a sign up list?

[UdubBadger]

I keep stuff off the front of my car, last 3 BMWs have taught me that I'm not responsible enough to keep them in good condition to warrant costs

Ehhh resprays on that part of the car are cheaper than buying new sets of splitters every year or so. Lol

A respray won't fix physical damage such as scrapes... bodywork drives the cost up BIG TIME.

[johnrando]

Some jerk said he'd do it for $100 markup. Ridiculous. So, I'm going to do this at $25 per set. If you want, sign up over there (use the link below) and I'll run it. If I don't get enough, trust me I won't lose sleep. :)

[rguti153]

U r the man john!!! .... yep 100 more he the jerk

[Sockethead]

John I don't see a link here on Tapatalk and I'm not a member over there. Can you put me down for a set and let me know when you need payment.

[johnrando]

For sure Rob. I have a feeling this will fill up fast with only 7 slots. For the others, make sure you get in quick. Rob, you are in.

[illirep]

I'll take a set, is it $225 shipped?

[johnrando]

$238.72 plus shipping. LMK if you are still interested.

[theothersawyer]

I'm interested! Put me down for a set!

[johnrando]

Will do. That's 4 of the 7 spoken for.

[Sockethead]

Sounds good. Just in time for spring!

[quikryptonite]

Crap. I can't believe that I missed this. And I just got a big check from Uncle Barry too...
:facepalm

[johnrando]

I think e46f.c user shibblez was selling a set he bought and never used.

[quikryptonite]

Blast! A week late on that one too.

[GE Geoff]

Dang it! story of my life....a day late and a dollar short. Bugger....If something like this revives, I'm in for sure guys.

[johnrando]

Update. Package starting to work it's way here, gotta go through customs, etc.

[theothersawyer]

I'm getting excited!!!

[BADCLOWN]

Good deal, now i just need to find someone selling a CF rear diffusor

[johnrando]

The tracking status says "Departure from international depot", but it doesn't give an estimated arrival date.

[johnrando]

They are here! PM me with your address, name, and screen name.

[BADCLOWN]

sent, just in time for spring!

[Sockethead]

Yay!

[theothersawyer]

[johnrando]

If you've sent me your address, I'll hopefully have shipping quotes for you today. I dropped them off at the local postal store for quotes.

Wow, you all are fast. That was awesome, thanks for making this easier vs. multiple trips to shipper. All splitters going out tomorrow (Monday).

[BADCLOWN]

Schwing. So much CF enrt to the clown.

[johnrando]

You're now joining the ultimate bookend CF setup. :thumbsup

[theothersawyer]

These will arrive just in time for a birthday present to myself!!!

[theothersawyer]

Just got mine today! Thank you so much John for putting this together! They are BEAUTIFUL!

[johnrando]

Awesome! They are, aren't they?

[Sockethead]

Got mine today too! They're going right into storage until I need them.
Thank you my friend! :)

[theothersawyer]

I'll be getting mine wrapped in clear bra and then installed!

[johnrando]

Great Rob. You're welcome.

[BADCLOWN]

I'm gonna guess mine will show up tomorrow. I know I thanked you privately but want to do it publicly as well: thanks for shouldering the brunt of this task Rando.

Two thumbs way up

[johnrando]

You're welcome. Thanks for the kind words all, either via PM or publicly.

[BADCLOWN]

not only did i get one carbon fiber bit in the mail today but the splitters were sitting on my door step. they are gorgeous Rando!

[johnrando]

Sweet.

[theothersawyer]

I don't even think I had mine in my possession for an hour then I gave them to my friend. He will be wrapping them in clear bra. So I can't even look at the beautiful carbon fiber! :(

[Sockethead]

All you guys just be careful, especially if your lowered. These stick out a couple of inches further than nothing so your angle of ingress/egress is going to be less.
Angle your car when going up and down sharp inclines, giant speed bumps etc.

The reason I'm getting a backup pair is that one of mine is worn almost all the way through on the bottom from the angle of my driveway entrance. I have to enter at almost a 45 degree angle to make it in without scraping, backing in is impossible. I have to be really careful leaving certain stores and shopping centers in the area for the same reason

For reference, I have H&R sport springs and stock staggered tire size...

[johnrando]

Absolutely Rob. I have a backup set as well.

[TWong1200]

I may be selling my never been mounted set I got from the previous GB. I sorta want to go with a Hamann style lip or Aquaray. I'm torn!

[rguti153]

Let me know I'll buy them

[BADCLOWN]
