Anybody have any of the aero pieces from CT Carbon? This might be the best-looking M2 I've seen, imo of course.

Those things (and I say that politely) by the air inlets are laughable. The spoiler, not sure what to make of it. Alpha's is by far better, IMO (and I dont like their entire kit).

The hood on Vorsteiner's new kit may be better than Alpha's

I like how the duck tail lip is different from all the other companies. Not a fan of canards on street cars though.

That's why we all have opinions I don't think anything from Alpha looks all that great, and it's ridiculously priced.

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of the canards on the front, but they don't look horrible. I was looking at everything else in this kit (front splitter, side skirts, rear diffuser, and rear spoiler). Of course it's only available in carbon fiber, which I don't want. The lower aero pieces are still over-priced, imo, but much cheaper than anything Alpha offers.

The front lip and side skirts are nice!

I would personally opt out of the canards as well, but I'm always down to see different options.

I don't personally like the winglets, so it's nice to see another option without them.

Check out rcouchh build page. He is running the diffuser.

Also considering the front lip and side skirts.

From my research this is the only brand other than Alpha that
has the bottom sides of the parts with smooth carbon.

All of the other carbon splitters I see on the market are
are open on the bottom.

Wait, I may be just having a brain fart here, but could you clarify what you mean?

This lip and side skirts combo is at the top of my list for now, so just curious if what you brought up changes anything.

Thanks!

See image. This is from their website but the underside of the splitter is smooth and fully boxed. This I feel is like a true splitter.

All the other mfg won't show pictures on their websites. But the underside is hollow open space. See screenshot of the suvneer I found during someones install.

Alpha, Verus, and some others that do track components have what I call a real splitter. Just more expensive than what I want to spend.

Dang that’s hot.

That's what you led me to believe, but thanks for confirming that's what you meant. This is actually interesting, since it really was difficult to see what all this looked like from underneath.

I definitely like this better!

I don't know that it really makes that much of a difference on the splitter/side skirts. The oem carbon fiber splitter & side skirts on my Z06 with Z07 track pkg are not smooth on the bottom. Considering the majority of us are adding these components for appearance purposes, the smooth vs non-smooth bottom won't matter.

Fair.

I wonder if it helps with strength at all...not that any of us are planning on using it like a bumper car or anything.

I think this kit looks nice and is pretty affordable compared to others that I have seen and liked (AutoID).

Yeah, I think it's gotten to the top of my list at this point because of those points.

You think the weave (pattern) of this kit matches the M Performance weave? Would like to avoid a mismatch as I am wanting to get the carbon fiber air inlets and maybe the M Performance rear deffuser.

That's a good question. I'm not seeing too much in the way of confirming or denying how close it is...I do know many people have these carbon pieces from various places with the carbon roof too...maybe they have some thoughts.

I have the MP rear diffuser installed at the port.

When I am able to, I will order lip and side skirts (likely these CT Carbon ones). Hopefully it's the same or very similar, but also am thinking it wouldn't be the worst if it's not, since they're essentially on different sides of the car.

But in your case, with the inlets, those would be pretty close to each other.

Maybe rcouchh has more intel?

Is there a US-based reseller for CT Carbon?

Actually, that's a good question. I've just been on their website before, and actually haven't even looked up shipping costs yet.

EDIT: will cost $181 to ship to me.

I think in one of their youtube videos they mention 2x2 pattern which is what the M performance parts are. I will have to look again to make sure.

Negative. I asked them last month.

Good to know. Thanks for sharing.
