New Widebody kit spotted

Found this new kit... it reminds me of the manhart. Too bad the car its put on seems to be at stock height and the matte paint does not compliment the kit. something looks off.

Looks like a hacked up manhart rep..

Shame because the price point is there for sure.

The kit looks unique, adds a nice modded touch to the exterior. The price of almost 3500 dollars is very steep though.

The price is great but I wouldn't put it on my car it looks a bit off.

Why any body would want to put that garb on their beautiful car is beyond me! It just makes in look like a Japanese kit car. Just because a car is fast does not mean you have to make it look like a GT track car. I laugh my azz off when I see a butchered car like this.

I like the BMW racing widebody... I'm going to have to fight the urge and just wait until something else comes out that matches the look of the car.

The fit and finish isn't so hot when you look at the picture taken from the right rear corner of the car.

Doesn't look like it was engineered and/or manufactured very well...

Great catch, I didn't even notice that

Looks horrible, the extra "air" scoops are just laughable.

It is our kit they are advertising as a knock-off.
As it is an homage to the original BMW Motorsport kit, it is not meant to be blended in seamlessly at the fenders, but rather to keep the "bolt-on" look of the original.
Having said that, it is of course possible to mount / paint it in a way that will make it look like a 1-piece solution. However, that was not our intention in creating our 11 piece kit.

What I can say is that this blue kit was not installed by us. See the pictures below for how it is intended to look (It is 1:1 the same parts).

The carbon (non-painted) skirts make the car appear lifted almost. Looks a lot better second set of pictures (black car).
