Diffuser, Spoiler, Front lip, Wheels....

Here are some photos I took this after noon of my car.

Front Lip is from Arkym.
Diffuser and Spoiler are from 3F Engineering.
Wheels are Alufelgen SF-71 matt black.

The Front lip has been very impressive in it's durability and fitment. As one of the newer styles, this was a must have over the older designs that have been out for quite some time.

The Diffuser and Spoiler are one of the first ever kits sold in the US that was not a prototype. Some of you may have seen the prototype kit on the site and noticed the fitment issues with the spoiler. The finished product however has fixed that and in the pictures you can see that it sits flush. The ends of the spoiler that hang over the quarter panel are slightly beveled so they don't touch. You can see the 1/8 inch space.

I was originally going to go all out with some boutique wheels then decided against it because of my 2500+ mile road trip. The SF-71's held up like a charm. Love the look at a fraction of the cost.

3F Engineering has been working with me on some new products they are working on. They have outstanding customer service from order, delivery and follow up. They even drove my parts halfway too me so I could them on my car before I had to travel.

I'm happy with the overall look front to back.

Enjoy!

Tim

love the front lip,

but the diffuser looks like a crappy hamann knockoff, and the spoiler just looks out of place...not very clean.

Overall car looks great, except those two pieces IMO

I like it... especially the wheels. Have you ever tried removing the license plate frame and just using two simple bolts? Since your plate is white it might enlongate the horizontal line of the back. When I look at those shots of the back my eyes go to the plate instead of the diffuser.

just a thought

Good idea... I'll give it a shot.

I had these pictures on my computer from MFest since I'm looking at different kits to change the look up of my car...

Maybe these could shine some light
