But hey...as you say it's a free market and it's your money. If you decide to buy the cheaper Chinese knock-off that's up to you. Just don't bitch about it when you get it and it doesn't quite fit exactly right or it breaks/discolors after a few months, then you call customer service in Shanghai and all of a sudden they don't speak English...except to say "No refund. No exchange." How the world really works. |

I don’t have strong opinions on this subject, but I will tell you Chinese knockoffs for everything has moved up the quality spectrum. This is a misperception they can’t do it right... that is so yesteryear.
Their copied projects broadly speaking are pretty close to OE these days. For everything. |

I am not trying to be on side and praise this company but work innovation does not have to bring something exotic that brings wow factor to ppl. It is worth to mention that they beyond usual customer service and actually "listens" what ppl like us on this forum wants. Yes world works and follows the one who signs the official legal document. It is inevitable. But some will still have the faith in their quality work and products that go fit to their beloved cars. Opinons differ, some does have their tendency to spend less and get poorly promised quality that has not been proven from others. Some are willing to spend 200 dollars or more on products that are proven to have good quality for long period of time. Comes down to your choice. I chose iND and sending money to Nate for this Sterckenn splitter today. Moreover, I appreciate ppl at iND who do listen to their customers and try best to fit individual needs and request. |

Before one makes judgement on products or distributors they should do diligence and understand more about the history and origin of such products. Understanding that certain companies go further in establishing QC's and more robust marketing but we should be careful throwing stones......
Just stimulating the thought process |

I just want to see RW come up with one original design that is successful in any market. At the moment every product they offer is an exact copy.
I totally agree with you and my problem with RW has nothing to do with the country of manufacture. In the last few years I have seen some carbon parts from China with higher quality than Germany. Even the carbon on the 918 is made by a Chinese manufacture.

I just looked on INDs site... for the M2, showing me only IND products.... I see the splitter. That's it that isn't just someone else's work re-painted or covered in cloth. What innovative products am I missing?

Got it over at IND during their Black Friday sale, so it was closer to the RW carbon price. Again, thanks IND!

Good luck and let me know how it goes. I am fitting 19'' HRE FF04 with 255/35/19 front and 275/35/19 rear. Going Ohlins R&T with 90/180 spring rate as recommended with same preload from Ohlins recommendation as well so that will give me about 10 mm drop. Hopefully I dont scrape the beautiful splitter piece. |

I wouldn't know about the quality of RW but from what abuse the Sterckenn has taken (and the accompanying M Performance winglets) I'd say that it is top tier. Then again, I wouldn't say I'm exactly qualified to speak on CF quality and design, so take from my real-world experience as you will.
