In either case, won't yank yer thread too far off topic, keep up the awesome work with the car (and don't hesitate to reach out if you're ever interested in swapping out the rollers to try out a flow-formed monoblock look, would love to take care of you )

My carbon splitter broke earlier this year going down a steep slope.
My rear lip is custom. You can find similar ones, but a little shorter on eBay. (M3 style)
I need to redo my KuRookie front bumper too. I'm going to fix the minor cracks and re-fiberglass it...add a little CF strips in places that flex to strengthen it. Sometimes I hate the fact there isn't a polyurethane version available yet.
Let me know when you post new pics!

haha...I didn't realize it was handicapped until I started snapping pics.
I made my own temporary lip for now..using that home depot garage weather strip. lol

It's terrible that it isn't offered in poly. I heard it was because it would sag... but they have the same style for the coupes in poly so I'm not positive that is entirely true.
I'm going to try mounting some quick connect bumper elastic things on the inside of the bumper and fender so I can reach under there from the bay to unhook the bumper... I think it will work out. I'm learning so many new skills that I hate already; fiberglassing, polyester puddying, etc. So much fun hahaha. If this bumper mounting strategy is successful I'll show you what I did. It should be very easy to replicate.

ah man, that stinks. I was hoping there was a company that supplied those lips in carbon off the shelf. They look good for DIY!

My only fear with those bumper clips with rubberbands is drilling a hole into fender and having hardware look ugly. If you can replicate this, that's something I'm looking into doing too:
I think I found a company to buy the hardware from:

With our cars any piece of hardware on the exterior looks very Tacky in my opinion. We can't pull it off like they can. Since I did a marker light delete by filling in the area with fiberglass I have some wiggle room. There are a few places on the inside of the fender that we can mount the Quick Connect circles without the hardware poking out visibly. I got to be very familiar with the fender because I just replaced one unfortunately
